Example of HDBaseT

A centralized Apple TV, cable box, or media player can be routed to the kitchen, bedroom, theater, or patio with the correct remote controls in each room. In that kind of Davis distributed video project, the term HDBaseT would describe a professional AV transport technology that can carry audio, video, control, Ethernet, USB, and power over category cable for long distances. Davis would use that understanding to account for source locations, matrix or switching equipment, cabling, remotes, and room-by-room source access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
