TECHNOLOGY AT
3GSM WORLD CONGRESS
BARCELONA, Spain, 3GSM World Congress - Feb. 13, 2007 – DisplayLink (formerly Newnham Technology) today announced its high-performance network display technology is being featured in a demonstration of the world’s first WiMedia-connected computer display at the Intel stand in the WiMedia pavilion at the 3GSM World Congress (7C58 in Hall 7).
The display shows how DisplayLink’s technology can be used with Intel WiMedia ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to wirelessly connect a monitor to a PC. With wireless network display connectivity, consumers can easily add monitors, photo frames, projectors or TVs to PCs at work or home without cabling hassles.
“Wireless network displays are emerging as the next big consumer application to make full use of content-rich PCs by giving them access to any display or TV in the home or at work,” said Dennis Crespo, DisplayLink executive vice president of marketing. “Participating in Intel’s WiMedia Pavilion is an excellent opportunity to show that DisplayLink technology combined with WiMedia has the right performance and connectivity features to deliver an excellent user experience.”
The complete solution includes DisplayLink’s innovative software that runs on a Windows host PC and the cost-effective DL-160 and DL-120 network display engine ICs, which drive the display. The combined solution delivers an exceptional wireless display experience with instantaneous mouse, monitor and keyboard interactivity, images in 32-bit true color without quality loss and real-time, full-motion, DVD-quality video playback.
The DL IC device family is the first solution in the world that delivers high-quality, real-time graphics across USB, UWB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi today.
The company’s chips and software allow monitor manufacturers, PC OEMs and PC accessory companies to develop network displays, video-enabled USB laptop docking stations, and other innovative connectivity options for displays. Other applications include network-connected computer projectors, digital picture frames and computer-based signage.
