DisplayLink

DisplayLink, a brand of Synaptics Incorporated, develops USB-based virtual graphics technology that pairs host driver software with a device-side decoder SoC to act as a virtual graphics card. Its adaptive-compression technology powers universal docking stations, USB monitors, adapters, and multi-display setups over USB-C, USB, and Ethernet, spanning products from the entry-level DL-3000/4000 series to the quad-display DL-7000 professional series. DisplayLink is a hardware/semiconductor and driver-software product line rather than a public web-API provider; its developer surface consists of chip SDKs, firmware tooling, and host driver software.

DisplayLink is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductors, USB Graphics, Docking Stations, and Displays.
