DisplayLink to Demo Firsts in USB and Wireless Network Display Technologies at CeBIT 2007
PALO ALTO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- DisplayLink Inc. today announced it will demonstrate the first USB-connected display, along with groundbreaking Wi-Fi and wireless UWB network display technology at CeBIT 2007 in Hannover, Germany, March 15-21.
The demonstration will show how the company's technology is being used to deliver excellent image quality and high-performance monitor/mouse/keyboard interactivity over either a wireless or a USB connection to a PC.
The company will demonstrate the world's first USB display, the Samsung SyncMaster 940UX which integrates DisplayLink technology directly into the display, instead of VGA or DVI technology, to connect to a PC via USB 2.0. The demonstration will show how using DisplayLink's software allows the display to come online instantly, with all of the proper display settings, every time it's connected to the computer. The demonstration will also highlight the performance of the solution, including real-time interactivity, DVD-quality video playback and crisp 32-bit true-color graphics.
"The consumer's demand for more screens - be they monitors, photo frames or other application-specific displays - is driving the shift to network display technology because it delivers multiple monitors with simplicity and low cost," said Dennis Crespo, DisplayLink executive vice president of marketing and business development. "There's a huge 'wow factor' when people see the performance and image resolution of our technology, which is why it's a great to have the opportunity to show it off to European journalists at CeBIT."
DisplayLink's network display chip family includes high-performance graphics networking chips designed to enable monitor manufacturers, PC OEMs and PC accessory companies to develop products that enable network displays including USB-connected monitors, video-capable USB laptop docking stations, Skype video phones, picture frames and other devices.
The complete DisplayLink solution is comprised of Virtual Graphics Card (VGC) software that runs on a Windows host PC, and a Hardware Rendering Engine (HRE) inside the DL-120 or DL-160 graphics networking chips at the display end. The VGC software processes a stream of display information using the company's proprietary adaptive graphics protocol and transmits it over a USB 2.0, wireless USB, or Wi-Fi link to the DL-120 or DL-160 chip that reconstructs the image on the display.
