The Matrox QuadHead2Go Q185 Series builds on the Q155 platform by adding a dedicated LAN management port to both the appliance and PCIe card variants. This Ethernet connection allows IT administrators to configure, monitor, and update multiple Q185 units remotely from a central location, without requiring physical access to each device. Video input resolution of up to 4K at 60 fps or 8Kx8K is distributed across four Full HD displays simultaneously, with independent zone assignment and bezel correction available through the web management interface.

The LAN port is independent from the video signal path, meaning network management traffic does not consume any display bandwidth and administrators can access the management interface while the video wall is fully operational. Configuration changes — such as output resolution, display arrangement, and input source selection — take effect without interrupting live content. The Q185 is suited to permanent installations in corporate lobbies, transportation hubs, and control rooms where remote management is essential for ongoing operation.

Dedicated LAN Management Port

A separate Ethernet port provides remote configuration and monitoring of the Q185 unit over the network, independent of the video signal path and without interrupting live display output.

Four Full HD Outputs from One Source

Distributes a single input at up to 4Kp60 or 8Kx8K across four Full HD displays, enabling 2x2 or custom video wall layouts without a dedicated display server.

Web-Based PowerWall Management

The browser-based PowerWall interface allows administrators to configure display zones, resolution, and bezel compensation from any networked device without additional software installation.

Appliance or PCIe Card Variants

Available as a standalone appliance for source-independent deployment or as a single-slot PCIe card for integration into a host system, both offering identical video wall output capability.
