SimHQ.com - Technology Zone - Preview: Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition

These are the same four modes that are offered in the Analogue TripleHead2Go. However, PowerDesk SE offers a choice of 36 different modes that can be loaded to the Digital TripleHead2Go. Any four of these can be stored in the device at a given time and will be available for use in Windows and in sims. The full mode list is as follows:

Any single-screen resolution is supported up to 1600x1200. At release the Digital TripleHead2Go displayed a single-screen resolution in the left monitor. Of course this image should be on the center monitor so you don’t have to sit at your computer turning your head to the left quite a bit. Rightful outcry from the triplehead community quickly got Matrox to release updated firmware that remedied this problem. Why it ever existed I can only guess, but at least it was taken care of. Should you need updated firmware, contact Matrox technical support.
