How exactly and which technology does HDBaseT work with?

HDBaseT is based on a technology called 5Play, which transmits various data over a single cable. The 5Play technology includes transmission of uncompressed high-definition video and audio signals, Ethernet data, control signals and power supply (Power-over-Ethernet) over a single cable connection.

Transmission is over a physical layer that uses the specifications of 1000BASE-T Ethernet connections. This means that HDBaseT supports a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbit/s and a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters can be achieved when using Cat 5e/6 cables.

Video and audio signals are transmitted uncompressed, which allows for higher image quality and lower latency compared to other compressed formats. Ethernet data is also transmitted without compression.

Another important feature of HDBaseT is its support for power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows HDBaseT devices to be powered over the cable, making installation and maintenance easier.

In summary, HDBaseT is based on a physical layer that uses Ethernet specifications to transmit various types of data over a single cable. The transmission of video, audio, Ethernet, control and power data is uncompressed and can be carried over long distances.
