The 5 A/V Technologies that Will Define the Next 5 Years

It is widely understood that analog A/V connectivity faces a short future with a rapidly declining applicability. Most industry experts agree that composite, component and VGA A/V connections will be largely irrelevant and obsolete by 2017. With a digital future rapidly approaching, it is critical that system integrators, designers, owners and operators understand the infrastructure and connectivity choices that are necessary to facilitate a smooth and seamless transition into the next generation of A/V technology. In this one hour presentation we will explore the 5 technologies, both wired and wireless, that will deliver the greatest effect on deployment of the last 100 meters of digital video infrastructure over the next 5 years.

12. PRODUCT LINE DisplayPort DisplayPort is the global format for accessing AV content from IT devices DisplayPort can move seamlessly into (and out of) the HDMI format for unified connectivity DisplayPort supports Multi-Stream Technology 100%+ market growth for 2015 over 2014 At least 30% CAGR thru 2018
13. PRODUCT LINE • More efficient power use • Ideally adapted to high- volume fabrication techniques • Inherently capable of multi- streaming – Transport multiple independent display, audio and data streams over a single cable to 10 meters • Scalable DisplayPort Advantages Copyright 2014 by InfoComm International®
14. PRODUCT LINE HDMI HDMI is the standard for accessing AV content from multimedia devices Limited to 20 meters direct connectivity HDMI industry growth is projected to be nearly 20% CAGR Installed base is nearly 4 billion units, will double to 8 billion units by 2018
15. PRODUCT LINE MOBILE INTEGRATION “The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes
16. PRODUCT LINE MHL Mobile High Definition Link Established in 2010 by Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba Uses an HDMI connector to integrate mobile devices with fixed A/V assets Current installed base more than 300 million devices Projected to reach 1.2 billion devices by 2016
17. PRODUCT LINE What Does MHL Do? Runs efficiently – uses less battery life than wireless connectivity Fully HDCP compliant Scalable to UltraHD Maintains USB support for storage and HID devices No lag or compression when playing music, videos or gaming
18. PRODUCT LINE A/V STRUCTURED WIRING “The shortest distance between two points is under construction.” - Noelie Altito
19. PRODUCT LINE HDBaseT HDBaseT is a global standard for advanced digital media distribution 100 meter connectivity based on TIA standards and practices Any HDBaseT certified product will work with any other HDBaseT certified product 2013 installed base more than 4 million devices Will more than quintuple to 21 million installed units by 2016!
20. PRODUCT LINE HDBaseT 2.0 Reflects The OSI Model Copyright 2014 by InfoComm International®
