1. Introduction
1. Introduction
The Docking Station with Video is a unique expansion unit designed for computers
that have extra connectivity demands. Just with one USB port on the computer, its
connection can be extended not only to USB peripherals, Ethernet network,
speaker, microphone but also an additional monitor. It also offers desktop computer
users the convenience of accessing the peripherals within the reach, eliminating
the hassle of connect or disconnect the peripherals from the rear of a computer.
With the video port your computer can be connected to one more monitor, LCD or
projector. The connected monitor can be configured to either mirror your primary
screen, or extend the Windows desktop allowing visibility of more applications at
the same time. No more stacking windows within the confines of a single display.
As to the housing, aside from the impressive sailboat-like appearance, the upright
design of the body helps to spare your desktop space. Most peripherals are
connected behind while two USB ports and audio outputs are implemented on the
front panel for easier accessibility. An industry standard security lock is also
provided for anti-theft purpose.
Enhanced expansion capability plus the stylish appearance, surely this docking
station with video is the most versatile accessory that also complements your home
or office space.
