HDBaseT Explained

noreply@blogger.com (The Enright Company) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:51:00 +0000

by Mike Konkle - Intelix Chief Technology Officer

HDBaseT is an exciting and groundbreaking technology, allowing several cables between a source and a destination to be consolidated into a single LAN cable. Furthermore, thanks to robust processing, high-definition signals can be transmitted further and more reliably over twisted pair than ever before.

Is HDBaseT right for every application? No. There are other technologies currently on the market which provide similar capabilities - the Intelix DIGI-HD-COAX, for example, transmits HDMI up to 675 feet (1080i over RG6) over a single coaxial cable and traditional HDMI over twisted pair extenders are great solutions for shorter runs (under 200 feet) - but many installations will benefit from the HDBaseT offering.

There has been some misunderstanding as to what HDBaseT technology is and, just as important, what it is not. Let's take a closer look at this innovative technology.

What HDBaseT Is
The HDBaseT technology was originally created by Valens Semiconductor to optimize video applications and unify the HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power, and control connections of entertainment devices. In essence, HDBaseT enables a single LAN cable to replace multiple audio-visual cables.

In June 2010, an HDBaseT Alliance was incorporated by leading industry manufacturers, lending credence to the technology and facilitating a far wider adoption.

Fully implemented, HDBaseT provides the following capabilities:

    * Uncompressed video/audio up to 10.2 Gbps. (Full HD/3D and 4K x2K uncompressed video)
    * Maximum cable lengths of 100m, including support of multiple hops, up to 8 x 100m
    * Use of industry standard Cat5e/6 LAN cable
    * Use of a standard RJ45 connector
    * Supplies up to 100W of power (Power over Ethernet)? which can be utilized to power a remote audio-visual device
    * Support for 100Mbps Ethernet
    * Easy installation utilizing existing in-wall Ethernet connectivity (Cat5e/6 & RJ45)
    * USB support
    * HDCP support
    * Networking support (of HDBaseT enabled devices), including extended-range daisy chain and star topologies

These features are enabled through the use of a special encoding algorithm running on a custom designed DSP processor. The processor is essentially the brains behind the technology, inserting or extracting all the various portions of the signal stream - HDMI, Ethernet, IR, etc. Valens puts it simply in the following diagram:

Though the HDBaseT feature list is rich and robust, it is ultimately up to the individual partner manufacture to deploy the portions most relevant to their core audience. Liberty AV Solutions has incorporated into the DIGI-HDE a feature set - HDMI, 3D, IR, RS232, and Ethernet - which directly address the concerns of the AV integrator.

What HDBaseT Is Not
Perhaps the most misunderstood issue surrounding HDBaseT is Ethernet, both in terms of transmission and deployment. HDBaseT does transmit 100Mbp Ethernet - standard 802.3 Ethernet is transported through the system in the same way that the HDMI or RS232 signals are. The signal is inserted into and extracted from the stream (and ultimately the DSP processor) through a standard LAN cable. This is a capability of the hardware.

On the flip side, the HDBaseT signal is incompatible with standard Ethernet LAN switches and routers. Proper deployment requires devices designed for HDBaseT integration.

That said, products which properly deploy HDBaseT technology - such as the Intelix DIGI-HDE- do act as a tunnel for standard Ethernet traffic. Specifically, the transmitted Ethernet signal portion of the stream is compatible with network switches and routers.

One way to think of it is as a cable bundle with a separate RJ45 connector for the Ethernet connection. Ethernet is fed into the HDBaseT transmission device (Intelix DIGI-HDE transmitter) and extracted from the HDBaseT receive device (Intelix DIGI-HDE receiver). Once extracted, the Ethernet signal can be sent through switchers, routers, or any other standard LAN device.

Intelix DIGI-HDE
The Intelix DIGI-HDE extender set is an exciting new product and the first by Liberty AV Solutions to leverage HDBaseT technology to transmit HDMI, Ethernet, bi-directional IR and RS232 over a single twisted pair cable up to 300 feet. Furthermore, this innovative solution supports 1080p, 4K x 2K, and 3D video.

Intelix has been a recognized and respected brand for twisted pair and coax transmission solutions for over a decade. Extensive HDMI experience led to the introduction of the DIGI-HD-COAX, the industry's first HDMI over RG6 extender solution. The HDBaseT protocol provides an innovative method for HDMI distribution - one that expands transmission capabilities, distances and bandwidth, while delivering flexibility and ease-of-use for installers.

