Has anyone heard of / looked into HDBaseT recently? Essentially it's aiming to replace all the muddle of video connectors we've got at the moment (HDMI, SCART, BNC, VGA, DVI) with ethernet cables using standard RJ-45 plugs. It'd also support PoE so can be used to actually power devices up to 100W as well, works up to 100m (same as standard ethernet) and uses bog standard Cat5 cable.
It's a relatively new thing, but I think it's flippin fantastic. A plug and play technology using existing, cheap, readily available cables for its transmission is in my mind a complete win - I reckon it's going to take on hugely when it launches.
