+ - TV business kisses HDMI goodbye-> 1

Submitted by arcticstoat
arcticstoat writes "HDMI's short-lived reign over the TV cable racks could soon be over, thanks to a new usurper that combines several connections into a standard Cat5e/6 network cable with an RJ-45 connector. Designed by a coalition of consumer electronics manufacturers called the HDBaseT Alliance, which includes Sony, Samsung, LG and Valens, HDBaseT promises to not only carry video and audio signals, but also provide a network connection, a USB signal and even electricity using a single cable. The Alliance predicts that we'll start seeing the first HDBaseT equipment creeping into the shops later this year, but says the bigger wave of adoption will occur later in 2011."

    "Hmmm, not everyone hooks up their Blu-Ray player to a network connection, so we can't force 'upgrades', revoke keys, and use the latest DRM on new releases without breaking old hardware Blu-Ray players."
    "I know, let's put video and network over the same cable!"
    "Brilliant!"
