The HDBaseT Alliance Expands into the Automotive Sector
--General Motors, Daimler and Delphi have joined the Alliance to promote and advance HDBaseT in the automotive sector--

Las Vegas, CES 2016 – January 6, 2016 The HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry group tasked with promoting and advancing HDBaseT technology, announced today that it is expanding its activities into the field of automotive infrastructure.  HDBaseT is a standard for the distribution of ultra-high-definition multimedia content, and is an ideal solution for in-vehicle connectivity.

GM has joined the Alliance’s Board of Directors, as a Promoter member.
Both Daimler and Delphi Automotive have joined as Contributor members.

The HDBaseT Alliance is finalizing the specifications for HDBaseT Automotive, which allows for better efficiency and cost-savings in various automotive applications, including infotainment and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):

  • Unprecedented bandwidth of up to 6 Gbps throughput over 15 meters of single pair unshielded cable (UTP)
  • Low latency (less than 10 µsec) in the distribution of uncompressed AV, Ethernet, controls, USB and power, over low-cost, low-weight and reliable cabling
  • Native networking and multistreaming support

“GM is committed to bringing to market the best technologies and infrastructure to enable a safer and more pleasant driving experience.  HDBaseT fits into this category, and we are looking forward to contributing to the Alliance and advance this vision.”
Natalie Wiencowski, Global Lead of Electrical Hardware & Member of the Advanced Electrical Architecture Team at General Motors

“Daimler’s customers expect the highest standards while driving one of our cars, and our goal is to deliver the underlying infrastructure to fulfill these expectations.  HDBaseT is the technology that can facilitate this process.”

“HDBaseT is a mature and proven technology, now in its third generation. It perfectly addresses the challenges faced today by in-vehicle connectivity infrastructure, and brings simplicity, less cables and lower costs to the sector.  With HDBaseT Automotive, we expect to replicate our AV success, for a game-changing development in the automotive market.”
