Village Tronic provides volume discounts for its innovative ViBook multi-screen technology

Milan, Italy – June 24, 2009. Village Tronic, one of the leading pioneers of multi-display solutions, has announced that it is now offering discounts on its innovative ViBooks when customers purchase more than one at a time on its website. In Europe, the first ViBook costs €129 but then the price drops to €109 each for additional units ordered at the same time from the website at www.vibook.it. Prices include VAT and free shipping is provided to mainland Europe for orders from the on-line store. In USA and Canada, the first ViBook costs $US 129 but then the price drops to $US 109 each for additional units ordered at the same time from the website linked at http://www.villagetronic.com/vibook/buynow.html.

The ViBook enables additional monitors to be added to desktops and laptops very easily using a USB port to provide a low cost way to increase work screen area and productivity.

“We have had tremendous feedback from customers and reviewers on the ease of use of the product which is one of its key selling points especially if you want several screens connected to one computer,” said Ascanio Orlandini, Village Tronic’s CTO. “We have found that most customers are buying at least two ViBooks at a time hence this special promotion for multi-ViBook installations. You don’t have to be a computer specialist to fit it and set it up. Just plug one end into a USB port of a computer and the other into a monitor. Load our special software that comes with it, which handles all the aspects of running several screens from one computer, and you are ready to use your multi-screen setup. It really is that simple. Once you have tried multi-screens, you’ll never want to go back to just one screen. ”

The Village Tronic multi-screen software makes it easy to arrange programs on the screens exactly how the user wants them to improve their efficiency. For example, one or two programs can be dedicated to each screen so that they are always viable or a spreadsheet can be run seamlessly across all the displays. Everything the user needs to work effectively can be always on display to multi-task without the delay of having to scroll or open and close panes, which really improves productivity for very little cost.

Technical details for ViBook
Designed and manufactured to high quality standards in Italy, ViBook is extremely small at only 4.3cm by 7cm by 2.4cm (1.7 in by 2.8 in by 0.9in) and has a three year warrantee. Up to six displays can be driven by one Windows based computer and up to four for a Mac OS one. Each display is driven by an ultra compact ViBook that plugs directly into the DVI socket of the display and the other end of the cable goes to the USB port of the desktop or notebook.

ViBook is supplied as a complete USB Graphics System that includes a DVI to VGA cable for high quality analog output to displays, a VESA mounting cradle and Village Tronic’s sophisticated multi-screen software for an enhanced user experience – VT MultiDisplay software for Windows and VT Voilà for Mac. Other cable options are available as optional extras.

The ViBook Graphics USB-DVI Cable is compatible with any computer system with an USB 2.0 port running Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 on Intel-based Macs; and Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32 and 64-bit). It can support displays up to 22” in size, with a resolution of 1680×1050 (widescreen) and 1600×1200 (standard) in 16 and 32 bit color. As it draws its power from the USB within the USB power rating, no additional power adapters are required and it can even work via a USB hub. It can be used with or independently of the video card already installed in the computer and can even drive projectors and HDTV displays.
