Style conventions of this manual

DualHead and TripleHead editing using Matrox

display cards

Many video editors prefer the larger desktop workspace that two or three

monitors can provide. We recommend the Matrox G550, P650, P750, and Matrox

Parhelia display cards, which are optimized for DualHead and/or TripleHead

editing with Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme.
