Plugable Technologies has launched its new USB 3.0 to HDMI/DVI graphics adapter, leading the next wave of the USB graphics revolution.
Thousands of Plugable customers already have used USB 2.0 graphics adapters as the easiest, most cost-effective way to add up to six monitors to their Windows PCs for displaying documents and productivity applications.
Plugable’s new USB 3.0 graphics adapter builds on this foundation while harnessing SuperSpeed USB 3.0’s 5 Gbps transfer rate — more than 10 times USB 2.0’s maximum. On USB 3.0 capable systems, this plug-and-play product can provide 1080p video to HDMI and DVI monitors with resolutions up to 2048×1152. It can transmit video and audio simultaneously over a single HDMI cable, enabling synchronized sound and picture while eliminating multiple cords.
This power comes in a small package. About the length of a stick of gum and not much wider or thicker than the end of the HDMI cable that plugs into it, the adapter’s compact size and USB 2.0 compatibility makes it appealing on nearly any Windows system where another monitor is needed.
