HDMI is Dead. Introducing HDBaseT Networking

[highfigh]

Rhymes with click and we both have one.

I don't know where you hang out but I don't have any bugs.

This is a family-oriented forum. Try to keep it clean, OK?

Yeah, good luck with that. WiFi is only 54MB/sec (802.11G) and 802.11n is only about 160MB/sec. I doubt 20GB/sec will be here in 3 years.

I don't see it as that big of a problem. But wireless brings other issues far more challenging than bandwidth. They can shrink network size for the sake of greater bandwidth.

Oldest thing on YouTube with HDbaseT is from March of 2009.

Seems then they had only 30Watts running across it.

Yeah I guess it is somewhat of a petting zoo, with monkeys and dawgs, and other wild creatures that roam around....

this is a good move; 'm tired of seeing too many wires gatherin' dust from all over the place.

It's exciting to hear that technology is taking another advancement forward, but it's kind of disheartening at the same time...

When Home Theatres first came to the foray, it was Coaxial and Composite.
Then Component and SVideo.
Then DVI and HDMI.
Now HDbaseT (?)

In another year, they will be bragging up an even better technology.

And with the new ruling of the FCC to permit PC vendors to meddle with Super WiFi on the now-unused analog TV airwaves, it is likely that that meddling will open up the doors to numerous other advances in wireless technology.

(Ie. wireless power, wireless video signals, etc...) And by wireless power, I mean on a larger scale than those little Energizer power station things.

Here's a link regarding the Super WiFi for anyone that may be interested:

My question is "Why did they ever come up with HDMI in the first place?" A Cat5/6 connection was possible all the time. $$$$$, ¿No?

HDMI - quite possibly the worst thing to happen to HT in the last 20 years.

Well Cedia 2011 is here. Any news on HDbaseT?
