Matrox extends DualHead2Go line of external multi-display adapters

Matrox has updated its line of DualHead2Go external multi-display adapters with the simultaneous release of the DualHead2Go Digital SE and DualHead2Go Digital ME (Mac Edition). While both the SE and ME let users connect up to two monitors, the SE model features multi-GXM (Graphics eXpansion Module) support that allows two adapters to be connected to a single system to provide a total of up to four displays.

Both the ME and SE share the same palm-sized form-factor, albeit with a different finish – black for the SE and, you guessed it, brushed aluminum for the ME. While the SE connects to a system’s DisplayPort video output, the ME connects via a computer’s Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port. But that - and the ability to connect two SE's together to provide four external displays - is pretty much where the differences end.

Both units feature a DisplayPort input and two DVI-D outputs, along with a powered USB port to supply power for the device – although Matrox also sells a power adapter kit if there’s no powered USB available on your system. Both models output a maximum resolution of 3840x1200 across two displays – that’s 1920x1200 for each.

While the DualHead2Go Digital ME is aimed at Mac users and the SE targets PC users, both units are compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and Server 2003/08, Mac OS X 10.4 and above, and Linux. Both versions also come with Mac or PC compatible Matrox PowerDesk desktop management software for configuring multi-display setups.

They also share the same US$179 price tag and come with a USB cable and the required cable to connect the device to a system - DisplayPort to DisplayPort for the SE and Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort for the ME. However, you'll have to source your own cables to connect the device to the external monitors..

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh...

How Lasers Can Preserve History

C leopatra’s Needle is an ancient Egyptian obelisk , but right now it looks like a construction project. Scaffolding snakes up the 69-foot spire as conservancy crews clear away 3500 years of soot and grime. Originally built in honor of Pharaoh Thutmose III, the obelisk has black streaks that mark its time spent buried near the Nile, its travel across the Atlantic, and near 130 years facing the pollution-filled elements in New York City. Now it’s getting a long overdue cleaning—using high-powered lasers. The Central Park Conservancy, the organization tasked with the upkeep of all monuments and works of art in Central Park, has had the needle’s cleaning on its to-do list since 2011. The Conservancy and personnel at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s photo studio began documenting the obelisk and assessing exactly what the monument needed. Soon conservators came in to test different types of cleaning techniques. “The typical ways of cleaning are using chemicals or micro-ab...

If Tears Had Color

This is something that recently crossed my mind. If the reason we are crying would be connected to the color of our tears – what would it be? We all cry and not just for one reason, so how would it be if we could know the reason someone’s crying by the color of the tears? There is also a symbolic description of what each and every color presents, and it is proved that colors have influence of peoples feelings and emotions. There was an experiment on this – they put a man into the room with red walls (and everything else inside was red) and after a while when they let him out, he became noticeably more aggressive than he was before. And what do you think, why the hospital’s and other medical institution’s walls are green? It is said that the olive green color represents peace, which is especially needed in hospitals where everyone is sick and in panic for his/her own life and health. So, let’s go back to the subject, we know that our emotions as well as our tears are ...
