14 DAY TRIAL // The Matrox DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go connectivity solutions, enabling the addition of multiple displays to a single computer, are not exactly very new, but since they seem to be quite popular with Mac users, Matrox has decided to launch two special editions targeting specifically Apple systems.
The Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition and TripleHead2Go DP Edition Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXMs) now come packaged with a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable that allows Mac users to connect these external multi-monitor modules directly to the mini-DisplayPort output of their systems to swiftly drive multiple monitors or projectors.
In addition, an upcoming firmware release will enable the support of a dual 1600x900 resolution on DVI monitors, further expanding the list of supported resolutions for greater flexibility when choosing displays.
The Matrox DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go GXMs work in conjunction with the system's existing GPU to provide high-quality, uncompressed graphics and video across maximum resolutions of dual 1920x1200 and triple 1360x768 under Mac.
With the additional desktop display area, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro users can comfortably run different applications on each monitor or view one application across multiple displays.
"A growing number of Mac users are choosing the Matrox DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go as their multi-display technology of choice, and we've responded by delivering our most Mac-friendly solutions to date," states Caroline Injoyan, Business Development Manager, Matrox Graphics, Inc.
"By including the Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable in the newest GXM versions, we're providing the ultimate out-of-box experience so the only thing users need to worry about is how best to enjoy their expansive onscreen desktop space," the company's rep added.
The Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition and TripleHead2Go DP Edition for Mac are now available at a MSRP of US $239 and US $329 respectively, which are not exactly very high price points, especially if we take into account the enhancements they provide for Mac users.
