Orion, Co. Joins the HDBaseT Alliance, Unveils New HDBaseT Enabled Digital Signage Display Solutions

HDBaseT Alliance and Orion, Co. today announced Orion has joined the Alliance, becoming the latest display manufacturer to adopt the HDBaseT technology. Orion today also released its first HDBaseT enabled video wall, the X-series video wall display solutions. The company plans to release several additional displays featuring embedded HDBaseT technology in 2013.

HDBaseT, empowered by Valens' HDBaseT chipset, enables consumers and installers to reduce installation time and costs by using a single CAT5e/6 cable to deliver uncompressed high definition video, audio and controls.

"HDBaseT is fast becoming a standard for commercial A/V installations," said KS Kim, Sales Manager for Orion, Co. "Orion recognizes the importance of supplying the industry with a standard and interoperable technology for quick and easy integration of its innovative display solutions. Orion's HDBaseT-enabled displays meet our customers' current requirements for more cost-effective, future-proof products."

"HDBaseT is the ultimate technology for display manufacturers providing a new, simple and cost-effective way to install and maintain video walls, without sacrificing high definition quality," said Micha Risling, Marketing Chair for the HDBaseT Alliance. "The momentum behind the rapid acceptance and implementation of the HDBaseT technology continues to grow with more companies like Orion joining the HDBaseT Alliance, bringing worldwide exposure in yet another significant market segment: digital signage and commercial displays."

Orion's X-series includes HDBaseT inputs, which enable integration with other manufacturers' HDBaseT-based products without requiring additional receivers and converters. Orion is also working to complete HDBaseT Certification to guarantee its display is interoperable with other certified devices from other Alliance members such as Crestron, Atlona, and Gefen (News - Alert).
