Matrox QuadHead2Go Q185 Multi-Monitor Controller Card

Fast. Easy. High-Density Video Walls.
Capable of driving four displays from one signal, the Matrox® QuadHead2Go™ Q185 multi-monitor controller card provides complete video wall scalability and flexibility. The Matrox® QuadHead2Go™ Q185 multi-monitor controller card is a single-slotPCIe® card is designed to power any video wall configuration of any possible dimension, from any DisplayPort video source—no adapter required. Delivering flawless image quality across expansive video wall displays, QuadHead2Go™ Q185 is ideal for control rooms.

Ready to deploy. Right out of the box.

• Set up without installing software or even connecting a video source, by using the default configuration of 2x2 in landscape.
• Reduce setup time by using QuadHead2Go’s pre-set configurations and built-in images, together with display identification information that includes the ID number and the resolution of each output.
• Eliminate physical handling by controlling and updating the cards remotely from anywhere on the network (LAN).
• Ensure compatibility with professional-grade graphics cards with Mini DisplayPort™ 1.2 support—no adapter required.
• Create a video wall from any content source—professional graphics cards and integrated GPUs, video wall controllers, digital signage players, media players, decoders, laptops, NUCs, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and more.

Build your wall with the touch of a button
On-device buttons make it easy to select and set the display layout—simply cycle through pre-set configurations. Set up display positions, fine tune bezels, and also 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.

Smallest footprint. Highest density.
Drive up to four Full HD displays from a single video signal from a single PCIe® card. A native network jack on the card eliminates reliance on the host computers’ network. PC independence means there’s no need for a driver and no system bus data transfer is required or executed—only power is taken from the host system’s PCIe bus. QuadHead2Go cards can be placed into available slots in existing systems without compromising system integrity and stability, and make minimal power consumption demands of the PC system.

Scale your video wall. Easily and infinitely.

Rotate and position outputs independently from one another
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.
