INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Transformative Engineering’s HLE-4K HDMI Extender Kit.
This product incorporates many advanced technologies to accomplish 2.0 HDMI
compliant extension of the High Definition MultiMedia Interface protocol over one length
of Category 5e/6/7 wire. Among these is certified HDBase-T technology, licensed here.
This unique conversion of HDMI signals provides for the most reliable, stable and
predictable method to transfer all HDMI requirements. More information on this
technology may be found at the HDBase-T website, www.hdbaset.org . We are proud
to be an early Adopter Member of the Alliance.
Proper connection and attention to limitations of this product will provide secure,
reliable, and predictable results. The most important variable to success will depend on
wire chosen as the interconnection between our Transmitter and Receiver. All Category
wire is not created equal. It is vital that care is taken at all times to avoid kinks, crimps,
nicks, and other abuse of the wire and jacket. Also, we highly recommend that all wire
be sweep tested before and after installation to insure full bandwidth is not impaired. A
sweep-test generator tion Tester, or its equivalent,
is suggested. Please be sure to specify Category 5e, or better, cable that meets a
minimum of 400MHz bandwidth. Typical high-quality Category 6 cable performs from
550-850 MHz, and Category 7 cable should pass 1GHz or more.
will also perform with STP (shielded twisted pair) cable as well. MOST FAILURES OR
INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE ARE THE RESULT OF INFERIOR WIRE OR IMPROPER
TERMINATIONS.
