DisplayLink brings simple USB connectivity to new Toshiba small USB port replicator Dynadock V10

PALO ALTO & LAS VEGAS, USA: Toshiba’s new laptop and netbook docking station offers the productivity and convenience benefits of a universal docking station with a minimal size and lightweight – and offers single cable connectivity and multi-monitor computing capabilities enabled by DisplayLink Corp.’s innovative USB virtual graphics technology.

DisplayLink’s unique silicon and software solution allows consumers to plug the new Toshiba dynadock V10 –USB Mini Port Replicator to any laptop PC with just one easy USB connection. Then, anything connected to the dock – such as an extra monitor, other peripherals like keyboards, mice and digital cameras, and even Ethernet – is immediately and automatically available for use.

The dynadock V10 is Toshiba’s first dock that combines an entry level cost with a full set of features in a mini sized package – making it an easy-to-choose computing companion for consumers and business travelers. It’s half the size and one-third thinner than other products in the dynadock family.

“DisplayLink’s USB virtual graphics provide a quick, simple way for laptop users to double their visual workspace,” said Dennis Crespo, executive vice president of business development and marketing for DisplayLink. “The dynadock V10 is another practical, productive Toshiba docking solution that is the perfect campaign for today's thin and light Notebooks and Netbooks."

Delivering crisp, fast-response graphics via USB 2.0 is enabled by DisplayLink’s DL-165 chip, part of the new DL-1x5 chip series introduced earlier this year. The DL-165 supports display resolutions up to 1920x1080 and features software and hardware advances that increase overall performance, allowing for smoother video playback.

Other features of the new Toshiba V10 mini dock include four USB 2.0 ports, a DVI connector, audio, 10/100 Ethernet. The DisplayLink Certified device also is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The Toshiba dynadock V10, part number PA3778E-1PRP, is available immediately in Europe.
