DisplayLink Wholeheartedly Supports USB 3.0

Besides flash drives, RAID and even movie kiosks, video applications are moving fast to take advantage of ten-fold increase in bandwidth offered by USB 3.0. The first to jump onto the SuperSpeed USB bandwagon is none other than DisplayLink whose latest DL-195 network video chipset is already struggling with HD output on a heavily congested USB 2.0. If DL-195 is designed to be scalable, then the upgrade might just be as easy as swapping in new USB 3.0 peripheral bridge.

DisplayLink hasn't made any claims about performance improvements, but rest assured Palo Alto, Calif.-based company will have something to show at upcoming CES 2010. We reckon with first of the USB 3.0 HDDs enjoying a three-fold increase in data transfer compared to that of USB 2.0, a flicker-free 1080p USB monitor running at 60fps shouldn't be far behind. There are about 30 partners, including Lenovo, HP and Dell that rely on DisplayLink's network video to provide USB video output on their notebook docks, video adapters and mini monitors.
