HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interface is the most common video/audio interface for computers, TVs, and other CE devices, its outstanding performance has greatly attracted ce vendors. Although HDMI is very red, it also has inherent shortcomings:
- Extended during switchover. After switching to HDMI when watching HD movies or TVs, users have a long wait time.
- The length of the HDMI cable is limited. The signal quality can only be kept several meters long, generally less than 5 meters.
- HDMI can only transmit non-compressed audio and video signals.
Wireless technology, such as wiggg, whdi, and wireless HD, provides an HDMI solution, but its biggest problem is that it cannot transmit power (without a power transmission channel ). Composed of Sony, Samsung, LG, and Wallens Semiconductors
The hdbaset alliance developed the hdbaseh solution to solve the above problems.
Hdbaset is a standard based on network transmission. It is usually called 5 playtm.
. It uses a simple transmission line to transmit high-definition audio and video, power (up to 100 W), Ethernet and control first. Compared with HDMI, its transmission line is cat5e/6 type, which is cheap and has a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters. More universal is that its interface is universal RJ-45 head (twisted pair head), capable of delivering HD videos, 3D, and up to 2 k x 4 K (4096x2160).
For specific specifications, see Figure 1:

It is not hard to see that in addition to using the network, it can also transmit power and have a long signal transmission distance. The low cost of the transmission line and the absence of the required video/audio data format inherit the advantages of HDMI and overcome the three main disadvantages, which will become the ultimate killer of HMDI.
