DisplayLink Corp. Launches Three New Processors

DisplayLink Corp. has launched three new processors that deliver even more performance and power to USB 2.0 graphics applications--and are already deployed in Samsung's new SyncMaster LapFit LD190G and LD220G USB companion monitors. These new members of the DisplayLink USB graphics chip family--the DL-125, DL-165 and DL-195--make it possible to easily connect additional monitors using USB-connected docking stations, monitors, mini-monitors, projectors and adapters. The new silicon and software solution provide a high level of integration for USB graphics devices, support higher HD display resolutions, and have software and hardware advances that increases the overall performance allowing for smoother video playback and interactivity. More details about the DL-1x5 Series: The DL-1x5 Series integrate a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compliant device input and multiple video outputs including DVI (TMDS), analog (DSUB15), as well as LVDS for direct connection to a LCD panel and 12/24-bit RGB (TTL) for connectivity to external DisplayPort or HDMI devices. The integrated DVI and analog video DAC mean less design work and expense for device manufacturers. All video outputs support 32-bit True Color and increased resolutions, providing a high-quality graphics and support for full-screen HD video playback. Maximum supported resolutions for all three products are: Up to 2048 x 1152 for the DL-195, designed for high-end monitors, docking stations and adapters. Up to 1920 x 1080 for the DL-165, designed for cost effective docks, mainstream monitors and adapters. Up to 1440x1050 for the DL-125, designed for entry-level monitors, mini-monitors and projectors.

DisplayLink Corp. Releases Linux Source Code for its USB Graphics Processors

DisplayLink Corp. is taking steps to bring its USB display technology, formerly only available on Windows and Mac, to Linux. DisplayLink's chips enable one or more high resolution displays to be connected via the standard, universal USB 2.0 connector. The library released enables the creation of Linux software X Servers, drivers, and other applications--which will work with the growing universe of products using DisplayLink technology. The library is provided under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2 (LGPL), enabling software to be ported by the community to cover the widest possible range of processors, platforms, and applications. This ultimately enables companies to create products which will work on the full variety of Linux devices like netbooks, notebooks, mobile Internet devices, mobile phones, embedded displays, embedded devices, digital signage, and more.
