HDBaseT finalizes tech specs for new HD standard
The six-month old HDBaseT Alliance has finalized technical specifications for its A/V cable standard called HDBaseT, which it hopes will replace the HDMI standard. It would carry signals over standard Cat 5e/6 Ethernet network cables as long as 328 feet. The format could also mix data and video, as it could take HD and 3D video signals in addition to a regular 100Mbps network.

LG, Samsung, Sony and Valens found HDBaseT
LG, Samsung, Sony Pictures and Valens Semiconductor have partnered to launch the HDBaseT Alliance in order to create a new standard that would allow users to send uncompressed HD videos throughout their homes using their Ethernet cables. The alliance hopes to create a worldwide standard that will eventually be used in TVs, projectors, AV and home theater equipment, as well as content providers and IT companies, among others. The companies feel this is necessary as current technologies are limited in bandwidth and don't support uncompressed video.
