Did you miss us at CES 2010?

If so, check out this simple snapshot of our USB 3.0 virtual graphics technology demo. That's right, a development system was running smooth, high quality video over USB 3.0 and displaying it on a 1080p HDTV.

You can view the CES demo if you missed it on a video by Synopsys.

Lucky CES attendees are today getting a sneak peak of the next generation DisplayLink USB 3.0 virtual graphics technology.

At CES Unveiled, a press only event in Las Vegas, DisplayLink and HP demonstrated HD resolution USB graphics adapters and the HP USB 2.0 Docking Stations. Our friends at PC Perspective took a great shot of the product in action.

DisplayLink employees were shopping at Fry’s Electronics in Sunnyvale this weekend, and were happy to stumble upon an end-cap with a three monitor set up by Microsoft for Office 2007. The demo was utilizing a very simple PC with one display directly connected directly to the system and two further additional monitors connected using DisplayLink USB graphics adapters from Diamond Multimedia and IOGear.

Today three major market leaders are coming together to create a new era in Thin Client computing for education and emerging markets, where a complete PC for every person isn’t affordable or practical.

The ultra-convenient solution makes thin client computing available in larger installations than ever – up to ten seats per host. And with DisplayLink USB virtual graphics technology, it is an out-of-the-box thin client system that has the potential to save thousands of dollars compared to traditional thin client solutions.

· Microsoft introduced, last week, Microsoft Multipoint Server 2010 – a thin client OS that gives the host and up to ten users a complete Windows-7 like experience at each client.

· HP yesterday announced HP’s MultiSeat Thin Client solution– a thin client device that connects to the main PC via a single, easy USB cable and manages all client desktop peripherals including mouse, keyboard, monitor and more. (MultiSeat illustration.)

· Today DisplayLink announced it is providing drivers for the Microsoft Multipoint Server 2010, and the virtual graphics technology used by HP MultiSeat t100 Thin Client. DisplayLink USB virtual graphics technology uses familiar USB connectivity between the thin client and the host, thereby eliminating the need for running many cables, installing multiple graphics cards and other proprietary hardware in the host. Now thin client computing can be powered by desktop systems and sold at a fraction of the cost of today’s server architectures.

· Shared Resource Computing allows instructors or “hosts” to share an individual computer with 10 client OS sessions to surf the web, share documents and work independently from a single PC or notebook computer. This solution has the power to extend the reach of technology in learning environments like classrooms, labs, and libraries thereby giving more students access to Windows technology that can help them to learn, share, produce, communicate and positively impact their future employability.

Finally, low cost computing is a reality.

Itty bitty productivity is the way to describe the new MIMO 710-S mini monitor from Nanovision. Fold it up and throw it in your backpack for on-the-go multi-display computing.

Join DisplayLink and customers in Las Vegas at Interop 2009! May 19 - 21 in Booth 2056, DisplayLink will demonstrate its USB graphics technology in a variety of end devices that are great for business productivity and provide easy set up of multiple displays.

USB Universal Docking Stations
USB docking stations use the same peripheral connections as a proprietary dock: video, USB peripherals, audio and Ethernet with the added advantage of using a Universal USB connection (wired or wireless)to the notebook including those without an integrated dock. USB docking stations also create a true hot-desking experience, reduce total cost of ownership, and include an MSI Installer for fast corporate deployment.

USB Monitors
Easily add additional displays to any USB 2.0 enabled PC/notebook or netbook (that's most of them by the way) without the need for any additional graphics cards. Multiple monitors increase productivity. USB monitors reduce power consumption and can be easily daisy chained to add up to six displays.

USB Graphics Adapters (UGAs)
Reuse old displays and add screen real estate to your notebook (we recommend three for the optimal setup for business applications) using an affordable and portable adapter.

USB Projectors
USB graphics make starting and sharing presentations on a large screen a snap.
