Displaylink usb graphics software for mac os x install#
This is technology is useful for quick build-up and teardown of multiple monitor setups, sure, but as a replacement for mature technology already in place on Macintosh systems, this is a solution in search of problem. App name: DisplayLink USB Graphics Software App description: displaylink (App: DisplayLink Software Installer.pkg) App website: Install the App. I doubt any application will be able to use the processors dedicated to transmitting video over USB. Present GPU technology provides multiple dedicated processors for use not only in graphics applications, but for users of OS X and the forthcoming 10.6, the regular OS will make use of those GPUs. The problem with this is that the technology for PCIe and AGP is so much more advanced for similar prices and you are not using compression technology. If you want dedicated hardware to accelerate the compression, you're talking about another $300 or so. In the case of computer-to-monitor configs, your CPU will be doing the compression of information to transmit over the USB network. USB Monitors begin at around $300 and you have to have software in place. Monitors connect to graphics adapters via standard VGA/DVI. The investment in technology is expensive. MacBook Pro connects to two monitors via USB cables using DisplayLink-powered graphics adapters. Three Ways of Driver Installation: Insert the adapter to your computer directly, and the driver will be installed automatically. Connect HDMI output of this product to HDTV using one HDMI M/M cable.

The premise is that rather than transmitting video information over AGP or PCIe you would do so over USB. Connect USB 3.0 port of this product to computer.
