At this year’s IDF, it looks like one of the main focuses is connectivity. After Intel outlined their own plans to feature “smart devices,” with a focus on their connectivity, it looks like it’s time for DisplayLink to keep their promise made at the end of the year, last year. And sure enough, the company has just made official their newest USB 3.0 chip platform.
Right now in San Francisco, DisplayLink is taking the curtain off their DL-1000 and DL-3000 single chip series. Both of these brand new chips feature things like integrated display and network connectivity, DisplayLink’s adaptive real-time compression technology (which should help with overall bandwidth, by taking full advantage of USB 3.0), and HD video support.
We can thank the newest version of USB for giving us simultaneous support for HD video, networking data, and HD grahics. But, as press releases tend to go sometimes, there’s no details about actual market release, let alone a price at this point. But, considering the plan on releasing it before the end of the year, hopefully we get some kind of news pertaining to those very important aspects soon. Full press release is below for your reading pleasure.
