Docking Station with Video User’s Manual

1. Introduction

The TXDOCK Docking Station with Video is a unique expansion
unit designed for computers that have extra connectivity
demands. With just one USB port on the computer, its
connection can be extended to not only USB peripherals, but
also to Ethernet network, speaker, microphone and an additional
monitor. It also offers desktop computer users the convenience of
accessing the peripherals within the reach, eliminating the hassle
of connecting or disconnecting 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
congured 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 connes of a
single display.

The upright design 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.
