Included Software

Matrox eDualHead. Matrox eDualHead is a set of Web browser utilities to help you get the most out of multiple displays. Matrox eDualHead software supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later. It includes the following:

PageJump. Use Matrox PageJump to view Web page jumps in another browser window. When you start PageJump, it opens 2 browser windows. To use the PageJump feature, hold down the [Ctrl] key while clicking a hypertext link. The page pointed to by that link will appear in the other browser window. With this feature you can click a link and then still see the page that contained the link. For example, with a product catalog, you could view a list of products in one browser window and, with PageJump, view the product information in the other browser window.

PageWrap. Use Matrox PageWrap to view the continuation of a long Web page in at least one other browser window. As you scroll up or down in one browser window, PageWrap updates the other browser windows so that they show previous and/or subsequent parts of the page. In this way, PageWrap simulates a multiple column view of a single Web page.

Among other things, you can configure how many browser windows PageWrap uses and how much overlap there is between windows.Matrox

PageLog. Use Matrox PageLog to maintain a list of links or locations (URLs) you've visited with any instance of Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer. Among other things, with PageLog you can:

• Keep a history of the locations you've visited.
• Go to a location recorded in the list.
• By dragging-and-dropping, rearrange the list.
• By right-clicking a list item, perform various actions on that item.
• Save your list.
