Matrox brings TripleHead™ to
workstation and gaming systems
New
TripleHead2Go external box adds three screens to desktops and
laptops
 Montreal, Canada, March 2nd, 2006 - Matrox
Graphics, Inc., the leading manufacturer of graphics solutions for
professionals, today unveiled the new TripleHead2Go, a palm-sized box which
uniquely allows a user to add three 19" monitors with a combined resolution of
up to 3840x1024 and an incredible 45" of total diagonal to many workstations,
gaming systems and laptops- even if those systems only support a single display
output.
"Running 3D and animation applications fully accelerated across
three screens provides a tremendous productivity benefit for many workstation
users", says Dan Wood, VP Technical Marketing, Matrox Graphics Inc. "For
gamers, three screens enables an immersive experience by engaging a players
peripheral vision and allowing them to see the gaming environment as if they
were looking through an extra wide-angle camera lens; it just makes games more
fun."
Building on the momentum of the award winning DualHead2Go, with
TripleHead2Go, Matrox has introduced an innovative new category of
patent-pending hardware products to the market called Graphics eXpansion
Modules (GXMs). GXMs are not graphics accelerators; rather they are external
boxes that connect to a computer using a standard analog VGA monitor cable. The
system's existing graphics chip is used for rendering of all 2D, 3D and video
and the GXM works to add multi-monitor support to this.
 TripleHead2Go uniquely
allows customers in areas including Mechanical CAD, Visualization, Digital
Content Creation and Animation to upgrade existing certified, mission-critical
workstations to TripleHead™ displays to enable a Surround Design™
experience without opening the PC tower case or installing a new graphics
solution. TripleHead2Go supports Microsoft® Windows® desktop at up to
3840x1024 resolution across three displays with full acceleration on all
displays.
 Matrox TripleHead2Go enables
Surround Gaming™ by expanding supported 3D games across three displays. At
launch, TripleHead2Go will have support for more than 150 popular games
including 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. Matrox will regularly add more titles to a supported gaming list at
www.matrox.com/graphics/TripleHead2Go.
TripleHead2Go supports gaming at 3840x1024, 3072x768 and 2400x600 and 1920x480
resolutions. Frame rates will vary with resolution and will depend on the GPU
in the system.
System Compatibility

includes support for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP, and
is compatible with many professional and enthusiast class desktop and laptop
PCs equipped with certain NVIDIA® and ATI® enabled graphics chipsets
