Matrox

Matrox

A matrox is the device which controls three different projectors or screens at once.

Each projector can show a different image

A matrox would be useful when a split screen is trying to be shown on stage; for example on the left of the stage it could show the inside of a church but on the right it could show a grave yard and then the third projector could show the sky.
