— Higher bandwidth, more flexibility, better performance to address the needs of the ProAV sector –
— The HDBaseT Alliance hosts several members in its stand, showcasing their latest
interoperable HDBaseT products and solutions —
InfoComm 2019, Orlando, FL, June 11th, 2019 – The HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry association tasked with promoting and advancing the HDBaseT standard, is finalizing the HDBaseT Spec 3.0, the latest and most advanced version of the HDBaseT standard. Spec 3.0 builds upon the definitions stipulated in Spec 2.0, with major changes in the physical layer (PHY) and USB outlining. In addition, Spec 3.0 will bring additional improvements to other interfaces.
Backward compatible with previous specifications, Spec 3.0 includes:
- 16Gbps bandwidth over a single category cable, enabling distribution of fully uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 for up to 100m/328ft
- Low power mode/standby mode
- Support for HDMI1.4, HDMI2.0 and HDCP2.3
- Support of 1Gb Ethernet and enhanced USB2.0 bandwidth
“The HDBaseT Alliance is deeply attuned to the needs of the market, and the need for a 4K uncompressed solution is clear,” said Ariel Sobelman, President, HDBaseT Alliance. “By defining Spec 3.0, the Alliance continues to provide installers and integrators with the most flexible, interoperable, and advanced solution for the best possible performance.”
At InfoComm 2019, Valens, an HDBaseT Alliance founder and the inventor of HDBaseT technology, will be showcasing its revolutionary VS3000 Configurable Transceiver chipset (part of its latest family, Valens Stello), which complies to Spec 3.0.
“Valens’ VS3000 enables the distribution of uncompressed HDMI2.0 over long distances,” said Gabi Shriki, Sr. Vice President and Head of the Audio-Video Business at Valens. “The VS3000 is the most integrated product in the market today, enabling the leading AV vendors to design products with better quality, higher flexibility, and significant cost reduction.”
