The technology enables hot plugging without overloading the system. Everything is like HDMI, but there is still support for VGA and older analog video.
It is a two-way serial communication interface used to connect displays. Port Thunderbolt 2 transfers data at high speed. This standard will cope with high bandwidth applications. If the connectors are not used, they go into power saving modes. The level of power supply is 1.5 times higher than that of version 2.0 (if the devices are optimized for the standard).
This increases the transmission speed and allows you to transfer information in full duplex (data is transmitted simultaneously in two directions).
High speed is achieved by parallel auxiliary buses. The power is controlled normally, in line with the previous standards. Port USB provides high speed data transfer, no cable length limitation. Time will show how the struggle between these interfaces will develop, but for now let's compare their characteristics. But with the advent of the Thunderbolt interface, the technical capabilities have expanded, albeit at a high price. The Belkin Express Station transmits large amounts of information quickly and in high quality.ĭespite expectations, the USB standard has not been supplanted. The design of the device is minimalist, stylistically fits all gadgets Apple.
The tool allows you to get a high speed of information transfer. With such a tool, you will not need additional adapters. The connection is via FireWire, USB, Ethernet and Thunderbolt daisy-chain. This is a device connected via a Thunderbolt port, allowing you to connect up to eight pieces of equipment. If it is not there, an adapter will come to the rescue again.
If you want to connect a TV to a laptop, then you can do this through the HDMI connector. This simple manipulation will improve the graphics capabilities of Apple. An adapter may be needed to connect an external video card. If the laptop only has one single port (or all) and it is a Thunderbolt standard, then an additional adapter is indispensable. The body of the gadget is equipped with them on both sides closer to the hinges. One line is used to transfer information between equipment, and the second is used for screen signals.Įvery laptop released by Apple recently has one or more Thunderbolt ports. The interface is equipped with two data lines, both transmit signals in both directions at speeds up to 10 Gbps. The port has a physical alignment with the Mini Display Port, there will be no difficulties when connecting. A device with a single port is set as closing, since it will not be possible to transmit a signal through it. For daisy chaining, devices must have two Thunderbolt ports. Connect in one daisy chain up to 6 devices, of which there can be two monitors with Display Port. The technology also supports hot plugging, like the FireWire interface. The developer company found that the cable gives high speed not only with fiber optic cable, but also with copper. Transmitter chips amplify the transmitted signal. Each end of the cord is equipped with a low power transmitter chip. The cost of the cable is high due to the fact that it is active. Data from Display Port and PCIe enter the controller separately, then move together along the cable and diverge at the output. Or communication with the PCH chipset via the PCIe line. Integration into the system of controllers goes in two ways: direct connection to PCI lanes Express processor (Ivy Bridge or Sandy bridge ). Now video cards with PCI (or PCIe) - Express interface are used. This is the main requirement of peripheral audio and video technology. The interface supports high-precision time synchronization. Why and why is it needed? This standard is not just a new optical interface for external devices, it connects to a serial stream PCI Express and Display Port. This is Intel's development jointly with Apple. The first name of this interface is Light Peak. Some Apple notebook models are equipped with only new ports, which is not convenient to use. Although it was expected that the thunderbolt will supplant Port USB 3.0, this has not happened yet. Every updated laptop has at least one such port. In recent years, Apple technology has received a Thunderbolt port. The technical capabilities of laptops are changing, appearance, communication connectors.
