Multiple GXM support drives even more displays

Matrox Graphics 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 2x2 or 4x1 modes, while two Triplehead2Go units can be combined to connect six displays to produce either a 3x2 or 6x1 set up.

Ron Berty, business-development manager at Matrox Graphics, said: 'Multi-GXM support offers a tremendous amount of flexibility by simply having to connect the GXMs externally to your system or workstation.

'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 synchronisation of the screens being driven by a single GPU,' he finished.

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.
