Sony VAIO USB Docking Station Now Shipping

DisplayLink announces that its network display technology is now available in the new Sony VAIO USB Docking Station, a USB-based universal notebook dock that's now shipping to customers in the United States, the European Union and Japan.

The result of a collaboration announced at CES earlier this year, the new docking station allows Sony notebook users to connect an analog or DVI display to a laptop using USB 2.0 – enabled by multi-monitor computing technology from DisplayLink.

The Sony VAIO dock can be used with any display with an analog or DVI connector and a resolution up to 1600 x 1200. This, combined with the universal USB 2.0 connection to the PC, makes it possible for corporate IT departments to deploy these universal docking stations to any worker with a Sony VAIO or any other brand of notebook.

With Ethernet, audio connections, four USB ports, headphone and microphone ports, and DC in, the Sony VAIO dock also is a suitable complement for the constant traveler or mobile professional, allowing people to easily connect and disconnect from all the peripherals they need, such as an additional external monitor, mouse, keyboard and printer. The Sony VAIO dock supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, including support for the Windows Vista Aero interface.
