The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Boards approves the HDBaseT specifications 1.1.0 and 2.0 for adoption as part of the IEEE standard portfolio at CES 2015.

“The adoption by IEEE will help enhance HDBaseT’s impact and influence in today’s connected world," the HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry group behind the standard, says. "We will be working together to further develop the HDBaseT technology for the benefit of HDBaseT’s and IEEE’s enormous constituency.”

HDBaseT enables the all-in-one transmission of UHD/4K video over a single 100m Cat6, with uncompressed 4K video, audio, USB, ethernet, control signals and up to 100W of power. As a result it simplifies cabling, enhances ease-of-use and accelerates UHD connectivity solution deployment.

The approval of the HDBaseT standard's adoption within the IEEE portfolio should take place by February 2015.
