ADDLOGIX FINDS MISSING LINK IN NOTEBOOK EVOLUTION.


A vital missing link in notebook evolution has finally been discovered - the UniXpress USB Port Replicator from Addlogix of Irvine, CA.

"UniXpress is the latest advancement in the notebook evolution, bridging the worlds of VGA, USB, and non-USB peripherals to the notebook with one single USB cable," says Matthew Chang, Addlogix marketing manager. "And for the first time, road warriors can achieve 1280 x 1024 resolution via a USB connection from their laptop to a nearby monitor or even use a third screen without adding a video card."

Double Vision

This technology from Addlogix is known as the UniXpress USB Port Replicator. It works on any Windows-based notebook or PC, and can do virtually anything a traditional docking station can do. Mobile users connect the VGA display, Ethernet, speakers, microphone, USB printers, and other peripherals to UniXpress. All of these peripherals can then interface with the computer via one single USB cable. This cable will be the only cable the user connects or disconnects when the computer is on the go.

UniXpress also comes with several unique features. For example, users can add a second monitor without installing video graphics cards i.e. you can have Word running on the laptop screen and an Excel spreadsheet on an external monitor via UniXpress simultaneously.

Graphic designers can use this capability to facilitate the manipulation of images in Adobe Photoshop and other graphics programs. No longer will users have to scramble the little tool bars and property windows away from the files that they are working on. Instead, they can have the document on one screen and the tool bars on the other screen. Similarly, animators, video editors and business users can make use of the additional "desktop space" to increase productivity. And on mid- to high-end notebooks which already have an additional VGA port, it is possible to add a third screen through UniXpress.

In terms of resolution, UniXpress is the only port replicator that supports video resolution of 1280 x 1024. Its patent pending graphics engine also offers jitter-free DVD playback. Further, its VGA port provides a benefit normally reserved for high-end video graphics cards - three modes of video support:

1) Duplication mode (the same image appears on the notebook and the second monitor)

2) Extended mode (different images on each screen)

3) Primary mode (acts as the only display) i.e. you close your notebook screen and an image remains on an external monitor. If you have a 19-inch flat screen on the desktop, primary mode lets you move from a 13 or 14-inch laptop screen to the larger monitor.
