Fresh off its CEA Innovations Award win at CES 2012, Atlona touted its LinkCast wireless HD distribution system during Integrated Systems Europe (ISE 2012) in Amsterdam. Based on technology from Amimon (WHDi), the LinkCast system enables the distribution of multiple HDMI sources to multiple displays wirelessly up to 40 feet. The product is aimed primarily at PC-type sources, as a USB port is required for power. The unit supports uncompressed video resolutions up to 1080p HD and 1280x1024, including 3D video, with a latency of less than one millisecond, according… View this story

Over the past several months the momentum behind the HDBaseT transmission technology has grown with several manufacturers adopting the format and releasing new products into the marketplace. The latest company to launch a new HDBaseT product into the professional electronics market is Audio Authority. The Lexington, Kentucky-based manufacturer's new HBT200KIT is a HDBaseT solution that electronics professionals can use to address long-range signal transmission issues in commercial and residential system environments. Audio Authority says the HBT200KIT is capable of sending uncompressed HD video, lossless audio, IR and RS-232 control signals… View this story

HDBaseT was a little quiet this year at CES. The technology, the Alliance, and the developer Valens Semiconductor took shelter in a meeting room … hopefully meeting with major CE brands that want to implement the technology on a broad scale, which we have yet to see. No doubt HDBaseT -- which delivers audio, HD video, Ethernet data, control signals and power over a single Cat 5 cable -- is rock solid and a blessing to home systems integrators and discriminating consumers. It has been employed successfully by several respectable… View this story

We have been blessed lately with a plethora of HDMI switchers that solve some of the worst deficiencies of HDMI: key limitations, switching lags, EDID support, and so many others. Indeed, I’ve written glowing reviews of some of them. But for the most part they don’t solve a big problem that plagues home entertainment systems in general: pesky IR emitters and RS-232 contraptions on the A/V components themselves. Start-up HydraConnect solves all of these problems with the new HSS-1 HDMI switcher ($9,000), shipping this year (specs below). I discovered this… View this story

CEDIA Expo 2011 was two months ago, but the innovations from the event are still fresh. While there were some mind-blowing products like Sony's affordable 4K projector, there were also some more modest developments that signify industry trends: Return of the touchscreens iPad and Android tablets were all over the show floor, as usual, but that doesn’t signify the end of the dedicated touchscreen. Seems they’re actually enjoying a comeback, even in the middle market. Both Control4 and URC introduced new 7-inch touchpanels that look like sleek tablets but act… View this story

HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry alliance formed to promote and standardize HDBaseT technology for whole-home and commercial distribution of uncompressed high definition (HD) multimedia content, today announced it will demonstrate HDBaseT enabled devices in a home entertainment setting at CEDIA EXPO 2011 in Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7-10. The Alliance will simulate a consumer living room installation, illustrating the simplicity of a home theater installation using HDBaseT technology. Using HDBaseT, devices and displays within the home are networked using a single Cat5e/6 LAN cable. Sending the 5Play™ feature set, HDBaseT converges uncompressed,… View this story

As president of Atlantic Technology, Peter Tribeman knows how to make big loudspeakers, but he also knows it's the little things in the field that can make or break an integration business. So he really listened when longtime friend Jay Trieber, owner of Home Theater Concepts in Boston, mentioned his big problem problem with baluns: Too many times his service guys were unable to fix a system because they had the wrong baluns on the truck. When you have lots analog systems installed in the field to service, that wasted… View this story

Valens Semiconductor, a provider of semiconductor products for the distribution of uncompressed high-definition (HD) multimedia content and the inventor of the HDBaseT technology, announced that it has raised $14 million in its latest round of funding. Israel-based Valens’ traction with HDBaseT products in the marketplace contributed to the support from leaders in the global investment community, according to the company. The Series B round of financing comes from a blend of new partners, including Taiwan-based Pegatron and Japan-based Mitsui & Co. Global Investment Ltd., together with new venture capital fund… View this story

HDBaseT was formed about a year ago by several well know manufacturers and other entities. Fast forward and Kordz has just introduced its PLX-HDB.4 HDBaseT Extender that is designed to facilitate the transmission of uncompressed high-speed HDMI, 6-port Ethernet, IR and RS-232 data simultaneously over a single category 5/6 cable up to 100 meters. Kordz says the PLX-HDB.4 can be used with short distance and long-distance cabling runs and the Extender allows for the wiring of multiple source units in a single transmitter and receiver setup with the option of… View this story
