Yes, this is a really big issue. Most of us aren't too keen on replacing TV or projector, receiver, satellite decoder, DVR and so on costing many hundreds or even several thousands of € just because a new effing type of connector appeared on the market.Or the consumers that already have dozens of devices/cables using existing standards.
Yeah, well, I read this new standard is supposedly able to carry device power as well (probably only a limited amount, say enough for your decoder). So I wanna see what happens when some knucklehead joe schmoe plugs that HDBaseT RJ45 cable into his PC, or his router instead of his TV... Pretty sure things will fry good if there's a supply voltage now on that connector in addition to just data.This isn't going to save anyone any money for a long long time assuming it even catches on.

They really should change the connector to something that can't be plugged into the wrong gear and possibly wrecking it.

Older equipment doesn't fry if you plug it into a switch that supports power over ethernet either.
Using standard UTP cabling and RJ45 connectors just makes sense to me. It's cheap, unobtrusive, can easily go anywhere and it is already widely deployed so you can reuse existing stretches. Being able to cover 300 feet distances is a great improvement as well.
And some new standard emerging doesn't mean HDMI and the like will vanish overnight. Noone's forced to upgrade. Heck to this day you can still use a D-SUB VGA connector for most anything if you really want to.
Sounds a bit silly to me, why not just go MM fiber and forget about EMI forever? 10GigE optics are really inexpensive these days.
Could you link me to those "inexpensive" 10G XFP's?
I use those on a daily basis (I work for an ISP) and I havn't seen a 10G XFP I would call cheap yet?
In my book they range from +$500 (for 1) to +$2000...if you want something that is not of a shady grade?
Right that makes more senseThe cable can pass HD and 3-D video signals, as well as data through an integrated 100MBit Ethernet connection.
It's Dailytech, most likely the story is a fabrication anyway.
Why would tech manufacturers, as well as retail, give up both the much ballyhood encryption in HDMI, and the high priced HDMI cable markups? To this day I'm pretty sure both major consoles refusing to include an HDMI cable is a nod to retail.

Did you even read my post? The first hardware is already out there.
The cable doesn't enforce the encryption, the protocols and the chipsets do. This thing is legit. Just check the official websites etc.
I noticed the first Sony equipment is already out there supporting this new standard:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/sonys-2010-es-line-includes-3d-and-excludes-a-lot-of-retailers/
At the top of the line the STR-DA5600ES ships in September for $2,000 and is able to automatically calibrate audio for speaker types (like last year's), plus locations and angles, function as a DLNA Live Audio server itself and stream audio and video to other rooms via HDMI (six in, two out) or CAT5e.
.A new AV standard - HDBaseT - has been jointly developed by the surreptitiously formed industry group that comprises: LG Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Samsung Electronics, and Valens Semiconductor
that not only is Apple complicit in the development of Light Peak, but the company actually brought the concept to Intel and asked them to create it. More to the point, the new standard will play a hugely important role in upcoming products from Cupertino.
According to documents we've seen and conversations we've had, Apple had reached out to Intel as early as 2007 with plans for an interoperable standard which could handle massive amounts of data and "replace the multitudinous connector types with a single connector (FireWire, USB, Display interface)."
Based on the documents we had a look at, the short-term plans seem to involve a one-size-fits-all solution (somehow allowing for multiple connections but avoiding "double dongles") which would enable users to connect a variety of devices into a single Light Peak port, while slightly longer-term plans will mean Light Peak obviates the need for almost every type of connector you use today. Translation: Apple products in the near future could come equipped with only a Light Peak port (or ports) to handle your networking, display driving, and general connectivity.
Citation needed ... even WHDI is uncompressed (they just use more redundancy on more significant bitplanes) so I seriously doubt this is.To answer other posts, the HDMI video is compressed. There is a standard for this by;
