HDBaseT Alliance to Standardize High-Performance USB 3.2 Extension

The HDBaseT Alliance has announced the standardization of long-reach extension of USB 3.2 connectivity to address the need for a high-bandwidth, low-power, long-reach, compact technology in support of this interface that continues to be popular in AV applications. The new HDBaseT-USB3 standard is set to be implemented as an ASIC solution in the near future, and will empower manufacturers of audiovisual products for the first time ever to natively embed long-reach USB 3.2 and power extension into their products.

Valens, the developer of HDBaseT and founder of the HDBaseT Alliance, announced the availability of the VS200 and VS210 chipsets, for simpler HDBaseT installations where not all 5Play features are necessary. The addition of the VS200 and VS210 to the Valens Colligo family allows HDBaseT equipment vendors to design and manufacture a range of products, from high-end to low-end, using a common hardware platform.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced the recipients of the 67th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards, which will be presented during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Among the winners is Valens Semiconductor, for the “development and standardization of HDBaseT connectivity technology for commercial and residential HDMI/DVI installations”.

The HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry group tasked with promoting and advancing HDBaseT technology, has launched the updated HDBaseT Interoperability App, featuring a complete list of all HDBaseT-certified products, organized by manufacturer and category. The app is available for download for free in both the AppStore and GooglePlay.
