[ANSWERED] Matrox TH2G and Mac M1 - does it work?
-
@bonemap I'm running 1.04.07.001, not sure if there's the latest version or not - I remember having to hunt for a working version I think? It was a while back I was looking at it.

Hey!
I have a M1 14', two Triple head digital edition, and trying to make them work...
@timkelly how do you managed to make Powerdesk work? Like you, I'm running Monterey, but when I click on it, I have a message saying that the app need to be updated...
Thanks!!

Have you tried running the app in Rosetta Mode?
(open 'get info' on the application, then check 'open using Rosetta', close the 'get info' dialog and open the application) -
Here is a link to the Matrox PowerDesk download: https://video.matrox.com/en/ap...

Ok thank you guys for your help!
I managed to make Powerdesk work. It was not possible for me to run it with Rosetta: When I click "get info", I don't have that choice, whereas I have it with other apps like Safari. For the moment I juste have an image using the output 1 of my TH2G, and Powerdesk doesn't want to detect any of my monitors... I contacted Matrox to know what is happening..

@georgesgeorges Could you make it work?

I know that @mark recently was successful using one TripleHead2Go DP Edition with an M1 Mac laptop. I know this because I lent him the TripleHead and then worked on the project doing the lighting. You may run into issues if you try to use more than one TH2G at the same time.

@woland thanks. I'm using one TH2G on M1 Max working well on a daily project for the last month. I'm getting one more an i'll test with two at the same time. Which kind of specific issues may happen? Thanks again!

Been trying to use a TripleHead2Go on my Mac M1 and it just won't recognize the HDMI connection.
Using direct DP to HDMI cords didn't help. Any suggestions?
-
Did you pick up the latest Mac drivers from the Matrox Website for the Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition?
-
@woland Not me who asked the question originally, but today i picked up the latest Powerdesk från matrox, and NO - i to dont have the option open in Rosetta.

@bonemap Hi there, would you be so kindf, and let me know, what brand and reference of converters did you use? i have tried 3 different ones, and with only one the macmini m1 recognizes the matrox as unknown display, the matrox itself gives me green light, but the monitor just blink trying to get the signal from matrox, but nothing else happens... TIA

Hi,
I am not clear on how many Thunderbolt ports are available on the M1 MacMini. The MacStudio I was using had three Thunderbolt ports. I think it may be important to use DisplayPort compatible Thunderbolt ports for video out. The standard USBC ports may not work for this.
Best wishes,
Russell
