PALO ALTO, CALIF. -  April 15, 2008 – DisplayLink today announced that it is providing core USB graphics functionality in the new Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator with Video. DisplayLink’s pioneering hardware and software enables high-speed transmission of video and graphics over an ordinary USB 2.0 cable. This enables universal USB port replication, which allows users to enjoy the benefits of docking a notebook PC through a single USB connection.

“From its legendary ThinkPad notebooks to its powerful docking stations and accessories, Lenovo is a standard-setter in the PC industry,” said Dennis Crespo, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at DisplayLink. “They are an important new customer for us that will make DisplayLink technology available to a wide range of PC users.”

Convenient USB-based port replication
Easy-to-use port replicators are indispensable for professionals who need both complete portability on the road and maximum productivity in the office. They provide the expansiveness of the desktop environment for mobile users, while offering a single place to manage cables and accessories including an additional monitor for better multitasking.

The Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator with Video offers additional convenience by requiring only a USB 2.0 connection for full port replication functionality. Hot plug connectivity and accessory support enables mobile professionals to dock or un-dock in a matter of seconds. IT departments are likely to appreciate the easy and no-hassle configuration and compatibility of USB.

DisplayLink USB display technology also makes it easy for users to configure their display environment. For instance, users can choose to extend their desktop across both monitors, or view the same desktop on each monitor. Selection is as simple as pushing a button on the front panel of the port replicator.
