It's a HDBaseT world… and AV2events are the Guardians of its Galaxy!

AV2events becomes one of the UK’s first HDBaseT installation experts

On 21 April 2016 we were fortunate enough to be invited onto, and complete, one of the UK’s inaugural HDBaseT installation expert courses in Leeds. The course was provided by the HDBaseT Alliance in conjunction with CIE Group, the UK’s leading provider of innovative AV and electronics equipment to the professional installation and integration sector.

What is HDBaseT?

HDBaseT is widely recognised across commercial and domestic pro AV. The HDBaseT Alliance is a cross-industry organisation formed to promote and advance HDBaseT technology for the distribution of uncompressed ultra-high-definition multimedia content. The Alliance was founded in 2010 by LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Valens.

HDBaseT technology enables the optimised delivery of uncompressed, ultra-high-definition digital media, and allows you to connect all entertainment and content devices throughout the home or business. The cornerstone of HDBaseT is the 5Play™ feature set: uncompressed ultra-high-definition digital video and audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, USB 2.0, up to 100W of power (through Power over HDBaseT, or PoH) and various control signals, all through a single 100m/328ft Cat6 cable. The latest HDBaseT specification also allows fibre as a transmission medium for UHD video and audio, controls, Ethernet and USB, for even greater reach.
