Digital Trends
Digital projector marker InFocus has long been promoting DisplayLink technology, which enables users to push audio and video to projectors over a standard USB connection, rather than using VGA or HDMI connectors. The advantage: DisplayLink can handle up to six projectors at once, which (depending on graphics capabilities) can mirror the same image or act as independent displays so users can set up video walls or set up presentations that handle multiple video sources.
You can use already use a USB connection to connect a keyboard, mouse, webcam, PDA, camera, MP3 player, and dozens of other peripherals, but now you can add one more big item to that list: your monitor. LG Electronics launched the first North-American line of USB-capable monitors on Monday, which use a USB 2.0 cable to deliver HD-quality graphics without the traditional DVI or VGA connector.
LG’s FlatronWide L206W 20-inch widescreen monitor will be the first display to offer a USB connection, with technology from DisplayLink, a California company. Using DisplayLink’s DL-160 chip, the monitor receives a stream of information from a virtual graphics card running on the host computer, which it then reconstructs into the display image.
