• HDCP compliant
• Ease of deployment
• Custom Control

Scalable. Flexible. Easy-to-Deploy Video Walls.

Matrox® QuadHead2Go™ multi-monitor controllers make building dynamic, next- generation video walls of any type and size simple. Available in both appliance and single-slot PCIe® card forms, each QuadHead2Go unit can drive a single DisplayPort™ or HDMI® video source across up to four displays, in classic rectangular or artistic configurations. Multiple QuadHead2Go appliances or cards can be used together to easily scale up to a video wall of any possible dimension and complexity.

The included Matrox PowerWall™ software meanwhile offers an intuitive and feature-rich interface to effortlessly customize configurations and control the display outputs independently, in either offline or online mode. The Matrox QuadHead2Go REST API is also available for integrators and developers looking to create custom functions and applications.

Complete flexibility

• 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.
• 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 4×1, 1×4, 2×2, 3×1, 1×3, 2×1, or 1×2 rectangular configurations, in portrait or landscape, or other non-rectangular/artistic configurations—and combine/scale them to create large-scale video walls.

HDCP compliant

• Capture and display HDCP-protected content with QuadHead2Go multi-monitor controllers.

Proven video wall ecosystem

• Drive up to 64 1920x1080p60 displays by pairing multiple QuadHead2Go controllers with Matrox D-Series graphics cards.
• Create artistic video walls by pairing QuadHead2Go controllers with D-Series graphics cards.

Ease of deployment

• Simplify installation with guaranteed out-of-the-box plug-and-play when using the default configuration of 2×2 in the landscape—set up without installing software or even connecting a video source.
• Design any custom configuration/array with the intuitive Matrox PowerWall software.
• Ensure compatibility with professional-grade graphics cards and media players with native DisplayPort™ 1.2 or HDMI® support.
• Eliminate physical handling by controlling and updating the units remotely from anywhere on the network (LAN).
• Use the on-device buttons to select and set the display layout by cycling through pre-set configurations*—there is no need to install software when using a pre-set configuration.
• Set up display positions, fine-tune bezels, and troubleshoot with ease, by accessing the built-in or pre-saved images directly from the appliance, together with display identification information that includes the ID number and the resolution of each output.

As easy as 1-2-3

1. Connect using DP 1.2 or HDMI input and 4 HDMI outputs
2. Configure using on-device buttons or the Matrox PowerWall software
3. Deploy
