The HDBaseT Alliance is showcasing its latest technologies for hybrid work and learning environments at InfoComm 2025 in Orlando. At the heart of its booth is a series of live demonstrations featuring how HDBaseT, powered by Valens Semiconductor, enables flexible, high-performance AV and video conferencing setups across a range of room sizes.

Visitors can explore the Valens High Performance Connectivity Zone, which focuses on extending USB-C and USB3 capabilities for high-resolution video and seamless collaboration. Demonstrations include:

Full-room video conferencing systems with USB-C to USB-C extension
Scalable infrastructures supporting 4K and USB3 devices
Meeting configurations featuring multiple displays, cameras, and sources
Simplified control and connectivity over a single Category cable

A highlight of the booth is a 360° Surround View Experience, a multi-camera demonstration using Valens’ VA7000 chipsets and AI-enhanced imaging to preview applications in immersive entertainment and live events.

Co-exhibitors Acroname, CYP (Cypress Technology), ReThink AV, and TEKVOX will also showcase HDBaseT-compatible solutions, with a focus on USB Type-C connectivity — a rapidly growing standard in modern AV deployments.

“USB-C has become the universal ‘go-to’ in connectors for video conferencing — and if it’s USB-C, we’ve got you covered,” said Effi Goldstein, president of the HDBaseT Alliance. “The glaring lack of a professional-grade high-bandwidth USB3 extension solution to prevent signal downgrades in collaborative environments has become a major pain point for the Pro AV industry, especially when it comes to high-resolution cameras and video bars. This is exactly what HDBaseT-USB3 was developed for and we are excited to highlight these capabilities at Infocomm 2025.”

The HDBaseT-USB3 specification supports extension of USB 3.2 Gen 1 up to 100 meters (328 feet) over standard Category cable, allowing AV professionals to maintain full performance and resolution in collaborative setups.

At the booth’s Power Wall, attendees can view a wide range of HDBaseT-USB3 products, including PTZ cameras, video bars, room controllers, wallplates, and extenders — providing one of the most complete overviews of HDBaseT applications available at the show.
