  • Based on Valens HDBaseT technology, Panasonic's Digital Link is embedded in the PT-VW431DU, allowing a single cable to transmit uncompressed videos signals, audio, and control commands up to 100m (328ft). The need for an external receiver is eliminated when the PT-VW431DU is used together with Panasonic's new ET-YFB100 switcher box or other switchers with HDBaseT chipset.

    Panasonic has partnered with industry-leading manufacturers of HDBaseT solutions including Crestron, Extron, and AMX, to insure the interoperability of PT-VW431DU with Crestron's DigitalMedia 8G+ compatible switchers, Extron's XTP Systems and AMX's Enova DVX and DGX Digital Media Switchers.

    It can be alternative for SDI in prosumer cameras. Cat 5e cable is, of course, less reliable than coaxial one, but implementation can be cheaper and very long length can be used by studios.

  • Panasonic has joined the HDBaseT Alliance as a contributor member. The HDBaseT Alliance is a consortium of companies that works to promote and standardize HDBaseT technology.

    Although this is its first day as a member of the HDBaseT Alliance, Panasonic has played an integral role in the development of the HDBaseT technology since its introduction in 2010, and offers a number of HDBaseT-enabled projectors and commercial displays.

    “Panasonic is not just a strong advocate for HDBaseT, it is also a market-leading provider of HDBaseT-enabled components, that has played and will continue to play a critical role in growing the ecosystem of HDBaseT products” says Micha Risling, marketing chair of the HDBaseT Alliance. “Its success with integrating HDBaseT into projectors and professional displays reflects the success the HDBaseT Alliance has enjoyed in terms of growing to more than 80 members offering solutions that enable end-to-end deployment of HDBaseT.”

    Panasonic offers a diverse selection of nearly 20 HDBaseT-enabled projectors and displays, including a 1080p lamp-free professional projector with HDBaseT
