To set up the QuadraVista HDMI with four computer systems, perform the following steps by referencing the previous figure: WARNING: DO NOT place any objects on the top or side panels of the QuadraVista HDMI to avoid affecting its internal components heat dissipation process. 1. Connect one end of the all-in-one cable to the SOURCE 1 connector on the rear panel. Connect the other end to the first computer system’s USB / PS-2 and audio ports by matching the colors of the respective connectors. 2.
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend using a USB connection instead of a PS-2 connection when available.
