product  
If you want to further expand your desktop, you can connect a second TripleHead2Go product to  
your graphics hardware to support up to six monitors at a time.  
Note: The following provides a brief overview of how to connect a second TripleHead2Go  
product to your graphics hardware. For more detailed information, see the “Step-by-step  
connection setup” for your product.  
Before you begin  
Only two Matrox TripleHead2Go products at a time can be connected to your computer.  
Connecting two Matrox TripleHead2Go products at a time requires an external power  
supply. To purchase a Matrox power adapter kit for GXM, see the Matrox online store  
To connect a second TripleHead2Go product, you must have a dual-monitor graphics  
card or a second graphics card installed in your system. You can connect a second  
TripleHead2Go either to another connector on your graphics card or to a connector on  
a second graphics card installed in your system.  
Support for multiple TripleHead2Go products is limited to desktop computers.  
You can only use two TripleHead2Go products from the same series (for example, you  
can use two TripleHead2Go DP Edition products, but you can’t use a TripleHead2Go  
Digital Edition product and a TripleHead2Go DP Edition product).

Avertissement sur l’épilepsie  
À lire avant toute utilisation d’un jeu vidéo par vous-même ou votre enfant Certaines personnes sont  
susceptibles de faire des crises d’épilepsie ou d’avoir des pertes de conscience à la vue de certains types de lumières  
clignotantes ou d’éléments fréquents dans notre environnement quotidien. Ces personnes s’exposent à des crises  
lorsqu’elles regardent certaines images télévisées ou qu’elles jouent à certains jeux vidéo. Ces phénomènes peuvent  
apparaître alors même que le sujet n’a pas d’antécédent médical ou n’a jamais été confronté à une crise d’épilepsie.  
Si vous-même ou un membre de votre famille avez déjà présenté des symptômes liés à l’épilepsie (crise ou perte de  
conscience) en présence de stimulations lumineuses, veuillez consulter votre médecin avant toute utilisation.  
Nous conseillons aux parents d’être attentifs à leurs enfants lorsqu’ils jouent avec des jeux vidéo. Si vous-même ou votre  
enfant présentez un des symptômes suivants: vertige, trouble de la vision, contraction des yeux ou des muscles, perte  
de conscience, trouble de l’orientation, mouvement involontaire ou convulsion, veuillez immédiatement cesser de jouer  
et consultez un médecin.  
Précautions à prendre dans tous les cas pour l’utilisation d’un jeu vidéo Ne vous tenez pas trop près de l’écran.  
• Jouez à bonne distance de l’écran de TV et aussi loin que le permet le cordon de raccordement. • Utilisez de  
préférence les jeux de vidéo sur un écran de petite taille. • Évitez de jouer si vous êtes fatigué ou si vous manquez de  
sommeil. • Assurez-vous que vous jouez dans une pièce bien éclairée. • En cours d’utilisation, faites des pauses de dix  
à quinze minutes toutes les heures.
