Introduction

Thank you for choosing Rose Electronics QuadraVista QF. This product is the result of Rose Electronics
continuing commitment to provide state-of-the-art switching solutions for today’s demanding workplace.
The key advantage of the QuadraVista AF over conventional KVM switches is that it allows you to
simultaneously display and manage 4 computers on a single console. It combines key features of a high­end KVM switch and a digital Quadviewer, scaling and converting video at both input and output.

Selectable Display Modes

In this mode, the screen is split into four fields of equal size,
each displaying the entire screen contents of one source.

 Fullscreen Mode

In Fullscreen mode, one of the four sources is displayed in
full screen size and maximum resolution.

PiP Mode (Picture in Picture) 

Using this mode, the full screen display of one of the four video
sources is accompanied by one to three small images (thumbnails)
of the other video sources which are displayed in the right hand
side of the screen allowing simultaneous monitoring.

 Win Mode

In Win mode, each video source is displayed in its own
separate, detached widow. Each of these windows can be
freely positioned and their height and width can be
adjusted.
