For the first time Toshiba showed the dock- station dynadock approximately one month ago. We already had time to be introduced to the fundamental characteristics of device, and now steels were known the new details, which are concerned the technologies, which ensure to notebook, connected to Dynadock, the possibility of conclusion of image to the external monitor.
The the fact is that interesting special feature Of dynadock is the use of technologies company displayLink, about which we also already told. Let us recall, the microcircuits displayLink DL-120 and DL-160, whose release was announced in the beginning year, they make possible to connect computer monitors to pc with the aid of interface USB 2.0.
In one of models dynadock is used the microcircuit displayLink DL-160, which provides the conclusion of images with resolution to 1680 x 1050 pixels (Widescreen super extended graphics array - WSXGA+) or 1600 x 1200 pixels (Ultra extended graphics array - UXGA) to the monitor, connected to the dock- station with the aid of joint DVI. Thus, even notebook, which does not have digital DVI for the connection of external monitor, obtains this possibility in the case of use together with Dynadock.
The second model dynadock is calculated for the connection of monitors with the VGA. It is built on the base of chip displayLink DL-120. Maximum resolution in this case is 1280 x 1024 pixels.
According to the producer, the dock- station will automatically recognize the type of monitor and his configuration, the support usual and wide-format relationship of sides sequence.
By the way, the idea to use USB 2.0 for the connection of monitor draws not only the producers of dock- stations : recently the company samsung presented the monitor syncMaster 940 UX, in which this possibility was realized.
