Quick Setup
Helps you quickly set up, check the connections, and change the display settings of your Matrox
DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go product.
Connection setup
Provides information on the connection status of your Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go
product.
To check your connection setup, click
Detect
. You
can view your setup in the
Preview
area. If a monitor
isn’t detected (for example, if your monitor wasn’t
properly connected), that monitor will be identified
with a question mark.
To fix this, follow the instructions provided in the
Connection Setup
section.
Display Settings
Use this option to quickly change your current display setting or to choose a new one.
To use multiple displays, you need to choose a stretched mode resolution. In stretched mode, your
desktop spans across all your monitors to increase your screen real estate. For example, if you choose
2 * 800×600 60 Hz
, you’ll be using two displays ( DualHead ), each with a resolution of 800 × 600 and
a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
