Page 6 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 HDBaseT Technology  Single CATx cable for up to 100m transmission  10.2Gbps shared data rate  Future potential for 20Gbps  Supports up to 4K video & all HD Audio formats  Simultaneous bi-directional control protocol compatibility (RS232 and/or IR)  Simultaneous 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet switch  USB 2.0 support  PoE (Power over Ethernet)  PoH (Power over HDBaseT) to 100 watts.  Signal remains uncompressed  Full feature set called “5Play” by Valens HD-3D/XHD - HD Audio - Multi-port Ethernet - IR Extension - RS Gbps, USB 2.0, 100m, 1x CAT cable, PoE, PoH.

Page 7 HDBaseT Distribution  Current generation of HDBaseT products are point to point only.  No Splitting  No Matrix  Future generations may allow for this. © Kordz Pty Ltd 2010

Page 8 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 Resolution vs. Data rates Total data rate is determined essentially by video resolution  720p/1080i60= 2.22Gbps  1080p24-2D= 1.78Gbps  1080p24-3D= 3.56Gbps  1080p60-2D= 4.45Gbps  1080p60-3D= 8.92Gbps  4K (2160p)= Gbps

Page 9 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 Current HDMI device limitations  Data rate potential is limited by silicon in the device  Transmitter in source devices  Repeater in AVRs & most extenders  Receiver in sink devices  Silicon implementation is developed to cater for demands of the day COMING 9Gbps MAX Gbps MAX Gbps MAX

Page 10 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 HDMI connection  Supports up to 5m HDMI cable length at each side  Use only certified High Speed HDMI cables  Audio Return Channel supported * pre-install compatibility test is recommended

Page 11 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 Ethernet  Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet  This system works like a common 6-port Ethernet switch, just with 3 ports at each end of up to 100m of CAT cable!  Remember data is shared with other features.

Page 12 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 IR Extender function  3.5mm IR port on both units  Connect TX (Transmitter) unit  Connect RX (Receiver) unit  Some devices may support bi-direction IR

Page 13 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 RS-232 function  Supports direct pass-through of all RS-232 character encodings, voltage and signalling rates as defined by the EIA  Performs no processing of RS-232 signals, just pure pass-through

Page 14 © Kordz Pty Ltd 2011 Beyond 100m  Supports end-to-end full system daisy chaining of (technically) up to 8 systems  Total max. supported length approx 800m

Page 15 HDBaseT 1.0 Certification Program “The 1.0 Certification Program provides members with a set standard for ensuring their products are compliant, interoperable and part of an established product ecosystem.” --Ariel Sobelman, HDBaseT Alliance President  Provides formal framework for the growing HDBaseT ecosystem.  Sets the stage for additional certified products to enter the market.  Includes: 1.HDBaseT Compliance Test Specification 2.Logo guidelines 3.First HDBaseT Recognized Test Facility is now running testing
