Matrox Graphics (http://www.matrox.com), a manufacturer of
specialized graphics solutions, has announced multiple DualHead2Go
and TripleHead2Go Graphics eXpansion Module (GXM) support to drive up
to four or six monitors, respectively, from a single system.
A second GXM can now be connected to the secondary output of a
supported dual monitor graphics card so two DualHead2Go GXMs can
power up to four outputs in 2×2 or 4×1 modes, while two TripleHead2Go
units can be combined to connect six displays to produce either a 3×2
or 6×1 set up. Pricing ranges from US$169 to $329.
“Multi-GXM support offers a tremendous amount of flexibility by
simply having to connect the GXMs externally to your system or
workstation,” says Ron Berty, business development manager, Matrox
Graphics. “Business professionals for example, can now conveniently
upgrade to a four- or six-monitor workspace to run additional
applications for real-time viewing. Additionally, AV specialists can
effortlessly build six-screen presentation or digital signage
platforms to drive dynamic, digital messaging while benefiting from
the natural synchronization of the screens being driven by a single
GPU.
Matrox currently offers multi-GXM support with the 2.06 (or above)
GXM software suite. A maximum of two GXMs — of the same make and
model — can be connected to a supported graphics card with two
available outputs of the required type. Multi-GXM stretched desktop
mode is available with Matrox M-Series cards, while independent
desktop support is available with supported M-Series, ATI, and Nvidia
graphics cards.
