Installation
Before you install the Processor, make sure all your devices are switched
off.
- Connect a DP cable from your PC to the DP Input of the Processor.
- Connect the power adapter to the Processor.
- Connect the HDMI Output of the Processor to the HDMI Input of your TV/Monitors. NOTE: We strongly suggest using monitors of the make and model. If using monitors with different native resolutions, connect the monitor with the lowest resolution to port 1. Otherwise the screen may remain blank and not work at all.
- Power on the computer, then the Processor and then the displays.
- If you don’t get a picture, reboot your PC. If this does not help, attach one monitor only to port 1. If this does not work the monitor model may be incompatible and would need changing.
- Once all your monitors are connected you can begin to configure Windows Display / Graphics Card Utility Properties to determine how the processor will function.
Operation
The following instructions are based on an installation of 4 identical 1080p displays. Once your PC has booted up, open the Screen Resolution by right- clicking on your desktop and choosing this option from the popup menu. You will now see two 3840x1080p displays are available, these are made up as follows: Output 1+2 = Display 1, Outputs 3+4 = Display 2. These two Displays can then be configured as Duplicate or Extended Desktops. If you reduce the resolution to 1920x1080p then Windows will show you that there are now 4 Displays connected, these can then be configured to either Duplicate Desktop or Extended Desktop. Duplicate Desktop will show the desktop image on all 4 displays, Extended Desktop will show you your desktop on Displays 1 and 3 plus an extended desktop on Displays 2 and 4. In all of the setups described above the Displays can be moved as normal to fit your requirements.

Europe, United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection
and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no
longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment.
Instead, these products must enter the recycling process. Each individual EU
member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in
slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to
dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained
from your national WEEE recycling agency.
