Introduction
- Matrox's answer to this dilemma is the DualHead2Go, an 'External Multi-Display Upgrade for Laptop and PC'. The DualHead2Go is targeted at laptops and older desktop systems that only have a single.
- Matrox products supported: DualHead2Go Digital Edition, DualHead2Go Digital SE, DualHead2Go DP Edition, TripleHead2Go Digital Edition, TripleHead2Go Digital SE, TripleHead2Go DP Edition: Notes: PowerDesk software suite for Windows. Added support for Windows 10.
- Hello, We have just set up foldback. We are using a laptop with a nVidia graphics card using the Dualhead2go via a mini display port output. I have set up the Matrox per the directions on this site. When I run a PowerPoint presentation through EW, the laptop screen resolution changes to 640 x 480 and only part of the show goes to FOH.
- Matrox made some waves with their GXM (Graphics eXpansion Modules) when they where first released, starting with the DualHead2Go. This module enabled dual monitor use with a single output. Their newest addition is the DualHead2Go Digital, which uses DVI as output method to allow higher resolutions. We try the device in Windows XP and Mac OS X using two 19 inch DVI based LCD montors.

[v6 General Discussion] Matrox Dualhead2go and Powerpoint with foldback
Forums Migration
Hello,
We have just set up foldback. We are using a laptop with a nVidia graphics card using the Dualhead2go via a mini display port output. I have set up the Matrox per the directions on this site. When I run a PowerPoint presentation through EW, the laptop screen resolution changes to 640 x 480 and only part of the show goes to FOH. The PP presentation is set to output to an automatic monitor and is set to widescreen output.
Beside Powerpoint, EW and the foldback work flawlessly. The only other thing I see that is odd is that the main output won't stay on secondary monitor as per the instructions. When I change the width to half the displayed size in the instructions, the output changes to custom position. HELP!!

Matrox Dualhead2go Software For Mac
Hi!
I think that you have the PowerPoint set to use a specific resolution instead of the option to use current resolution. Open the PowerPoint program and click on SLIDE SHOW//SET UP SLIDE SHOW and make sure that it is set to use current resolution.
On the other question it is normal to say custom position because that is what you are doing. You are setting a custom position.

I checked this setting, and it is set to current resolution. If I unplug the Dualhead2go and replug it, it works correctly, but I have to do this each time I start a slideshow. Any ideas?

Also, it doesn't matter if I have the monitor set to Automatic or Matrox Dualhead2go in the slideshow setup. The Current Resolution is set in both.
When I start the show in EW, the 2nd monitor is forced to 640x480 resolution. If I unplug the Matrox and then replug it, it returns to the default (and recommended) 2048x768 and displays correctly.

Hi!
You might check the PowerPoint by right clicking on the PowerPoint icon and then click on the Compatibility tab and make sure that it is not set to run in a lower resolution and you can also check the same thing on the EasyWorship icon.

We have tried all these options with no effect. Anyone have ideas? It is getting tiresome unplugging the Matrix Dualhead2go each time?

Are all of the slideshows saved with the screen resolution set to 640x480? Does this happen if you the PowerPoint slideshow outside of EasyWorship?
