HDMI is Dead. Introducing HDBaseT Networking
HDMI is dead. How can we say this? Because we have seen the future and it is HDBaseT. HDBaseT technology runs over STANDARD Cat5e/6 cable and implements something it calls 5Play, an unrivaled feature-set that converges full uncompressed HD video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, and various control signals. Oh, it also transmits up to 100W of power - that's enough to drive a 37-inch TV. And it can extend up to 100 meters passively. HDBaseT has the bandwidth to support the highest video resolutions such as full HD 1080p as well as 3D and 2Kx4K formats. HDBaseT is the first to provide all-in-one connectivity, making it possible for a single-connector TV to receive power, video/audio, Internet and control signals from the same cable. Think HDMI has a chance? Think again.

Sounds like an interesting alternative to HDMI. Considering the trend for digital storage and networking devices it might have a chance. I'm guessing we'll see a few more HDMI versions (more $ to upgrade) before this takes off. Does anyone know of any limitations or drawbacks to an implementation like this?

I saw this on engadget earlier today. This looks interesting, but where was this like 4 years ago?

Technology sounds awesome and I have high hopes for it, however I has be DRMd before majors studios jump on-board, but I guess Mother of DRM - Sony Pictures are already in so pretty much DRM is guaranteed to be there...
How well these DRM handshakes will work only time will show....

When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

@BoredSysAdmin: With Sony Pictures on board it inspires confidence that studios are going to be OK with it.
@GlocksRock: on the drawing board...
I'm sticking my neck out on this one, I'm that confident this is the way it will go...

I want very much for this to work, I just don't want to buy all new gear to take advantage of it... but I would rather see something wireless that works just as well.
So if this does take off, how long till Monster starts selling severly overpriced Cat6 cables with exaggerated specs?

The tech looks great, but they need a better name. If history has proven anything, a lot of a product's success is determined by the name. HDMI is easily remembered, HDbaseT is not.Originally Posted by Clint DeBoer

Cool, when I rewire the new house, it will be with CAT6 instead of HDMI
