Rear Panel Connectivity
Using one of the all-in-one cables, connect one end to the Source1
connector on the rear panel. Connect the other end to computer #1’s USB
or PS/2 connectors and the audio ports. The connectors on the all-in-one
cable have color connector to match the appropriate ports on the computer.
Connect computer #2, #3, and #4 in the same manor.
It is recommended that the USB connection to the computers be used
instead of the PS/2 connection. If a PS/2 connection must be made apply
power to the QuadraVista HDMI unit first before turning on the computers.
If your operating system is Windows 2000, you may need to perform the onscreen steps before the USB device will work.
Next connect a HDMI cable from each of the four HDMI In ports on the rear
panel to the four computer’s HDMI output ports. If the computer has a DVI
