3. Basic Operations
The Sequoia 4K60 always operates in one of its two operating modes: Host and Remote mode. Users
are allowed to freely switch between these two modes anytime during the operation for different uses.
This chapter discusses these operating modes, their functions, and hotkeys in detail.
Host Mode
When the Sequoia 4K60 is in Host mode, the Host cursor appears on the monitor corresponding to the
USB-A port marked of Sequoia 4K60 which the keyboard/mouse is connected to. The cursor will
be controlled by this connected mouse.
Host mode provides a monitoring solution for the incoming computer/video signals. Users can use
the Host cursor to select and adjust window size, position, and display layout directly through the
on-screen interface.
Double-click the mouse left button on a specific window to enter the Remote mode.
Double-click the mouse right button on a specific window to close this window.
To switch back to Host mode, use the keyboard “Pause/Break” hotkey, or double-click the mouse
scroll button.
Other features such as the pop-up selection menu and hotkeys are features of this mode to enhance
ease of control and operation and are discussed in detail in section (3.1) “Host Mode”.
Upon re-connecting a keyboard or mouse, the Host cursor may disappear. Move the mouse to allow it to
re-appear.
Remote Mode
The Remote mode is only applicable for computer sources with USB A/B cables connection to Sequoia 4K60
for mouse/keyboard operation.
By default when Sequoia 4K60 enters Remote mode, the Host cursor disappears, and the “Surfer”
feature is enabled. The window’s border will turn yellow; this signifies that your Sequoia 4K60 is now in
Remote mode with “Surfer” feature.
“Surfer” allows keyboard and mouse control switching by moving the mouse back and forth among
the windows.
Remote mode provides direct keyboard and mouse control to the selected computer system as you
regularly would within the window.
Your Sequoia 4K60 can only enter Remote to take control of a computer with correct USB Type-B
port (marked 1 to 4) connection to the rear panel.
For computers hosting Linux, or Android, or Embedded Operating System, you will need to switch off
“Surfer” feature by using keyboard “Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F8” hotkey or pressing side-key of the
mouse (if applicable) in order to control that computer.
With “Surfer” feature turned off, the window's border will turn red and the keyboard and mouse
control will stay within the window.
Tips on Navigating the Sequoia 4K60
A maximum of four computers can be connected to a single Sequoia 4K60. The Sequoia 4K60 puts
the images of four computers onto four windows and simultaneously displays them on the monitor.
Instant switching of inputs through the pop-up selections is supported; thus, any of the four
computers can be monitored and controlled on the display.
When Host mode of the quad-view monitor is active, use the mouse connected to your Sequoia 4K60
to resize and reposition windows on the display (only available for the first HDMI output).
