Hurray, soon we will be spared from the numerous interconnect cables constantly getting tangled under their feet and trying to tie themselves up in knots.
The HDBaseT Alliance, which includes LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Valens Semiconductor, on June 29, 2010 developed a specification of a new standard that allows you to transmit audio and video data, control signals, provide Internet connectivity over a standard cable category 5E / 6 as well as provide power to devices with a maximum power consumption of up to 100 watts.
According to the specification, the HDBaseT connection should provide:
Bandwidth for uncompressed video / audio up to 10.2G / s (with the possibility of increasing up to 20G / s)
Ethernet bandwidth up to 100Mb (with acceleration up to 1G / s)
Powering devices up to 100 W
USB support
The maximum length of the connecting cable is up to 100 m, and when using switches up to 800 m.
