How is the Sequoia 4K60L being used (Sequoia 4K60L Display Modes)
Quad Multiview + Bypass (Daisy Chain Capable)
In Quad + Bypass mode, the Sequoia 4K60L outputs a quad-multiview image from the HDMI out port 1 on the rear
panel, and single-view pass-through from the three HDMI output ports on the front panel.
If the unit does not show a quad-multiview on the monitor connected to HDMI output port 1, connect a keyboard to
one of the USB-A ports and press Alt –Q –B (one key at a time) to change the display mode to Quad + Bypass.
Daisy Chain –
Multiple Sequoia 4K60L units can be daisy chained to display up to 16 source images on one display. To daisy chain
multiple Sequoia 4K60L units follow the steps below:
1. Connect the HDMI out port 1 of the
secondary Sequoia 4K60L unit(s) to the
input ports of the primary Sequoia 4K60L.
2. Connect the HDMI out port 1 of the
primary Sequoia 4K60L to the display
device’s HDMI in port.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all secondary
Sequoia 4K60L units and connect all
Sequoia 4K60L units to an ethernet switch,
as shown in the diagram. Using the web
GUI, make sure all Sequoia 4K60L units are
set to different IP addresses.
4. Once all those connections are made,
power on all units, and wait 100 seconds
for the units to auto-configure in daisy
chain mode before using the mouse and
keyboard or web graphical user interface
(GUI) to change any windows or settings.
Note: two Sequoia 4K60L units daisy chained can display up to 7 source images, three units daisy chained can display up
to 10 source images, four units daisy chained can display up to 13 source images, and five units daisy chained can
display up to 16 source images.
Single-View Seamless Switching
In Seamless Switching mode, the Sequoia 4K60L outputs four
single-view images from each of the HDMI out ports on the rear
and front panels, with seamless switching on each of the
connected display devices.
If the unit does not appear to be in Seamless Switching mode,
connect a mouse and keyboard to one of the USB-A ports and
press Alt –S –S (one key at a time) to change the display mode to
Seamless Switching.
To switch sources, there are three methods:
1) Use the keyboard to press Ctrl –Monitor ID –Input ID. For
example, if you want input 3 on monitor 2, press Ctrl –2 –3.
