1. Getting Started
The Avitech Sequoia UHD is a highly innovative device that comes with its own embedded operating
system and graphic engines. The Sequoia UHD integrates functions of a KVM (keyboard video mouse)
switch and a robust multi-viewer into one enclosure, providing a simple multi-viewing solution for any
user who works in an environment with multiple computer and video systems. With a single Sequoia
UHD being able to connect up to four-plus-one computers and instantly switch inputs among them,
users can monitor and remotely control any four computers at the same time on a single display plus a
fifth computer on a full-screen display with just one set of keyboard and mouse. With the added option of
IP-based remote control, this ensures intuitive user experience at the router’s destination over an
extended distance from source devices, and allowing streamlined access to a bank of computers by a
single keyboard/mouse. The Sequoia UHD also supports a variety of video formats from HDMI to DVI-D.
With the SUHD-IP module installed in your Sequoia UHD, intuitive signal switching and routing can be
achieved through the in-system GUI. The IP TX/RX list panels provide full configurations for switching/
routing of video signals. User can freely switch a detected TX source to any of the four built-in RX ports
in the SUHD-IP module, or route a TX source to any of the detected Avitech RX devices in the same
network mask through the IP TX/RX list panels, performing centralized management over all connected
devices.
The Sequoia UHD features an on-screen pop-up selection plus mouse right-click menu that allows
handy operation and control of the device. By clicking the relevant pop-up selections’ icon or pressing
the hot-keys through the keyboard, users can easily convert monitoring styles to various layouts, and
adjust windows to any size and position on the display. The mouse right-click menu allows users to
freely set up or configure numerous features for different applications; including audio source routing.
In addition to its interface and features, the Sequoia UHD can enter Remote mode to transfer keyboard
and mouse control from the Sequoia to the connected computer systems. Users can then remotely
control any of the connected computers with the set of keyboard and mouse on the Sequoia. The
“Surfer”feature, along with other user-friendly commands supported by the Sequoia UHD allows users
to freely switch control between the computers and the host Sequoia in an intuitive manner.
This chapter will continue to introduce more features and specifications as well as external components
of your Sequoia UHD / UHD+ / UHD/T / UHD/T+.
The information appearing in this manual applies to Sequoia UHD / UHD+ / UHD/T / UHD/T+, as well as the
IP receiver modules (Sequoia UHD-IPc / UHD-IPf), UHD to HD converter module (Sequoia UHD2HD) and
the KM card (Sequoia UHD-KM)), which can be ordered to create highly customized systems. All of the
Sequoia series add-on cards are compatible with either of the Sequoia UHD models.
To get the best results from Sequoia UHD, we recommend the following:
When using your mouse with a 4K display, select a mouse that has a 2000 dpi setting.
In industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables (shielded Ethernet cables are often marked
F/UTP or FTP).

Table 1-2 Sequoia UHD Series Comparison
The Sequoia UHD is HDCP-compliant and capable of handling HDMI®and DVI-D inputs. Featuring four
HDMI input ports, and one HDMI output port, a single Sequoia UHD can connect up to four-plus-one
computers, four videos, or any combination of four inputs. It can simultaneously display four inputs on a
single display, and allows instant switching of inputs through its OSD.
The Sequoia UHD features automatic sensing of input signals, automatic detection and selection of
optimum display resolution; it also supports hot-swapping which allows addition and removal of any
input/output signals without powering down the device. Genlock capability supports synchronizing
multiviewer outputs to the reference signal and the rest of studio/production equipment.
For audio monitoring of the four remote computers, the Sequoia UHD features four 1/8 inch headphone
jack via the proprietary Sequoia male to dual male Y splitter audio cable. It also allows monitoring of the
fifth computer on another 1/8 inch headphone jack via the proprietary Sequoia male to dual male Y
splitter audio cable.It accepts embedded HDMI®audio (8ch-stereo). Instant switching of audio signal
source for audio routing including “mix” and “mute” is available through the right-click menu.
For operation, Sequoia UHD provides convenient on-screen pop-up selections
and right-click menu as well as easy to recall hot-keys that can be controlled by a set of keyboard and
mouse, allowing free switching of operating modes and adjustments for numerous behavior that suits
different applications.
In addition to monitoring, the Sequoia UHD can remotely control the connected computers through the
USB keyboard and mouse connected to its rear panel. Utilizing the “Surfer”feature –which allows users
to transfer keyboard and mouse control from one computer to another by simply moving the mouse
cursor to the window border of the targeted computer, the Sequoia UHD is able to seamlessly switch
between and control any of the four-plus-one computers connected to it with just one set of keyboard
and mouse. Up to two IP cards (SUHD-IP) used in conjunction with Avitech’s Pacific extenders allows
sources to be installed out-of-sight at central, air-conditioned equipment rack and accessed remotely.
What is a window?
A window is a container for an input source. You can have multiple windows playing the same source. You
can resize and move windows in the user interface.
The Sequoia UHD is also extremely scalable; users can easily expand the system by cascading up to 25
chassis which allows for the monitoring of up to 100 signal sources on multiple screens.
The maximum number of Sequoia UHD chassis that can be cascaded may be limited only by the minimum
Image size that user deems acceptable in the monitor display.
Integrated file and folder transfer across computers provides convenient file management. By selecting
an origin and a destination through the onscreen user interface, the Sequoia UHD allows simple copy/
cut and paste of files/folders across connected computers using its embedded file managing tool (Go!
Bridge Utility).

