The DISPLAX TILE is fully compatible with external video wall processors, including the Matrox QuadHead2Go.
The QuadHead2Go is designed to split a single video source into four independent displays, making it ideal for digital signage, control rooms, and large immersive canvases.
Before setting up your video wall, it is important to understand the capabilities and limitations of the Matrox processor when used with DISPLAX TILEs:
| Feature | Specification / Detail |
| Max Resolution & Refresh | Supports up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. |
| Connectivity Options | DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI. |
| Synchronization | Includes EDID management and frame lock for seamless syncing across all displays. |
| Daisy-Chaining | Not Supported. Each QuadHead2Go unit must be connected directly to the PC. You cannot daisy-chain the video signal between multiple QuadHead2Go devices. |
Below is the step-by-step hardware configuration for a standard 4-column by 1-row (4x1) video wall.
Hardware Used in this Example:
1x Standard Industrial PC
1x Matrox D-1480 (Graphics Card)
1x Matrox QuadHead2Go (Video Wall Processor)
4x DISPLAX TILE units
Connect the Matrox QuadHead2Go to your computer. The QuadHead2Go has a single input port (the specific connector type depends on your exact Matrox model). Connect this input directly to the output port of your PC's graphics card (e.g., the Matrox D-1480). Ensure the QuadHead2Go is powered on and detected by the OS.
Connect each of the four DISPLAX TILEs to the four output ports on the Matrox QuadHead2Go using certified HDMI or DisplayPort cables.
If using HDMI: Connect to the single HDMI input on the TILE.
If using DisplayPort: The TILE features both an IN and an OUT port. You must connect the cable from the QuadHead2Go into the DisplayPort IN port on the TILE.
The QuadHead2Go requires network access for configuration. Connect the processor to your local network using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. Ensure it is connected to the exact same network or sub-network as your PC.
Once all physical TILEs are powered on and connected, the hardware setup is complete. To arrange the displays into your 4x1 layout, you must download and open the Matrox PowerWall software on your PC to finalize the matrix configuration.
