PrintMarket Applications Using Icron USB and Video Extension Solutions
With USB as the most successful interface in the history of computing, chances are USB is being used in most commercial and industrial settings today. Keyboards, mice, monitors, hard drives, mobile phones, medical imaging, gaming consoles, factory assembly, military communications, digital advertising signs, milling equipment, security cameras, mining equipment, oil rigs, post production editing machines and many more – USB has made its presence felt with over 10 billion devices shipped to date.
