The Valens Stello chipsets allow Crestron to bring long-distance distribution of truly uncompressed HDMI 2.0 to the market, ‘answering a clear market need’ with DM Lite products.

Valens Semiconductor has announced that a full suite of more than 24 pro-AV products from Crestron are powered by the Valens Stello family, bringing to the industry a truly uncompressed 4K60@4:4:4 video distribution solution.

Crestron has already introduced to market multiple Valens Stello-based products, including the popular 4K HD-PS presentation switchers and endpoints from its DM Lite product lines, which have been met with strong market demand.

The Crestron products incorporate chipsets from the Valens Stello family, which implements the latest generation of the HDBaseT standard, HDBaseT 3.0. The Valens Stello offers unparalleled technological capabilities and are the only ones on the market that can converge and extend fully uncompressed HDMI2.0 4K60@4:4:4 Video, 1Gbps Ethernet, Hi-Speed USB, Controls, and Power, over a single Category cable for distances of up to 100 meters (328ft).

“It is a testament to the confidence we have in our long-lasting relationship with Valens Semiconductor that we chose to base such a robust product line on their technology,” said Dan Brady, chief operating officer at Crestron Electronics. “The Valens Stello chipsets allow us to bring the long-distance distribution of truly uncompressed HDMI 2.0 to the market. We are confident that our Valens Stello-based DM Lite products answer a clear market need, from enterprise to education and beyond.”

“Crestron sets the tone when it comes to innovation in the pro-AV world,” said Gabi Shriki, SVP and head of audio-video at Valens Semiconductor. “There has already been strong adoption of the Valens Stello, our latest and most feature-rich audio-video chipset, but Crestron’s products will certainly open the floodgates for greater market adoption of our state-of-the-art chipsets.”
