Transformative Engineering’s new HLE-1 Lite HDMI Extender uses a version of HDBaseT known as “HDBaseT Lite” for HDMI extension up 70 Meters, along with bi-directional IR over a single CAT5e or CAT6 UTP cable. Using a single 24V DC power supply injected at the transmitter side and also providing remote power to its companion receiver module. The HLE-1’s HDMI features include support for 4Kx2K resolution, 3-D, and all current audio formats including DTS-HD and Dolby True-HD.

The HLE-1 includes built-in cable length compensation that supposedly works with no dials or switches (not sure how this is possible with various lengths) and it has a single HDMI input, one HDBaseT RJ45 output, and bi-directional IRDA connections that are Xantech compatible.

The Transformative Engineering HLE-1 kit consists of one HLE-1TX HDMI transmitter module, one HLE-1RX HDMI receiver module, and the 24V power supply. The HLE-1, which is backed by a three-year warranty, is currently available to dealers and has a suggested retail price of $349.
