New graphics cards and expansion modules


Matrox has
launched a couple of new graphics cards and a couple of graphics expansion modules with DisplayPort support. This is the first time we see DisplayPort on Matrox gear, and professional users will probably be very pleased to hear the news.

The new Matrox M9138 and Matrox M9148 DisplayPort graphics cards pack 1GB of memory and offer triple or quad monitor support, with resolutions of up to 2560x1600 per output. Of course, you can still use DVI monitors in case you've got some old stuff laying around your studio. Both cards are passively cooled.

The company has also launched the Matrox DualHead2Go DisplayPort Edition and TripleHead2Go DisplayPort Edition Graphics eXpansion Modules. The new modules support DisplayPort and two or three monitor configurations with support for up to three displays at 1680x1050. Although they can practically turn your notebook into a workstation, we just don't think 1680x1050 is enough in this niche market. Of course, if you're editing 720p or PAL, it's good enough, but most people demand full HD nowadays.
