SpeaKa 2521199 HDMI eARC Audio Extractor
Item No. 2521199
Intended use
-
The product is an audio extractor supporting ARC/eARC and 4K video quality at 60Hz (HDMI
2.0b). It can separate the video and sound signals from a device allowing flexibility of an audio-visual setup. Use it to connect devices with HDMI output to a sound bar, TV, and amplifier,then switch between input from the connected device or a smart TV. The product can be used with devices that have ARC/eARC function as well as with older devices that do not have this capability. -
The audio extractor is ideal for streamlining your audio-visual setup by allowing you to connect 2 input devices to 2 audio output devices, where it strips the sound signal from the video signal and plays the sound on a device of your choice. You can switch between input devices without disconnecting cables and it features automatic EDID management, which communicates the capabilities of each device, ensuring that the best possible sound and video quality is played.
