‘‘ solution for every connectivity needs
In recent years , the automotive sector has seen some unprecedented changes , which range from self-driving cars to cars that can communicate with each other . In real life , people want more from their cars , be it from the Heads-Up- Display , or from the Instrument Cluster & Head Unit . Nowadays cars also come with USB connectivity which enables portable devices to be connected with the car . Alongside all these , telecommunications also play a big part in cars nowadays . However , to connect all these together , one needs a robust system , which could perform these tasks every day without any issue . So , here enters the HDBaseT Alliance , which is a non-profit organization comprised of members from LG Electronics , Samsung Electronics , Sony Pictures Entertainment , Valens , Daimler , Delphi , and Harman . The Alliance advances a brilliant solution to the challenges in in-vehicle connectivity with a technology named HDBaseT Automotive , invented by Alliance cofounder Valens . It enables simultaneous tunneling of highthroughput video and data streams , over a single , low-cost unshielded cable , while keeping top performance and low latency in mind .
Revolutionizing Video Distribution Since its inception , HDBaseT has revolutionized the video distribution sector . Along with that , it brings a rich feature set , increased reach and better performance than the solutions that are already present . The best part of the technology is the simultaneous delivery of uncompressed UHD digital video and audio , Ethernet , USB , control signals and power over a single cable . However , HDBaseT is currently being optimized for different markets , while addressing specific needs of sectors such as audiovisual , automotive , industrial PCs , etc . The common needs for these kinds of sectors are distribution of high-quality signals over the best , and lowest-cost infrastructure , as far as possible .
