HDBaseT in Line for Adoption as Part of IEEE Standards Portfolio

HDBaseT for Ultra HD digital connectivity is in line to be adopted as part of the IEEE standards portfolio, said the IEEE Standards Association and the HDBaseT Alliance Tuesday at CES. HDBaseT enables all-in-one transmission of Ultra HD video through a single 100-meter Cat6 cable, delivering uncompressed 4K video, audio, USB, ethernet, control signals and up to 100 watts of power, the groups said. HDBaseT “simplifies cabling, enhances ease-of-use, and accelerates deployment of ultra-high-definition connectivity solutions,” the groups said. IEEE’s adoption of the standard, once complete, “will help enhance HDBaseT's impact and influence in today's connected world,” they said. IEEE voting on the HDBaseT standard adoption is expected this month, with final approval by February, they said.
