IT/AV and HDBaseT
™
HDBaseT has become a key technology that enables audiovisual signal extension
to high definition displays and projectors. HDBaseT 5Play™ extends HDMI
®
video
and audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, control, and power up to 100 meters on a single
category-rated twisted-pair cable. Category cable is not only faster and simpler
to install than traditional HDMI cables, it is also more cost effective.
AV signals over HDBaseT look much like the 10GBASE-T data signals you encounter
every day — they are just a little less forgiving. HDBaseT is packet based like Ethernet,
but it doesn’t have a retransmission mechanism, so there is no recovery from packet
errors. You can avoid pixelation or complete video dropout due to packet errors by
using the right cabling.
A key feature of HDBaseT 5Play is the ability to power transmitter and receiver devices
over the category cable link using PoH. Typical power levels used are only 10-15 watts,
but the system is capable of supporting the full 100 watts in compliance with the IEEE
PoE+ standard. A Category 6A connectivity system is recommended.
