AMD shows off DisplayPort extension DockPort

DockPort was officially adopted as an extension to DisplayPort by VESA. Hopefully it will begin to catch on more from here because the video really shows some cool functionality waiting for a convenient, standardized port.

AMD’s versatile DockPort connection opens up a world of possibilities, like a portable hub where you can charge, transform, accessorize and otherwise connect your device in an all-in-one solution, reducing cable clutter and bringing data and display connectivity to your notebook or tablet via a single, DockPort supported DisplayPort link.

DockPort was developed as a partnership between AMD and Texas Instruments. The VESA specification will finalize in Q2 2014.
