Plug your monitor into a USB 2.0 port, possible!

Announcements:

A startup English Newnham Research, has found a way to connect a large number of monitors on one PC, regardless of the type of graphics card that integrates. The trick is simple: go through the USB interface.

The technology is called NIVO, it allows to pass graphical information as data through the port USB 2.0. This data stream arrives in an external box or an integrated chip directly to the monitor, it is decoded to reconstruct the display information pixel by pixel in real time.

The chip in question is a HRE (Hardware Rendering Engine) that is capable of supporting any type of CRT or LCD monitor, up to a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz in full compliance with all VESA standard, with a depth of 24-bit color at all resolutions, the company said in its press release.

Possible applications are then rather broad, Newnham Research imagine for example the case of a video projector connected directly to the USB port of a laptop. The company was founded in 2003, it will now open an office in Palo Alto, California, just to work in the sun.
