Valens Semiconductor Announce New Reference Design for the Transmission of Display Port over HDBaseT

Valens has developed a new reference design solution for transmitting Display Port audio and video over HDBaseT together with ST Microelectronics. The solution will be demonstrated this week at the HDBaseT Alliance's booth at the Integrated Systems Europe 2013 conference (Hall 7, Booth #7C171).

The HDBaseT technology features the unique 5Play™ feature set that enables the delivery of uncompressed high definition video, audio, Internet, controls and power over a single cat5e/6 cable up to 100 meters, eliminating the common issues professional installers face concerning cable distance and location of available power outlets.

Until now, HDBaseT products were mainly transmitting HDMI and/or DVI. The new ST-Valens solution provides professional installers and systems integrators with the flexibility of being able to use the commonly-used Display Port interface.

Valens developed this solution in response to the growing demand for display port solutions, enabling customers to benefit HDBaseT's convergence and long distance capabilities with Display Port.

The new Display Port over HDBaseT reference design solution uses ST DP2650 and STD2600 chipset and Valens' VS100 chipset to transmit uncompressed video and audio over a single CAT5e/6 cable. It facilitates the transmission of Display port over long distances, in a simple, plug-and-play manner.
