Expand Your View

Break though traditional desktop workspace limitations with the Vid-2X. Sapphire’s Vid-2X is a neat little device that allows two monitors to be connected to a single DisplayPort or Dual-Link DVI output. Several Vid-2X external graphics adapters can be used to create advanced multiple monitor configurations.

Dual Monitors on Laptops and Desktops

Multiple monitor capabilities are now standard on all modern desktop systems but what about hardware already deployed or mobile users with laptops and netbooks? In corporate environments desktops may be under lease preventing any internal modifications or upgrades. The Vid-2X is an ideal alternative to docking stations for adding an additional monitor to laptops.

Addictive

“Give someone a second monitor, let them use if for a while, and then try to take it away.  It just isn’t going to happen.”

Suzanne Ross, Microsoft Rearch

“If you're looking for easy ways to improve your computing experience, one item that belongs near the top of any list is a second monitor. When you hook two monitors up to a computer, an interesting thing happens.

Suddenly you'll spend a lot less time flipping through open files, programs, and e-mails, hunting for what you want. With all of that screen real estate spread out before you, you'll soon realize how much time you used to waste switching windows and looking for things. You'll then ask yourself, ‘How did I ever get by with just one monitor?’”

Leather Touch

A distinguished touch… by Sapphire.
The Vid-2X product line offers a unique paint finish with a leather touch. Impress friends and collegues with the contemporary design of Sapphire.

Just plug it in!

Easy to install, completely external. No need to mess with a system’s internals or even have to install a driver. Simply connect the device to the video graphics port on your existing adapter. Connect the unit to a USB port on your system and that’s it! Your operating system will automatically adjust and expose the new multi monitor functionality.

Stretch Your IT Dollars

IT departments are naturally resistant to adding another platform to their infrastrucutre for several reasons – unfamiliarity with new vendors, cost of training, and concerns about compatibility. Sapphire provides a simple and non-intrusive solution for multi-monitor support across operating systems and hardware platforms. For example, if multi monitor expansion is the only requirement, Sapphire’s Vid-2X can be used as a universal docking station across brands and models of laptops or avoid costly video graphics adapter upgrades in existing workstations. Simple and cost effective.

Sapphire PGS --VID-2X, the Easy Way to Create a 6480X3840 pixel Multi-monitor Video Wall
Vid-2X (PSE-DP4196)
Sapphire PGS (Professional Graphics Solution) products were demonstrated at Computex Taipei 2012. The large video wall solution shown above is composed of 12 screens, displaying a total resolution of 6480X3840 pixels, as well as 3D Real-Time Rendering Solution technology. International press reports relayed how reporters were amazed that a single display card could initiate such a large screen. How is it possible? The answer is here.

Video Editing

Home videos are now common but too often left forgotten on the hard disk because of... “packaging”. Today’s modern operating systems integrate intuitive and easy to use applications that are largely left untapped. Like all DIY projects it is important to have the right tools to produce quality and enjoyable results. Remove the confusion and alleviate the complexity of the interface with multiple monitors. With Sapphire’s Vid 2X tasks become clearer as one display provides an overview of all the pieces available while the second is used to bring everything together.

“It's all about real-estate. With two monitors you can stretch your timeline across the bottom of both screens and you can have more windows open at the same time. This means you spend less time opening and closing windows or scrolling through the timeline. As a result, you are more productive. Adobe, Avid & Sony all have optimized preset screen layouts for dual monitors.” Videoguys.com

Day-trading / Spreadsheets

Technique, knowhow and a solid approach to day trading are key but equipment is just as important. Multi-monitors allow day traders to track several quotes and other indicators without the need to switch between views. Increasingly, laptops provide the necessary processing power, reduce space requirements and are portable but lack the display capabilities for serious traders. Sapphire’s Vid 2X solution is the ideal add-on that solves the problem of multiple monitor configurations using laptops.

Gaming

Expand multi monitor gaming support to more titles by adding support for single logical screen. Combine two Vid 2X units with a dual output graphics card to get 4 displays in single logical screen and experience a new level of gaming. Finally with the Vid 2X Sapphire provides an affordable alternative to expanding the gaming experience to multiple monitors.

Power Office

Benefits of increased desktop real estate have long been understood and have been the object of several studies. Most professional corporate enviroments share a common workflow and seeing more of a spreadsheet, document, image or timeline has obvious benefits. We can think of such diverse verticals as legal, financial, insurance, CAD, digital content creation, web developers, GIS and mapping and so many others. With today’s increasing mobile workforce, corporate leasing strategies and focus on cost, the productivity gains and ROI in this usage scenario are by far the greatest. The Vid-2x by Sapphire is the cost effective tool for IT managers to extend the efficiency of multiple monitors to the entire work force across operating systems and platforms.

"The short run benefits of converting to a multi-screen set up should be immediate and the long term gains substantial."

3D Modeling / CAD

Maximise desktop area by driving two Full HD monitors, even from your laptop or single output graphics card, allowing you to display all of the models you are working on at once and still have room for your toolbox. Finally you can use all the horsepower of the Graphics Processor found in modern laptops, enabling massive desktop workspaces and shading millions upon millions of pixels for the ultimate image. Combine two Vid-2X units on twin output graphics cards to enable four monitors, or even three Vid-2X units on triple output graphics cards for six monitors and enjoy the productivity gains that multi-monitor set ups allow. Enables cost effective DVI monitors, even using DisplayPort inputs, providing an affordable alternative to the current solutions. No more scrolling through windows to find what you were looking for. Get the edge on your competition. See more of what’s happening in real time and work smarter.

Graphical Walls

Either used for collaboration or as an attraction, video walls are becoming more affordable and more accessible. Graphical walls, especially when interactive, become the centrepiece and can even stop traffic by injecting the “ahhhh” in any environment. Video walls are used on tradeshow floors, boardrooms, war rooms, in broadcast and control rooms of all types. The affordable Vid 2X can be combined with multi-port graphic adapters or PC farms to multiply the number of monitors supported and contributes to lower equipment costs for graphical walls.
