Introduction
This Audio Extender can transmit both HDMI eARC and S/PDIF audio signals over a single CAT cable. The transmission distance is up to 100m/ 328ft. It supports CEC pass-through between HDMI eARC input port and eARC output port to handshake for eARC transmission. For TVs without HDMI eARC function, the extender provides an independent S/PDIF audio pass-through channel to transmit S/PDIF audio from the S/PDIF IN port of the transmitter to the S/PDIF OUT port of the receiver. This is a fantastic plug and play solution for sending HDMI eARC and S/PDIF audio from an HDTV back to an amplifier, AVR or multi-room audio system.