4
The Sequoia’s front panel features LED indicator for monitoring Power.
The temperature monitor with automatic PWM fan speed controls to protect against system failure. The
low noise and speed-varying fan along with the stand-alone and rack mountable module designs make
the Sequoia UHD suitable for various work environments.
1. Non-standard keyboards (i.e. keyboards with a USB hub, keyboards that need driver installation and
programmable keyboards, etc.) are not supported.
2. Compatibility between the computer and the Sequoia UHD may depend on the computer’s BIOS Setup.
If an incompatibility occurs, refer to the computer’s BIOS Setup and make sure USB port is enabled if this
item exists in the computer’s BIOS Setup (typically found in the "Advanced" or "Onboard Device
Configuration" menu).

1. The Sequoia UHD supports DVI-D input(s) through the optional HDMI to DVI adapter.
2. The Sequoia UHD's HDMI input/output ports support HDMI revision 1.4 and HDCP revision 1.4.
3. For best results with HDMI/DVI, use cables under 15 m long, or shorter if you use connection adapters. If
you need to place your Sequoia UHD more than 15 m away from your sources, use a signal extender.
4. Use High Speed or Premium High Speed HDMI cables.
5. The 59.94Hz refresh rate is only supported during transmission of a genlock source to the REF IN port.
6. To prevent temporary image discoloration when switching 4K input sources in full screen mode, make
sure that the “Output color mode (color space)” setting of all four computer’s 4K display card connected
to the Sequoia UHD has the same “RGB” or “YCbCr422” or “YCbCr444” setting.
7. 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 corrupted displays).
Other display modes not mentioned here can be tried when encountering display problems.
8. It is suggested to always reboot the Sequoia UHD after switching to a different monitor (especially one
that supports a different optimal resolution); this will ensure the Sequoia UHD to select the correct output
resolution and frame rate.

2. System Configuration
This chapter provides information on installing and removing a modular card into and out of the Sequoia
UHD chassis. It also discusses the process of setting up your Sequoia UHD.
2.1 Installing aNew Module on aBlank Slot
The Sequoia UHD chassis accepts the following modules:
SUHD-MB Module (may be pre-installed from the dealer)
SUHD-MB/IPT Module (may be pre-installed from the dealer)
SUHD-IPc Module
SUHD-IPf Module
SUHD-2HD Module
Keyboard/Mouse Module:
SUHD-KM Module
1. Because the Sequoia UHD is available as a customizable system, the illustrations in this chapter and
those used throughout the manual may differ from the model(s) you purchased.
2. Keep a note of which transmitter/receiver is connected to which port. You can use this information later
when you rename transmitters/receivers in the IP TX List and IP RX List tables.
3. You do not have to use all the slots.
Installation and removal of the modules follow the same procedures. In this section, a SUHD-IP module
was used as an example.
To install a SUHD-IP module on a blank slot, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Remove the two screws securing the back plate.
Figure 2-1 Remove the Two Plate Screws
Step 2. Remove the back plate.
Figure 2-2 Remove the Back Plate

12
Step 3. Align both sides of the SUHD-IP module to the rails of the slot, and then slide it all the way into
the chassis.
Figure 2-3 Align the New Module to the Rail on Both Sides
Step 4. Tighten the screws on both sides to secure the newly installed module to the chassis.
Figure 2-4 Tighten the Module Screws on Both Sides
2.2 Removing aPreviously Installed Module
To remove or replace an installed module, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Use a slot head screwdriver to unscrew both puller screws from the right-most module (installed
from the dealer).
Figure 2-5 Remove Puller Screws from the Module
Step 2. Use the just-removed puller screws and screw them to both sides of the module to be removed.

13
Step 3. Remove the two screws securing the module to the chassis.
Figure 2-6 Remove the Two Module Screws
Step 4. Grasp both left and right puller screws and pull the module away from the chassis.
Step 5. Install another module (or a back plate cover) to the chassis and tighten both screws.