In addition, the following design features were incorporated with the professional integrator in mind:

    *     Built-in HDshak processing
    *     HDCP compliant
    *     HDMI v1.4 compliant
    *     Built-in surge protection up to 16 kV
    *     Diagnostic LEDs
    *     Durable metal chassis
    *     Built-in mounting system

These features along with crucial HDBaseT capabilities make the Intelix DIGI-HDE perfect for digital signage, residential, retail, hospitality, education, government, house of worship, and transportation applications. Planned release date is September 1.

Intelix is a wholly owned division of Liberty AV Solutions (www.libav.com) and both of course are represented by The Enright Company.

Why Digital Signage?

noreply@blogger.com (The Enright Company) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:47:00 +0000

by Gunter Woodson - Tightrope Media Systems

Once you start paying attention, digital signage systems are everywhere. Since joining Tightrope Media Systems (www.trms.com) and managing a digital signage dealer channel, I’ve noticed them at airports, hotels, schools, retail establishments and restaurants. Actually, they seem to be omnipresent. When I see the systems in action, I like to think about the features the system offers and how it is meeting the needs of the customer. But who is the customer and what vertical market are they in?

For starters, the consumer can be practically anyone in any vertical market. Take a school for instance. The customer (let’s say the viewer of the signage in this case) could be a student or the faculty. Heck, it could even janitorial staff or visitors to the school. The wonderful thing about digital signage is that you can target multiple different groups. Say you want to communicate specific and relevant information to the students or you want to let the faculty know some new policies. Just put the appropriate information on the screens where they will be viewed by the target audience, and BOOM, you have given the correct information to those that need it. There is confusion everywhere so why would you not want to erase that confusion with applicable information?

Tightrope Digital Signage

But often the trick can be maintaining the content that goes the screens. The worst piece of digital signage that you could ever think about purchasing is one that is difficult to use. One that has a clunky interface where users might become a little intimidated. For 14 years at Tightrope, one of our goals has been to make the easiest solution to use. We want less technical people like secretaries, volunteers, and students to maintain the system. If they can and are excited to do so, they will create the dynamic content that draws people to the screen and communicates the needed information. After all, this is why you want digital signage in the first place, right? Dispelling the chaos with appropriate information makes everything run smoothly.

Polycom RealPresence™ Mobile Brings HD Collaboration to Tablets

noreply@blogger.com (The Enright Company) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:31:00 +0000

PLEASANTON, CA (June, 2011) - Polycom, www.polycom.com, goes mobile with first enterprise software solution for Apple, Motorola Mobility, and Samsung Tablets that lets users enjoy HD Video Collaboration from anywhere.

Polycom® RealPresence Mobile is a new, free-to-download software solution that extends video collaboration beyond the office and conference room to your Apple iPad 2, Motorola XOOM and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Now you can use a tablet to connect and collaborate with colleagues, partners, customers, students, patients – anyone, anywhere, anytime with HD audio, video and content-sharing.
·    Free yourself from the office and conference room
·    Stay connected with a single communication stream
·    Make multipoint calls whether you’re within the firewall or roaming
·    Take charge by taking video conferencing with you wherever you go

Delivering Polycom video to mobile platforms is a key component of the company's recently announced software strategy to bring secure HD video collaboration to the broadest range of business, video, mobile, and social networking applications.

"RealPresence Mobile is a significant step toward achieving our vision to make it possible for millions of people to use video collaboration as their preferred method of communicating – easily, reliably, and securely – no matter what network, carrier, protocol, application, or device they use," said Andy Miller, president and CEO of Polycom. "I've met with a hundred customers the past few months, and nearly every executive I talk with is looking to embrace mobility and tablets to improve business productivity. Customers who have seen our mobile applications running on Apple, Motorola, and Samsung tablets are truly inspired by the possibilities Polycom is enabling by extending video collaboration beyond the traditional boundaries of the conference room and desktop."

Now, whether in the field or on the road, in an airport lounge or working from home, or wherever business leads, customers can use a tablet to connect and collaborate face-to-face with colleagues, customers, partners, and suppliers. RealPresence Mobile allows customers to leverage Polycom's UC infrastructure to harness the benefits of video collaboration, increase the industry's highest ROI even further, and unleash the powerful network effect of HD video collaboration.

Drivers of the Visual Mobile Society
The network effect is already spreading video to the masses as human culture and technology becomes increasingly visual. The latest generation has been raised on video and social connectedness – 3 billion YouTube videos are streamed daily.1 Within this context, it's not surprising that video conferencing is also on the rise. UC and video collaboration is increasingly recognized as a mission-critical capability for businesses and a solution that pays for itself within months by reducing travel expenses while improving teamwork, collaborative decision making, organizational productivity, and employee and customer engagement.

