Daniel’s Thoughts

“What a great question. The ability to extend truly uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video over a single field terminated category cable. Well, that’s already a big deal for residential AV installs, for eSports, and of course for immersive experiences. However, where we really see HDBaseT 3.0 making, another major difference is in the field of unified communications and collaboration.

So, we’re talking about video conferencing as well as the new normal that is distance and hybrid learning. So, this is where HDBaseT 3.0’s ability to provide professional grade USB extension, including power delivery, is a real needle mover. This is especially important in ever popular and growing bring your own device or BYOD installations where simple plug and play operation is a real requirement.

Now, there are many use cases for this, of course, including corporate meeting rooms, huddle spaces, school classrooms, as well as university lecture halls. And the HDBaseT Alliance ensures product interoperability across an ecosystem of more than 200 member companies mitigating supply chain challenges and other equipment availability delays.

It’s all backward compatible, of course, making existing HDBaseT infrastructures easily upgradeable to the highest common feature set, which results in cost saving opportunities for both installers as well as their clients.”
