Complete fl exibility

• Drive up to four pristine quality Full HD displays from a single video signal - of up to 4Kp60 and 8Kx8K - at full
RGB 8:8:8 and YUV 4:4:4 color support.

• Expand to a video wall confi guration of any size by using multiple QuadHead2Go units.

• Create a video wall from any content source, including professional graphics cards and integrated GPUs,
video wall controllers, digital signage players, media players, decoders, laptops, NUCs, set-top boxes, gaming
consoles, and more.

• Design modern and artistic video wall layouts with free rein—each output can have its own resolution, be
independently rotated (90, 180, and 270 degrees), cropped, upscaled, downscaled, and positioned anywhere.

• Fashion countless forms of setups—arrange displays in 4x1, 1x4, 2x2, 3x1, 1x3, 2x1, or 1x2 rectangular
confi gurations, in portrait or landscape, or other non-rectangular/artistic confi gurations—and combine/scale
them to create large-scale, captivating video walls.

Ease of deployment

• Simplify installation with guaranteed out-of-the-box plug and play when using the default confi guration of 2x2 in
landscape—set up without installing software or even connecting a video source.

• Design any custom confi guration/array with the intuitive Matrox PowerWall software.

• Ensure compatibility with professional-grade graphics cards and media players with native DisplayPort
HDMI support.

• Eliminate physical handling by controlling and updating the units remotely from anywhere on the network (LAN).

• Select and set the display layout by cycling through pre-set confi gurations* using an on-device button—there is
no need to install software when using a pre-set confi guration.

• Set up display positions, fi ne-tune bezels, and also troubleshoot with ease, by accessing the built-in or pre-saved
images directly from the appliance, together with display identifi cation information that includes the ID number
and the resolution of each output.
