High-definition home entertainment is a large and growing sector within the huge CE industry. Yet to fulfill its vast promise, the HD ecosystem requires a cost-effective, long-reach connectivity technology to enhance market penetration and customer satisfaction.

Valens' next-generation connectivity technology – HDBaseT^TM – is designed to keep the HD market thriving for years to come. The innovative patent-pending technology is the first to enable long-reach wired connectivity of uncompressed HD multimedia content over a single standard Cat-5e/6 cable. Supporting full HD applications up to 1080p, HDBaseT transfers up to 8Gbps of uncompressed HD all-digital video and audio over long distances up to 100m. As a result, HDBaseT is positioned to become the leading physical layer technology for last-leg wired connectivity between HD multimedia stream sources, such as set-top boxes (STBs), DVDs and PCs, and HD display monitors, such as flat-panel LCD/plasma HDTVs.

HDBaseT delivers significant value to the entire home entertainment ecosystem – from CE/PC equipment manufacturers and audio/video connectivity product suppliers, through systems integrators and retailers, to installers and consumers. Unlike existing wired connectivity technologies, HDBaseT enables easy long-reach connectivity of high-performance HD devices over cost-effective Cat-5e/6 cables. And compared to emerging wireless technologies, HDBaseT offers superior performance and robustness at the lowest system cost. Delivering improved quality, enhanced reliability and future-proof interoperability, HDBaseT unleashes the full potential of uncompressed HD connectivity.
