Business productivity with DualHead2Go

Working with more than one monitor allows you to see more, do more, and be more productive. Use the extra screen space to spread applications across your desktop, much like you would spread printed documents across your desk.

  • Fit more data on your desktop
  • Organize your applications and information as you wish
  • Easily multi-task without the need to toggle between applications
  • Compare documents side-by-side

Drive two HD displays from a single player PC to create digital signage canvases of up to 4 million pixels. Unique in its ability to support two 1920x1080 monitors, the Matrox DualHead2Go supports a variety of widescreen resolutions for the display of high-quality, uncompressed digital content across multiple monitors.

And if two displays aren’t enough? Connect multiple DualHead2Go units to create all sorts of cost-effective, versatile HD display configurations. DualHead2Go units can be used to improve and simplify digital signage applications such as digital menu boards, shopping mall kiosks, and ambience-enhancing installations—to name a few.
