Sunix Produces A USB Graphics Adaptor

[Joe]

The 'cards' do not really have much graphical prowess and are only capable of rendering 2D @ up to 1600x1200 with a 24-bit color depth but should be extremely useful to easily and cheaply add Multi Monitors to a computer system.

They will be available in DVI and VGA flavours

Swordfish 9 Headed System anyone ?

The VGA 2626 utilizes DisplayLinks Virtual Graphics software which has two functions. The first one is to compress and send the video data through the USB 2.0 bus while the second function remembers each adapters screen configuration data. The software can easily expand your desktop to the adapters (or clone it), and if the user desires this device can easily be used as a primary graphic device.

Thats pretty cool actualy. Id like to see this technology get better.

What is the best way to go about a multi monitor set up? as in more than 2 monitors without putting more strain on the main graphics card?

not strain on the Gcard ... not having the hardware to output is a problem

for most standard cards more than 2 monitors require a new card .. but each of those 2 ports could power a device that represents itself as the combined resolutions of 3 monitors and hence each port could drive 3 screens (matrox makes one around $ 80)

put in practice adding more Gcards (and having the required slots free) is currently a favorite way to add screens .

this new USB method would be easiest tho and could prove to be the cheapest

So I could put in 2 pci-e graphics cards into my pc and run them not in sli or crossfire, have be able to connect 4 monitors without the drivers conflicting?

Old news tbh, usb graphics cards have only been around about... 3 years .

Off course they have But, for our newer members, this may be a first for them. Nice post Joe, thanks for the effort the last few days

I heard there where rumours of a USB Geforce?!

Interesting stuff!

lol, next up, Intel produces processors .

I'm not going to entertain you by biting on this one, but you know exactly what I meant.

and TBH they have been buggy pieces of poo that supported 16 bit colour and relatively low res choices ... THIS SUPPORTS HI DEF QUALITY !!! (1.6K*1.2K @ 24 bit)

and would be perfect for shops with many HI Def screens to push hidef content too

cheers PV

Habout the Samsung UbiSync, it's a usb monitor . Anyways, they're all built using the same technology from a company called DisplayLink.

There was a thread on here a while ago about the Toshiba DynaDock too, seems to have gone AWOL :\.

Edit : Here we go, good that Google works even if vB search doesn't.

Phnom if you took a moment before you pounce at the opportunity to disprove what someone has said for the umpteenth time, you would see that this is not announcing the existence of usb graphics adapters but informing people of Sunix's latest one.

As PV has said, this is clearly news to a lot of members and as Joe has said, is quite an advancement on the current solutions. Joe has taken the effort to inform people of the technology so if you cannot be thankful, please keep your snide comments to yourself.

To be fair this is the first time ive seen discrete Hi Def adaptors (and my friend i have been active in the tech scene for a good few years) and thought i would share this new of these new pieces of technology (well they are as yet to be released ne how)
