Switch off the computer and disconnect the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
Connect a USB port on the computer to a QuadraVista QF USB input port using a single USB A-B cable. For
computers with PS/2 keyboard and mouse, connect both computer ports to a QuadraVista QF PS/2 input port
using a PS/2 Y cable. For distances greater than 16 feet (5 meters), use a USB or PS/2 extender.
Connect the computer’s digital video output to the QuadraVista QF’s DVI input using a DVI-D to DVI-D or
HDMI to DVI-D cable. For computers with an analog video (VGA) output, use a VGA-DVI-I cable to
QuadraVista QF DVI input. For distances greater than 65 feet (20 meters), use a DVI or VGA video extender.
