Matrox DualHead2Go for running V8 or V6 on a Laptop

Hello,

I want to test my V8 and V6 on my laptop (MacBook Pro) that has only single video output. I found a previous discussion on this forum about using a Matrox DualHead2Go. However, I check its specs on Matrox website and found that it doesn't support 2x640x480, required by the HMDs. Is there any trick to make it works?

Thank you,
Mark

To clarify, I am talking about Virtual Research HMDs.

You are wishing to get stereoscopic out, right?

Yes, I want 2 left&right video outputs for 3D stereo.

You could probably do it with 2 cheap AV converters on the outputs, using them to convert the VGA output signal from the DH2Go from the res it supports, to 640x480. Would add a bit of latency but might be acceptable.

Thank you. I think that would work. Is there another alternative besides DH2Go?
