DisplayLink Brings USB Multi-Display Connectivity to the Mac

New DisplayLink Software Enables USB Based Multiple Displays for
Intel Based Mac Users; Kensington Debuts Mac Docking Station and Dual
USB Adapter
SAN FRANCISCO & PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--DisplayLink today announced the availability of its USB network
display technology for Mac OS X, allowing Intel-based Mac users to,
for the first time, connect additional displays to their computers
using USB 2.0.

USB multi-monitor capability expands a computer's work area
freeing users to be more creative, productive, and to enjoy the full
capabilities of their Mac. For example:

-- Mac mini users can, for the first time, view their content on
up to four displays.

-- MacBook and MacBook Pro users can experience desktop
convenience with the first ever USB graphics universal
notebook docks.

-- iMac and Mac Pro users can use DisplayLink-based products to
expand their visual workspace by adding up to four additional
displays with the ease of USB and with instantaneous mouse and
keyboard response, 32-bit true-color graphics and DVD-quality
video performance.

The DisplayLink solution is comprised of the new Mac OS-compatible
Virtual Graphics Card (VGC) software along with Hardware Rendering
Engine (HRE) network display chips that are embedded in display
devices. Once a Mac user has installed the VGC software, they are able
to use a variety of HRE-powered multi-monitor products including USB
graphics adapters (UGAs), which connect a VGA or DVI display to a
computer using USB; universal notebook docks and USB-connected
displays. To date, these products are available worldwide from major
consumer electronics manufacturers such as LG, Kensington, Samsung,
Sony and Toshiba.

A beta version of the Mac VGC software is on display at Macworld
2008 (Jan. 15-18) at DisplayLink's booth # W-4238. Kensington will
also be showing the first DisplayLink-based docking station for Mac
laptops at booth S-2308 (see separate press release). The Mac VGC
software will be generally available in March 2008.

"The Mac's superb communication and creativity capabilities can
now be further enhanced by substantially augmenting the users' viewing
surface by easily adding monitors over a convenient USB link," said
Hamid Farzaneh, president and CEO of DisplayLink. "More screen space
gives people more space to spread out their work and enjoy multiple
applications and websites simultaneously."

The DisplayLink VGC software is compatible with both Tiger and
Leopard versions of the Mac OS and takes full advantage of advanced OS
features, including extending the Spaces feature across multiple
displays.

Mac VGC Software Availability

The beta version of the Mac VGC software is available in March
2008. More information on DisplayLink-powered display devices is
