Business Productivity
| 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. For specialized applications, such as financial services or day trading programs, viewing data across multiple monitors provides the ability to see critical information at all times for quick decision making and streamlined workflow. |
|
Digital Signage
| Drive two displays from a single player PC to create digital signage canvases of close to 3 million pixels. Unique in its ability to support two 1280x1024 monitors, the Matrox DualHead2Head2Go 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 two DualHead2Go units to create a cost-effective, quad-screen setup. DualHead2Go units can be used to improve and simplify digital signage applications such as digital menu boards, terminal and concourse information displays, shopping mall kiosks, and ambience-enhancing installations—to name a few. |
Media Creation & DCC
| As an artist or digital content creator, you need multiple palettes, menus, bins, controls, and toolbars in your applications. Spread out your projects, work more comfortably, and increase your productivity with a Matrox DualHead2Go-powered multi-monitor setup. The extra screen space will allow you to view more layers of video on the timeline, increase the size of your video scopes and frame viewers, as well as customize your entire workspace to improve your workflow. |
|
CAD Design & GIS
| Take advantage of increased desktop space when using CAD software. Work on your design drafts, architectural models, or plans across multiple monitors. Expand your perspective and arrange application windows so you can complete your work more quickly and efficiently. Add two monitors to your notebook computer for a full surround 3D design experience. |
