MATROX BRINGS UNIQUE TRIPLEHEAD SUPPORT TO LEADING WORKSTATIONS & LAPTOPS WITH BREAKTHROUGH NEW PRODUCT
TripleHead2Go appears to the system as an ultra-widescreen monitor and simply connects to a computer using a standard analog VGA monitor cable. Using Matrox patent-pending technology, TripleHead2Go then splits the Microsoft Windows desktop into three separate 1280 x 1024 screens of information, and displays across three independent monitors. "The flexibility afforded by a Digital Content Creation application and the inherently large amount of user interface needed to expose it, demands a correspondingly large amount of screen real estate." says Caroline Injoyan, product manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "Matrox TripleHead2Go's Surround Design feature and TripleHead output configuration, effectively meet these needs." Building on the momentum of Matrox's 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 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 in conjunction to add multi-monitor support. TripleHead2Go uniquely allows Digital Content Creators, to upgrade existing workstations to TripleHead displays to enable a Surround Design experience. With Matrox Surround Design, multiple views of a design can be examined concurrently; more windows space is available for toolbars and important information that needs to be accessed quickly. DCC applications such as Autodesk 3ds max, Autodesk Maya and Newtek LightWave 3D allows users to work with several windows and viewports, which often must be viewed simultaneously. The triple-desktop Surround Design feature allows the artist to place all these UI elements (viewports, image windows, toolbars and dialogs) in ways that best enable their own workflows, allowing them to exercise their creativity, rather than worrying about the limitations of their workspace.
