• 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.
• 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.

Compact design fits anywhere
Fit three QuadHead2Go appliances horizontally or ten appliances vertically—in a standard 19-inch rack. Simply place the appliance on the desktop, workstation, or rack, and it’s ready to use. Need to mount your QuadHead2Go appliance to your monitor instead? Conveniently mount it to your display with the available VESA bracket.

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.

Create or expand large-scale video wall solutions
Expand to a video wall configuration of any size by using multiple QuadHead2Go appliances. Fashion countless forms of setups—arrange displays in 4x1, 1x4, 2x2, 3x1, 1x3, 2x1, or 1x2 rectangular configurations, in portrait or landscape, or other non-rectangular/artistic configurations—and combine/scale them to create large-scale video walls.

Proven video wall ecosystem
Drive up to 64 1920x1080p60 displays and create captivating video walls by pairing QuadHead2Go multi-monitor controllers with Matrox LUMA or Matrox D-Series graphics cards.

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

Complete your setup
From cables and adapters to shelves and brackets, Matrox provides a range of hardware accessories that make connecting, installing, and securing your Matrox product quick and easy.

Always powered. Always on.
Safeguard against a potential loss of power. Matrox makes available rack-mounted, multi-output redundant power supply units (RPSU) to ensure uninterrupted operation of your Matrox device in case of a power module failure and a redundant power input in case a circuit breaker trips.

Designed to simplify large video wall installations
Install and use PowerWall software in offline mode to customize configurations of any type and size, and control the outputs independently—even before establishing an active connection to QuadHead2Go. Set the display layout by simply selecting any of the pre-set configurations from the PowerWall interface.

Build custom applications
For OEMs and system integrators seeking to customize applications ranging from single-function operation to thorough integration, the complimentary Matrox QuadHead2Go REST API is available upon request. Further customize the appearance of your Matrox product—with new company naming, images, logos, colors, buttons, and identity—for greater ease of use and complete white label branding of Matrox hardware and software.
