DISPLAYLINK DEBUTS USB AND WIRELESS
NETWORK DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY FOR WINDOWS VISTA

DisplayLink debuts Windows Aero-enabled USB monitors, docking stations
and adapters at WinHEC 2007

PALO ALTO, CALIF. - May 15, 2007 – DisplayLink Corp. today announces support for the Windows Aero 3D interface in Windows Vista for its family of network display semiconductors, making it one of the first companies to enable USB 2.0 and WiMedia wireless display connections for Windows Vista.

The company will demonstrate this technology on DisplayLink-enabled products, including USB displays, notebook docking stations and display adapters from Samsung, Toshiba, Kensington, I/O Gear and Sunix in booth 112 at WinHEC 2007, May 15-17 in Los Angeles Convention Center.

DisplayLink’s solution is built for “plug & play” simplicity enabling notebook docking stations and multi-monitor computing for all PC users. The technology enables the 3D capabilities of the Windows Aero interface on multiple screens for an unparalleled user experience on USB-connected displays. Up to six displays can be added to a computer over a single USB connector when using the Windows Vista Basic color scheme interface.

“With this solution we are delivering the powerful productivity gains derived from multi-monitor computing without compromising the Windows Vista experience,” said Hamid Farzaneh, president and CEO of DisplayLink. “We expect our support for Windows Vista to further boost the strong momentum we’ve seen for our network display solutions – which includes four announced OEM partnerships already in 2007.”

“Microsoft is pleased that DisplayLink is participating in WinHEC this year,” said Dave Wascha, director of Windows Client Product Management at Microsoft Corp. “It is technology advancements like DisplayLink’s that help pave the way for innovation on the Windows platform and in the industry.”

The DisplayLink solution for Windows Vista delivers high-quality images, including 32-bit color images and smooth DVD video playback. Interactivity with mouse and keyboard is quick and responsive, and the solution supports monitor resolutions as high as 1600 x 1200 (Ultra eXtended Graphics Array - UXGA) and 1680 x 1050 (Widescreen Super Extended Graphics Array - WSXGA+).

DisplayLink’s solutions combine a Virtual Graphics Card (VGC) software driver for Windows XP and Windows Vista on the host computer and DisplayLink’s DL-120 and DL-160 Hardware Rendering Engine (HRE) chips that are embedded in displays, projectors, notebook docks, adapters and other display systems to convert the compressed video information into pixels for the display. The solution uses a lossless compression algorithm to transmit graphics across a wide range of standard wired and wireless network interfaces.

Availability
VGC software version 4.1 and the DL-120 and DL-160 chips are now available for quantity shipments from DisplayLink and its worldwide representatives.
