In this configuration, using an external splitter or DA (Distribution Amplifier), Quadra automatically crops each identical input into its proper “quadrant” using the WALL command. Refer to the “Creating a 2x2 Monitor Wall” section for instructions.

This chapter provides detailed operating procedures for many of Quadra’s most frequently used functions. Please note the following recommendations:

Each procedure assumes that your system is properly connected, configured, and that a “control” method has been established between your PC (or controlling device) and Quadra. In Chapter 2, refer to the “System Control Setup” section for instructions.

Ensure that you have a variety of input sources from which to choose. This will allow you to learn Quadra’s capabilities to the fullest extend.

Ensure that you have either an electronic or printed copy of Chapter 4, Command Line Interface” handy for reference.

Each procedure recommends that you use Quadra’s “Help” command to display the available variables, and also recommends that you “query” the current state of the command prior to entering new parameters. These are good Quadra habits to develop.

For reference, each procedure includes a hyperlink to the command’s description in Chapter 4.

Note that the “short forms” of all commands are used in this chapter, as displayed by the Capital Letters in each command name. For example, instead of typing OutPutENable, simply type OPEN.

The Quadra output should be set to match the characteristics of your display device. This can be accomplished loading the values manually from entries stored in the Factory Timing List.”, or automatically using information provided electronically from your display (EDID). The latter is supported only for display devices connected to the digital (DVI) output, and only for display devices that support EDID.

This section provides instructions for using the “OutPutREFerence” and OutPutTiMingLOAD commands.

The OutPutREFerence command is used to select between the manual and automatic modes for setting the output timing parameters.

Use the following steps to set the output reference setting to automatically load output parameters:

1.Ensure that the display(s) that you want to set up are connected to selected Quadra outputs.
