TOSHIBA CHOOSES DISPLAYLINK NETWORK DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY
FOR DYNADOCK USB NOTEBOOK DOCK

Family of USB Notebook Docks Makes European Debut at IFA

BERLIN – Aug. 31, 2007 – DisplayLink today announced Toshiba has chosen its high-performance network display technology for the Dynadock family of universal laptop docks. The Dynadock products make their European debut this week at IFA Berlin (Aug. 30 – Sept. 5).

The Toshiba Dynadock is an advanced universal docking station that can be used with any Windows XP or Vista notebook PC with a USB 2.0 port. It allows a consumer to connect a notebook to a monitor, network cable and up to six USB peripherals with a single USB 2.0 connection.

One Dynadock model is based on the DisplayLink DL-160 chip and supports DVI-based displays with resolution up to 1680 x 1050 (Widescreen Super Extended Graphics Array - WSXGA+) or 1600 x 1200 (Ultra Extended Graphics Array – UXGA). The DVI capability provides crisp digital output even for notebooks without built-in digital monitor support, providing a cost-effective way to use a standard notebook in these applications.

Another Dynadock model is available for VGA-connected displays and is based on the DisplayLink DL-120 chip. It offers similar connectivity, but supports displays with resolution up to 1280 x 1024 providing an affordable platform for mainstream multi-monitor computing.

“Our notebook computers have the connectivity and performance needed to make people highly productive while on the road. But when they are back in the office, having a dock that allows them to add a large screen monitor and all of their peripherals with the ease and convenience of USB takes that benefit to the next level. Working with DisplayLink has resulted in a great addition to our product line,” said Doug Sash, director of accessory and services marketing for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division.

“More display space equals greater productivity, which is important to those consumers who have shifted to notebooks for both home and office computing,” said Dennis Crespo, vice president of marketing and business development for DisplayLink. “Working with a leader like Toshiba helps us to introduce the affordability, ease of use and overall productivity benefits of multi-display computing to the masses.”

Both Dynadock versions feature 10/100 Ethernet, serial, headphone and microphone ports in addition to a surround-sound S/PDIF port. For USB connectivity, the dock features a four-port USB. It connects to the notebook computer over a USB upstream port, transforming it into an all-digital, multi-monitor system with a single, hassle-free connection.

The Dynadocks deliver full 32-bit true color at all display resolutions with high-quality images and DVD-quality video. The docks automatically recognize the monitor type and configuration (EDID), support both standard and widescreen aspect ratios and use the existing notebook display configuration utilities without requiring a separate GUI.

The Dynadocks are available now in Europe with UK pricing starting at £109.79 (ex-VAT). More information is available on Toshiba’s Web site at www.toshiba-europe.com.
