I did not find any good information about Matrox TripleHead2Go Mac compability on the web .

I understand you Richard used it on PowerMac / Macpro , but does that work on Mac mini ? MacBook ? MacBook Pro ? iMac g5 ? iMac intel ?

Can you clarify this in this thread ? So it will be easy for every one to understand where , when , what .

Thanks .

it works on all of them. as far as i have tested. - dependant on the maximum size of screen the graphics card will support.

if you havent got one - you should buy one for yourself- so you know what it does - and what its limits are.

but which ones exactly....

i didnt do exhaustive testing at all resolutions....

as this is hardware - you really have to buy and test for yourself.

http://www.sinapsi.us/forum/images/upo/emoticon-0120-worried.gif Well ... the point here is that I did already bought 2 of them , I saw that working good using dualhead2go , on mac mini , I saw it at plasa in the Projecedimage booth . So I'll try it as soon this two triplehead will arive .

I can do test on Macbook / Macmini g4 / Macmini intel 1.66 /

my idea it's to work on 2400 x 800 x 2 triplehead one for each Macbook .

Well if I have anygood I'll report in here

Thanks

you have to test for your application.

see whether it works on the hardware you are using.

and whether it gives the performance you need.

i cannot answer these questions for you.

Works on Minimac, powerbook and Macbook, I have one here and tested it.
Somehow I have the feeling there is a slight latency in the outputs, I have not tested it on a faster card .

i doubt whether there is much latency - there isnt enough electronics in there to do much processing.

latency would mean the boxes did something clever - like frame buffering...

this is an analogue vga box that will just split up the raster timing into 3 portions and reclock.
