PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The product is an extender for both HDMI ARC and SPDIF audio pass-through. It supports CEC pass-through between HDMI ARC input port and ARC output port to handshake for ARC transmission.

For TVs that don’t support HDM I ARC capabilities, the extender provides an independent SPDIF audio pass-through channel. SPDIF audio can be transmitted from the SPDIF IN port of the transmitter to the SPDI FOUT port of the receiver.

FEATURES

• Supports CEC pass-through between HDMI ARC Input port and ARC Output port to handshake for ARC transmission.
• Supports signal transmission distance up to 150m/492ft via a single Cat Se or above cable.
• Supported returned audio formats include: Dolby 5.1CH, DTS 5.1CH and LPCM 2CH.

Note : To sett he extender to ARC or SPD IF mode, users need to sett he DIP switches of the transmitter and receiver to the same position. For example, when the extender is set to ARC mode, the DIP switches of transmitter and receiver both need to be switched to the “ARC” position.
