Introduction
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.
on the connection and choice of the wire used.

Transmitter Functions
TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS - See pg 7
1 IRDA Out –Used for connecting to an Infra-Red Emitter for controlling a device
at this end. The IR Signal would originate from the Receiver end either from a
PoweredPickup or an IR Pass-Thru.
2 HDBase-T Link Connection –Connect via Category 5e/6/7 cable .
Recommended minimum length is 4Meters up to our maximum rated specification
of 70 Meters.
3 Power Input –Utilizing the supplied 24V 1A supply, connect at the
Transmitter side where indicated. No Power Supply is then necessary at the
Receiver side.
4 IRDA In – Used for connecting to a 12V Powered Infra-Red Pickup device via
3-conductor mini-plug, or for Pass thru using SMA-1 Adapter cable (included). See
Diagram onPage 11 for details.
5 HDMI Input – Connect this to your HDMI Source – Cable Box, Disc Player, etc.
6 Power Indicator – This light indicatesthat power is being supplied to the unit.
Connection of the (included)Power Supply should illuminate this light on both
Transmitter and Receiver Units.If the “POWER” light is not on, you should
check that the power supply is properly connected.
7 HDMI/HDCP Indicator –This light shows that a valid HDMI connection has
been made, “handshake” has taken place, and there is a High Definition Copy
Protect flag in operation. Attempts to copy Digital content will not be allowed. Any
connectionto a non-compliant Digital copy device will cause this light to go off, and
will result in the loss of signal.

Recievers Functions
A solid HDMI light indicates the unit is processing an HDCP-Encoded signal and
ther second) HDMI light
indicatesthe signal is non-copyright encoded, and you should have a picture on
screen. No HDMI light indicateslack of signal being applied. A fast (2x second)
HDMI light indicates an improper copyright attempt andwill result in no picture.
8 HDBaseT Link Indicator –These lights show that communication has been
properly established with the HDBase-T Receiver. No other connectionsneed be
made for these lights to indicate your connection is secure. A blinking HDBT link
light indic ates the units are in standby mode.This results from no signal
being applied to the transmitter. Upon application of the HDMI signal, both
units should wake up (within 1 second) and carry your HDMI signal as
desired.

Warranty
TROUBLESHOOTING
As mentioned previously, most malfunctions can be addressed by careful examination
of the Category cable terminations and suitability of the UTP cable itself. Once the
“Link” lights are on, this system is operating normally. Lack of function should be
traced to a failure in HDMI interconnection cables or device settings. If all this has been
examined with no resolution of your problem, please contact our Technical Support
Department at 781-769-6410 or via email at: [email protected].
