WE RECOMMEND

Rejoice USB OEMs. Displaylink & Alereon has announced the availability of a reference design for a Certified Wireless USB display adapter. I'm sure you've all seen IOGear USB video card and Samsung 19" native USB monitor. While this breakthrough would allow these products to go wireless, the reference design will allow new product categories, including wireless USB projectors and photo frames that feed images from the PC.

The board pairs Alereon's WiMedia AL5000 chipset with DisplayLink's network display to output a max. of 1680 x 1050 res in 16.7 million colors with "...smooth DVD video playback and quick responsiveness." Future products with this board integrated will be universally compatible with notebooks with built-in WUSB option, which is a novelty as of this writing. You can check out this board in action in WiMedia Booth at upcoming 2008 CES in Vegas.
