Kensington will use the new DisplayLink Mac OS X network display technology for the Kensington sd200v Notebook Docking Station with Video and Dual Monitor Adapter. The company says it’s the first vendor to display USB 2.0 multi-monitor products for Intel-based Macs.
The Kensington sd200v Notebook Docking Station with Video allows a user to connect speakers, a VGA display and up to five USB peripherals to their Mac with a single USB 2.0 connection. DisplayLink’s network display technology is used in the docking station to provide high performance graphics over USB. (See announcement today of DisplayLink’s Mac OS X product debut.) The docking station’s DualView feature provides an access front-panel button to enable multi-monitor computing by switching the external display between mirror and extended desktop modes.
As an alternative to the sd200v Notebook Docking Station with Video, Mac users can also utilize the recently announced Kensington Dual Monitor Adapter to add up to four additional displays to their computer over a single USB 2.0 connection. It has both VGA and DVI connectors and can be used interchangeably with either type of display.
The Kensington sd200v Notebook Docking Station with Video is available now for US$139.99. The Kensington Dual Monitor Adapter will be available in the second quarter for $99.
