Table 1.3.3 Specifications
1.The Sequoia 4K60 supports DVI-D input(s) through optional HDMI to DVI adapter(s).
2.The Sequoia 4K60's HDMI input/output ports support HDMI revision 2.0 and HDCP revision 1.4.
3.For best results with HDMI/DVI, use cables under 5 meters long, or shorter if you use connection adapters.
If you need to place your Sequoia 4K60 more than 5 meters away from your sources, use a signal extender
that supports 4K60 resolution.
4.Use Ultra High Speed or Premium High Speed HDMI®cables or AOC (Active Optical Cable) for HDMI
along with USB extender for keyboard and mouse operation.
5.To prevent temporary image discoloration when switching 4K input sources in fullscreen mode, make sure
that the “Output color mode (color space)”setting on all connected computers' 4K display card have the
same “RGB”or “YCbCr422”or “YCbCr444”setting.
6.For monitors whose display mode can be set between “Graphic”and “Video”, select “Graphic”;
for those whose display color format can be set between “RGB”and “YPbPr”, select “RGB”;
for those whose display mode can be set between “PC”and “AV”, select “PC”
(selecting the other ones may lead to display image inaccuracies).
Other display modes not mentioned here can be tried when encountering display problems.
7.Reboot the Sequoia 4K60 after changing to a different monitor (especially one that supports a different
optimal resolution); this will ensure the Sequoia 4K60 selects the correct output resolution and frame rate.

2.Please be advised when using wireless mouse/keyboard, signal interference
may occur with other 2.4 GHz devices in close proximity, leading to slow mouse
movement or other issues. The Sequoia 4K60 has multiple USB ports closely
packed together, and with each USB port capable of supporting one user
connection, it would be best to use short USB extension cables to physically
separate the wireless USB receiver dongles, or use USB hubs for direct wired
connections to mouse/keyboard/touch screens to avoid any interference.
3.If you plan to use a USB hub to support more USB devices i.e. keyboard, mouse
and touch screen, it is strongly recommended to use a powered USB Hub to
prevent any drops in performance. If a powered USB HUB is not available, you
may use an unpowered USB 2.0 Hub instead.
4.The following items can be commonly used for USB extension to avoid any
interference:
A short USB extension cable can physically
separate multiple wireless USB receiver
dongles concurrently connected to the
Sequoia 4K60, preventing any signal
interference.
A USB hub for direct wired connections to
mouse/keyboard and/or touch screen is an
option to completely prevent interference.
For USB connections over longer distances
(up to 150 feet), USB extension over CATx
cable is recommended.

2. System Configuration
The Sequoia 4K60 features automatic sensing of input signals with “NO VIDEO”alarm, automatic
detection and selection of optimum display resolution, and auto configuration of multiple user
workstations with USB connections. Each USB port can be used to create a user workstation
corresponding to the HDMI outputs with the matching and subsequent port numbers. For example, the
mouse for workstation one with HDMI OUT port 1and 2must be connected to USB port 1, and the
mouse for workstation two with HDMI OUT port 3and 4must be connected to USB port 3. To control
your Sequoia 4K60 directly, connect one or more keyboard and mouse sets to the USB Type-A ports
marked on both of its front and rear panels. The Sequoia 4K60 supports five different display
modes can meet various operating requirement. This chapter discusses the connections for different
display modes (except Display Mode: Video wall, please refer to section (5.1) “Video Wall
Configuration”for more details). For setting up display mode configuration of Sequoia 4K60, please
