HD-AE1 4K HDMI Audio Extractor - HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF & 3.5mm Audio

HD-AE1 4K HDTV Audio Extractor – HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF & 3.5mm Audio Converter
Full Product Description

The HD-AE1 HDTV Audio Extractor is a multifunctional digital audio converter designed to extract audio from an HDMI signal while simultaneously passing the HDMI video signal through to a compatible television, monitor or projector.

It is particularly useful when an HDMI source needs to send video to a display while the audio is routed separately to an amplifier, sound system, speakers or other compatible audio equipment.

The HD-AE1 features an HDMI input and HDMI output, allowing the original video signal to continue to the display. Separate SPDIF optical and 3.5mm analogue audio outputs provide flexible options for connecting external audio equipment.

According to the supplied packaging, the extractor supports 4K Ultra HD video passthrough as well as 3D video, making it suitable for compatible high-resolution entertainment equipment.

A selectable 3.5CH / 2CH / PASS audio mode switch provides additional flexibility for different audio configurations and connected equipment.

The unit is powered through a DC 5V input and features a compact desktop design that can be installed discreetly alongside a TV, media player, game console or home entertainment system.

The HD-AE1 is a practical solution when a television or display has limited audio outputs or when users want to route HDMI audio directly to dedicated external speakers or an amplifier.
