Matrox Announces DualHead2Go Upgrage
Matrox Graphics unveiled the new Matrox DualHead2Go, the external upgrade capable of adding multiple monitor support to compatible laptop and desktop PCs.
DualHead2Go is a palm-sized box that connects to the existing single monitor output (i.e. external VGA output) of a computer and appears to the system as a single ultra-widescreen monitor with native support for resolutions up to 2560x1024. Using Matrox patent-pending technology, DualHead2Go splits the 2560x1024 Windows desktop into a right and left half, each of which is then sent to two separate analog monitors.
DualHead2Go harnesses the capabilities of the system’s existing GPU or integrated graphics for acceleration of all 2D, 3D and video rendering. There is no image distortion and no scaling to the original raw pixels generated from the existing graphics accelerator. By using DualHead2Go in conjunction with the built-in display of a laptop, users can benefit with up to three displays of independent information at a time.
DualHead2Go is bundled with Matrox PowerDesk SE; a suite of window management software offering users a wide range of operational modes, utilities and display configurations.
DualHead2Go is compatible with a wide range of laptop models. Desktop PC support for DualHead2Go is limited to certain PCs based on integrated graphics. A complete list of compatible systems is posted on the Matrox website and will be regularly updated to reflect new system support. Additionally, a free DualHead2Go online compatibility utility is available allowing users to pre-validate that their system is compatible with DualHead2Go prior to purchase. Visit www.matrox.com/graphics/dualhead2go for complete details.
Available in mid-November 2005, DualHead2Go – Dual Analog Edition, has a suggested retail price of $169USD. This product will be available from authorized resellers worldwide or, in North America and Europe, directly from Matrox at http://shopmatrox.com.
