Real-time display of connected device information. USB-C hub with liquid crystal display "Visual Dock2"

▍Further evolution! Visual Dock2

Visual Dock2 is a (8-in-1) USB-C hub with a liquid crystal display that can display operating status and temperature in real time.

Cable is detachable

From the previous work, many new functions have been added, and the size and number of ports have been upgraded.

▍Variety of functions of Visual Dock2

▍ Visualize information of connected devices

You can view the operating status and temperature of the connected device in real time.

[Status of all ports]
・Whether it is inserted
・Type of device
・Temperature of the main chip
・Diagnosing whether ports and devices are operating normally
> 4K@60Hz HDMI: Displays monitor brand, size, current maximum resolution, manufacturing date, temperature, etc.
PD: Displays voltage, current, temperature

▍The display can be switched with the [D-Key button]

D-Key is a button that allows you to switch the display screen with a single touch.
Also, you can change the orientation of the Visual Dock2 screen according to the position of the PC's USB-C port.

[Extreme Mode]

The ability to up-convert older PCs (which only support 4K/30Hz output) to 4K/60Hz output. When this mode is selected, only devices that support high image quality can simultaneously transmit 4K/60Hz and 10Gbps USB data.

[Balance Mode]

For newer PCs (must support 4K/60Hz), the ability to achieve both 4K/60Hz I/O and 10GB/s data transfer.
There are 0 to 8 levels of signal levels to stabilize the HDMI output when screen flicks or black screens occur.

▍Switch transfer speed automatically

● Switch to 10Gbps

USB 3.0 transfers up to 10Gbps data instantly and delivers constant power.

● High load mode

In high load mode, it takes only 2 seconds to transfer a 2G video.
Each USB port can deliver up to 7.5W of power, ensuring stable fast charging and data transfer at the same time.
(Data USB ports include 4 USB-A ports and 1 data USB-C port)

● ECO mode

Eco mode does not support high power data transfer. With two USB ports, you can use it for peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, and save energy with eco mode (Eco mode will be available in a later update).

▍You can set the occupied power of the hub

The USB port can supply up to 25W.
This eliminates the need for a separate power supply to operate devices that require a lot of power, such as external HDDs and portable SSDs.
When you are charging your computer at high speed, you will use power to charge your computer, but you can supply 5W to the USB port at the same time.
In addition, the built-in high voltage protection function prevents the motherboard from burning out, so you can use it with confidence.

▍High Speed ​​Gigabit Ethemet

Instantly display your network connection speed

The Gigabit Ethernet port supports network speeds of 10/100/1000Mbps, allowing you to take full advantage of your network's performance and enjoy instant and smooth connectivity anywhere, whether online gaming, working, or video streaming. increase.

▍Turbo cooling fan for heat dissipation

When using a regular hub, heat builds up easily, resulting in unstable data transfer, poor performance, and even a security risk. It is safe because it is equipped with a turbo cooling fan that is silent with performance.

When you first manually set the cooling to 65-85°C, the system will automatically start the fans to cool down and regulate the internal temperature for safe working.

▍Detachable cable

● Advantages of detachable cables

1.Because it is a detachable cable, it is hard to damage the cable.
2.The cable can be replaced according to the usage scene.
3.Even if the cable is damaged, a commercially available cable can be used as a substitute.
4.Convenient to carry and store.

● Employs an FPC USB-C cable that is 10 times stronger than normal

FPC (Flat Printed Circuit) USB-C cables are softer, more flexible and more durable than traditional USB-C cables, bending 180 degrees more than 25,000 times 10 times stronger than regular cables.

Furthermore, the removed cable adopts USB-C3.1 Ger.2, realizing 100W charging, 10Gps data transfer rate, and 4K @ 60z HDMI output.

▍Original OS installed

The user interface of Visual Dock2 is equipped with DockOS, which is an OS for hubs, so you can select various interface operation modes and customize operation parameters. DockOS will be updated to add new features and improve compatibility for more devices.

▍Sophisticated design

Visual Dock2 uses a zinc alloy shield as the material to improve the protection performance of the internal parts.

The unibody design, which consists of a single part and does not have any seams, achieves a smooth and elegant texture.

▍Overseas Media Information

Overseas, it has been featured in various media and has received many favorable review articles.
