##### Connecting with two cables (HDMI)

1. Establish a video connection by connecting an HDMI cable between the Bifrost and the Target Device.
2. Establish keyboard and mouse connectivity by connecting a USB cable between the Bifrost and the Target Device. (This step can be skipped if you only want to provide viewing capabilities to the remote specialist)
