TripleHead2Go questions

Hello, i have some doubts about this product...

Can I use the TripleHead2Go, only with 2 monitors? like having 2048x768 instead of 3072x768... i want to use the triple monitor set up, but sometimes I need to use an LCD and i'll need to remove it...

Can I play videos on all 3 LCD at the same time? like watching a dvd streched on all LCD's but divided in 3 pieces, one on each monitor.

sorry for any errors... english is not my first language -_-'

thanks in advance...

Yes you can use only two screens at a lower resolution. And yes you can play three videos one on each screen but not in full screen because the software thinks each screen is part of one very larg one. Perhaps there is a way to fix that but I don't know about it. Also you will need a good computer to display three video feeds simlutaniusly (depending on the resolution).

mmm thanks for the answer, but I want to see 1 video on all 3 screens, but streched (for example a 2.35:1 dvd), not 3 videos one on each screen... like a dvd maximized on all 3 monitors...

someone had try?

thanks in advance

Yes, you can watch video stretched across all three monitors. However, if you don't keep the aspect ratio, the image will also be stretched in full screen mode.

DVDs like that are avaible? Cool. I know that movies were produced in ultra wide format but I didn't know that they were avaible. Link?

yes they are available... they just come with black bands like if you watch a 16:9 dvd in a 4:3 monitor/TV.

With a single card with 2 ouputs yes it would work, with cards in sli, no it disables all but one output. I think the ouput for the TH2G needs to be dual-link though, on the digital edition anyways.
