The influence of everyday connectivity and residential standards affects commercial AV both in terms of expectations and technology. HDMI was a step towards offering audio, video, and control in one cable, and recently adding Ethernet sharing, but it has it’s flaw that make it difficult to implement in the commercial realm. A new technology standard has emerged, that offers the promise of making connecting our equipment much easier, and systems design simpler, allowing closer interconnection of devices. This new standard, HDBaseT, was developed as a consumer electronic (CE) connectivity technology optimized for whole-home and commercial multimedia distribution. HDBaseT can connect all the devices in a system, converging uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable and various control signals through a single category cable. This one hour webinar will provide a tutorial on how HDBaseT operates, and its features, including:

•       - Uncompressed video and audio
•       - Long cable runs over standard cable
•        -Power over cable
•       - Easy installation

We will finish with an overview of how it can be used in a system, including review of some real products that utilize this technology.
