Matrox TripleHead2Go Technology Powers Unique 42-Display Installation at Club Vanilli

VJ duo engineers 15 TripleHead2Go units directly off three Apple(R) Mac Pro workstations for an astonishing panoramic deployment
MONTREAL, July 29, 2010 - Matrox Graphics, the leading manufacturer of specialised graphics
solutions, today announced that 4youreye has selected Matrox TripleHead2Go
Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXMs) to drive a 42-display installation at Club
Vanilli. Matrox TripleHead2Go external multi-display upgrades allow AV system
integrators to conveniently add up to three monitors per graphics output on a
laptop or desktop computer to drive dynamic, digital content across multiple
monitors.
Club Vanilli has long been considered one of Austria's leading nightclub
establishments, but owner Wolf Dieter Holzhey wanted to upgrade the club's
typical interior layout with a vibrant digital signage platform. Too
ambitious to manage internally, Holzhey outsourced the hardware installation
to KRAFTWERK Living Technologies GmbH, who entrusted VJ duo 4youreye with the
panorama playout integration. 4youreye quickly identified the TripleHead2Go
as the centrepiece for this new project. While Matrox officially supports one
TripleHead2Go under Mac(R) OS X, 4youreye managed to leverage the GXM's
multi-display technology to connect five TripleHead2Go units to a single
Apple(R) Mac Pro workstation. Three workstations were combined to drive a
total of 42 side-by-side displays encircling the entire club. This unique,
panoramic configuration, has given Club Vanilli the market differentiator
they were looking for while providing their patrons with a much more
enjoyable nightclub experience.
"The new club atmosphere is simply outstanding," states Holzhey. "Cool
sounds and an exchanging play of colors deliver the perfect feel-good vibes.
Best of all, we can instantly modify the mood for our customers, quickly
adapting from a romantic light setting to a hard and flashy techno beat."
