International. Valens has announced the availability of testing and certification services for new products incorporating Spec 2.0 of the HDBaseT Standard.
The new testing and certification services conform to the HDBaseT (CTS 2.0) Compliance Test specification for Spec 2.0, which has recently been published and made available to HDBaseT Alliance members.
Spec 2.0 of the HDBaseT standard was released in August 2013, and brings new functionalities to the original standard, such as multi-broadcast, daisy-chaining, support for USB 2.0 and fiber as a new transmission medium. The first Spec 2.0-compliant chipset was released in June 2014 and the first Spec 2.0 products are being introduced to the market now.
"Testing and certification are important frameworks for greater compliance and interoperability between products in a growing HDBaseT ecosystem. We are delighted to provide this service to HDBaseT members as they introduce the first Spec 2.0 products," said Peretz BenHaviv, Head of the Valens Test Center.
"Since the launch of HDBaseT in 2010, the Alliance has focused on the certification, compliance and standardization of HDBaseT products. With the availability of testing and certification for both Spec 1.0 and Spec 2.0, our goal is to certify every HDBaseT product on the market today," said Ariel Sobelman, President of the HDBaseT Alliance.
