Agenda A/V Infrastructure Design Simplified. Trends: Analog to Digital Connectivity & Cables Challenges & Solutions
What is A/V? Education Conference Room Digital Signage A/V Point-to-point connectivity supporting signal transmission between source devices and video displays with audio support Huddle Space Separate from data network Hospitality Healthcare 8
Industry A/V Trends Increasing resolution & bandwidth: HD, 4k, 8k Digital replacing analog (VGA) HDMI & DisplayPort replacing VGA (desktop/projectors) HDBaseT IEEE industry standard over 4- pair category cabling Interactive Screen Technology New universal connectivity for A/V and power: USB 3.1 Type C
Current Video Interfaces RJ45 HD Base-T 10
Video Basics Video is made of pixels What is a PIXEL? 11
Pixel size and counts within the same sized display 1280 pixels across Resolution (Assuming 16:9 ratio) 1280 x 720 720 pixels down 1920 pixels across 1920 x 1080 Also known as HD 1080 pixels down CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 12
Increasing Bandwidth: 1080p & 4K & 8K Full high definition Ultra high definition 8 million pixels 8K 1920 x 1080: 1080P 3840 x 2160: 4K 1080 x 7680: 8K
A/V: Analog vs. Digital Source Display/Sink Older technology Newer technology 14
Let s start with Analog AV 15
Analog AV: Separate Video and Audio Connection Video only Computer Video/HD15 (a.k.a. VGA) Composite Video/RCA Jack S-Video/4-pin Mini Din Component Video / 3 RCA Jacks (red/green/blue) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) / DVI Also supports digital video Audio only PC Audio/3.5 mm Jack RCA (stereo) / RCA Jack 16
Analog Video Computer Video High Density: 3 rows of 5 pins - VGA VGA resolution can range from 640 x 400 pixels Common on older computers, monitors, projectors 17
Audio Only Analog Connectivity RCA Red and white color Commonly found on A/V equipment 3.5mm Commonly found on Computers and portable devices like phones, media players, tablets. 18
Now let s look at Digital AV. 19
Digital AV: Technology / Connector Video & Audio HDMI DisplayPort HDBase-T / 8P8C RJ-45 CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 20
Digital Video Connectivity - HDMI HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface Video and Audio High definition Most common digital connector used with current consumer electronics (flatscreen, projectors, cable TV
Digital Video Connectivity - Display Port Display Port Similar look and feel as HDMI Found mostly on computers High definition video & Stereo audio 2 Types: DisplayPort & Mini-DisplayPort Multi-format, Multi-streaming Mini DisplayPort DisplayPort
HDBaseT Source HDBaseT Sink 100m/328ft Cat5e/6 cable HDBaseT Alliance adopted by IEEE Distance limited by video content & resolution Not on the LAN!
HDBaseT 5 Play HDBaseT Source Video Ethernet Power 100m of C5e/C6/C6A Audio Control HDBaseT Sink Digital video and audio at UltraHD performance levels Fast Ethernet (PAM16) Up to 100W of power (PoH) Needs a transmitter and receiver
USB 3.0 (5Gb/s) 2008 USB Standards USB 2.0 (480Mb/s) 2000 USB 3.1 (10Gb/s) 2013
USB Port Types
USB 3.1 Standard & Port Type C
Adapters & Boosters USB-C to HDMI or VGA Audio/Video Adapter Kit for Apple MacBook USB to HDMI, VGA, Display Port, HDBaseT HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet Adapter Kit for Microsoft Surface
Connectivity - Pathways Floor Work Surface Raceway Wall
Non-Active Transmission Distances USB 3.1 Type C USB 3.0 & 3.1 Gen 1 USB 1.1 & 2.0 Displayport HDMI Distance in meters* 0 5 10 15 20 25 *Note: Multiply meters by 3 to approximate distance in feet. 30
