Audio Authority's new HXE-11 HDMI over One Coax extender replaces traditional Cat 5 baluns.

Where homes are already wired with coaxial cable, the HXE-11 system will prove to be the most painless route to HDMI and all of its benefits (such as lossless audio and 1080p video). The HXE-11 is HDMI version 1.3 compliant, and HDCP compliant.

The extender system can transmit 1080p video up to 200 feet over 1 GHz sweep-tested RG-6 cable, and longer distances are possible over higher bandwidth cable. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD:Master Audio signals are supported with no negative effect on distance of run, says the firm.

"It's a high performance alternative to traditional Cat 5 baluns, which suffer from the need for multiple cables and are very sensitive to termination quality," says Trent Davis, Audio Authority's Product Manager. "There's so much coaxial cable already in the walls of homes and businesses that we wanted to offer an extender that allows integrators to make use of that cheap, common, easy-to-use cable."

The HXE-11 package consists of the Model 1341T Transmitter and the Model 1341R Receiver. BNC connectors are used for the coaxial connections to maximize reliability and cable security. The receiver features a loop output, allowing additional receivers to be fed from a single source.
