The HDBaseT Alliance releases a Power Over HDBaseT (POH) addendum to the HDBaseT 1.0 specification-- delivering 100 W of power as well as audio, video, ethernet and control signals over a single cable.

POH technology delivers power to TVs and other devices over distances of up to 100m using either Cat5e/6 cable with standard RJ-45 connectors.

This way the HDBaseT "5Play" feature set is complete, the Alliance says.

The POH addendum should reduce CE installation costs (eliminating the need for an electrician) while helping manufacturers design thinner and more cost-effective devices by eliminated AC-to-DC elements.
