Maxdata DUALHEAD2GO DATASHEET

Office and Home

Turn your laptop or PC into a productivity powerhouse

Matrox, the recognized industry leader in multi-display technology solutions brings DualHead capability to

the laptop and value PC markets for the first time. The revolutionary new Matrox DualHead2Go upgrade

box is not a graphics card. Rather it is a palm-sized box that sits outside of your system. DualHead2Go

takes the existing single monitor display output (i.e. external VGA output) from your system and expands it

into dual display outputs allowing you to run your Windows desktop at up to 2560 x 1024 resolution

stretched across two displays. You can surf the Internet on one display and write email on the second,

or view photo albums and zoomed photos at the same time. The included Matrox PowerDesk software

seamlessly manages window positioning and message pop-up.

With DualHead2Go, you no longer have to sacrifice productivity when using your laptop. DualHead2Go

turns even the most ultra-portable laptop into a full PC replacement. Capitalizing on patent-pending

technology, DualHead2Go harnesses the native graphics hardware already present in your system for all

2D, 3D and video drawing. The more powerful your existing graphics, the more powerful your DualHead2Go

multi-display environment. Matrox DualHead2Go is an affordable, highly portable, easy-to-use solution

perfect for the office, mobile workstation, home or on the go.

• Upgrade your laptop or desktop computer to dual external displays