Polycom(r) RealPresence(tm) Platform software update connects non-standard TIP TelePresence Systems to standards-based video systems, extends interoperability across UC environments

Polycom, Inc., the global leader in standards-based unified communications (UC), announced a new software update to the Polycom(r) RealPresence(tm) Platform that allows customers using Polycom and other standards-based video collaboration solutions to join calls with non-standard Cisco telepresence systems, and vice-versa. The latest RealPresence Platform software update, released today, also further extends interoperability across Microsoft and IBM UC environments.

Affordable interoperability. The Polycom software helps reduce costs and complexity by eliminating the need for gateways and licenses.

Ease of use. By deploying the Polycom(r) RMX(r) universal collaboration server within the platform, organizations can connect non-standard TIP systems to multi-party calls-simply by dialing into a video conference virtual meeting room.

Reliable, enterprise-quality multi-party collaboration. Polycom's virtualization management capabilities (Polycom(r) DMA(tm) 7000) efficiently distribute calls across massively scaled networks, while auto failover protections ensure that services remain available even if servers go down.

Investment Protection. Organizations can add standards-based Polycom video solutions that work seamlessly with existing equipment.

Broadening the Reach of the First Open 'Video Cloud'
Polycom's latest software update also benefits the fast-growing community of "video as a service" providers. For enterprises and service providers alike, increased interoperability is a valuable roadblock-remover, as demonstrated by the newly incorporated Open Visual Communications Consortium(tm) (OVCC(tm)). The OVCC is an independent, expanding group of global video exchange providers, network providers, and equipment providers that was co-conceived by Polycom and leading global service providers to expand open video communications across any network, vendor platform, and device.

Hall Research Announces Audio Delay Box with Digital and Analog I/O

noreply@blogger.com (The Enright Company) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 16:00:00 +0000

TUSTIN, CA - Hall Research, www.hallresearch.com, announces the release of the AD-340 Universal Audio Delay Processor. This compact device can add delay to stereo as well as multi-channel bitstream Audio signals. Audio delay has traditionally played an important role in large venue sound reinforcement systems, however the increasing prevalence of high definition video has created a new niche due to the time required to process HD video causing lip-sync issues. The AD-340 provides both analog (L/R) and digital (SPDIF) inputs and outputs, enabling conversion between analog stereo to LPCM or vice versa.

For advanced control, the AD-340 connects to a PC via USB port. No special drivers are needed and Hall Research provides a free software utility that allows advanced features such as: selection of sample rate for analog inputs, temperature compensation of delay calculation for a given distance, and gain level control of analog inputs and outputs. The AD-340 is designed and manufactured in Southern California and is available at a suggested retail price of $295.

noreply@blogger.com (The Enright Company) — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:33:00 +0000

ProductionVIEW HD MV offers the same functionality as Vaddio’s, www.vaddio.com, existing ProductionVIEW HD, with the addition of multiviewer capabilities and digital inputs/outputs. Combined with the new Multiviewer Touchscreens, you can easily switch all live feeds and create up to 12 “video thumbnails” of preset shots by simply touching the monitor.

ProductionVIEW HD MV
ProductionVIEW HD MV is a 6 x 2 multi-format, seamless video mixer that also provides two discrete outputs for dual bus program feeds (two independent 6 x 1 mixers). Input signals include analog HD YPbPr video, RGBHV, SD (Y/C and CVBS), and Input 6 provides a DVI-I input for RGBHV, DVI-D and HDMI. The Program and Preview outputs have both analog (YPbPr, RGBHV, Y/C & CVBS) and digital (DVI-D & HDMI) outputs. HD resolutions up to 1080/60p are supported.

Camera control features include a broadcast-style 3-axis/1-button Hall Effect Joystick with twist handle zoom control, as well as separate Pan, Tilt and Speed control knobs. There are six discrete auto-sensing RS-232 camera control ports. A wide variety of transitions can be achieved through user-selectable buttons built into the control surface. The Lower Screen Graphic (LSG) function allows users to overlay computer graphics onto the program video output.

TeleTouch Multiviewer Touchscreens
The new TeleTouch Multiviewer Touchscreen Monitors allow you to easily see and switch all live video feeds and create “video thumbnails” with finger-touch control. The multiviewer can be configured to display up to six input windows and two larger “Preview” and “Program” windows with red and green tally window borders. The Preview output is configurable for analog and digital outputs and allows for either a standard preview outputs or the multiviewer output. The TeleTouch Touchscreen Monitors are available in two sizes: 18.5-inch rack-mount or a standard 22-inch with base.
