Experience Surround Graphics™
Building on the
award-winning DualHead2Go
technology, Matrox is proud to present TripleHead2Go, a palm-sized box
that uniquely allows you to add two or three monitors with a combined resolution of up
to 3840 x 1024 to your workstation, gaming system or laptop, even if that
system only supports a single display output. For example, connecting three 19"
monitors would give your desktop an incredible 45" of total diagonal. The
latest in Matrox's new series of Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXM),
TripleHead2Go delivers
incredible productivity
boosts to office work, Surround Design to workstation
environments for professionals and an immersive
Surround Gaming™
experience to enthusiasts with support for over 200 popular gaming titles.
TripleHead2Go is not a graphics card but an external
box that harnesses your system's existing graphics solution (including
SLI™) for rendering of all 2D, 3D and video, and adds multi-monitor
support. TripleHead2Go appears to your system as an ultra-widescreen
3840x1024* monitor and simply connects to your computer via a standard analog
VGA monitor cable. Using Matrox patent-pending technology, TripleHead2Go
then splits the 3840 x 1024 Microsoft® Windows® desktop into three
separate 1280 x 1024 screens of information, and displays across three
independent 1280 x 1024 monitors. There is no image distortion and no scaling
to the original raw pixels generated from the existing graphics accelerator.
Surround Design
Running 3D and DCC applications fully
accelerated across three screens, known here as Surround Design, provides a
tremendous benefit for 3D visualization and workflow management for cutting
edge workstation users. Supplying maximum screen real estate,
TripleHead2Go offers a significant productivity boost enabling support
for an ultra-wide TripleHead™ windows desktop for use with professional
applications. TripleHead2Go uniquely allows you to upgrade existing
certified, mission-critical workstations to TripleHead displays for Surround
Design without opening the PC tower case or installing a new graphics solution.
Workstations based on a single graphics card or even workstation-class laptops
can achieve three screen output. Find out more.
Office Productivity
Business professionals and home office users alike reap the benefits of multi-display to be more productive. They incorporate simple tools such as TripleHead2Go because the impact on productivity has proven to be significant when adding additional displays to a workspace. Multi-display set-ups allow users to access key information instantly, organize data more efficiently and benefit from simplified management of multiple documents or applications. And TripleHead2Go is so flexible it also runs in DualHead mode: if you aren't ready to use three displays, start by connecting only two additional displays and then add a third display at a later date. Simplify your evaluation process by qualifying only one solution for both dual and triple display set-ups. With TripleHead2Go you can see more, do more and be more productive.
Surround Gaming
Three screens enable a totally immersive
Surround Gaming experience, allowing you to see the gaming environment as if
you were looking through an extra wide-angle camera lens; it just makes your
games more fun. Matrox TripleHead2Go is the only solution on the market
to enable Surround Gaming by expanding supported 3D games across three displays
and providing a much wider in-game field of view (FOV). Bridging the gap
between virtual reality and reality, this panoramic view of the game fully
engages your peripheral vision on the side displays, with the main point of
focus on the center display. TripleHead2Go supports over 200 popular
games including Raven Software and id Software's Quake 4™, UbiSoft's Brother's in Arms:
Earned in Blood™, Microsoft's Age of Empires III™, 10tacle studios
AG's GTR™, Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight and many
more, and is compatible with many high end gaming GPU solutions including SLI.
