I wish the companies would stop playing around and just go Displayport already, at least in comparison to HDMI. Displayport is FREE and the VESA standard and has been out for a few years in the computer industry and supports 21.6 Gbps in addition can support auxiliary channels for things like USB and Ethernet. Aside from the fact it is a packet architecture so it can drive multiple displays/devices by one cable (using "hub") unlike HDMI.

After looking at their info, HDBaseT looks good, but these continue to throw another wrench into the hardware side of the products. Although the fact seems to show that HDMI is not what (industry) would like to use if they could help it, because it has many limitations. Anyway, glad I wired up CAT6 at home.

Here are some links

The Chinese open standard they want to drive (my understanding is this is based on CAT6):

Looking back again, I remember reading about this Valens technology, this press release was before any big name companies apparently had signed up with it.
