Product Information

This extractor is perfect to use when your surround system, receiver, or soundbar has no HDMI input. With this device, you can split 2CH/5.1CH Audio from HDMI source devices like Chromecast, pS3/4, Blue-ray players, Apple TV, etc. Compatibility Although HDMI eARC can technically be implemented on HDMI 2.0b ports, the reality is it’s only TVs with HDMI 2.1 ports that support eARC. Effectively, unless you’ve bought a TV in the last 18 months or so, it’s unlikely that you’ll have HDMI eARC, which means you can’t run the highest-quality audio into the Sonos Arc. The good news here is that if you have a TV with HDMI ARC that supports Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos, then you’ll get the same quality from streaming services as on a TV with HDMI eARC. The advantage of using HDMI ARC or eARC over an HDMI splitter is that it allows you to take advantage of Consumer Electronic Control or CEC. This allows you to use one of your device’s remotes to control all of your devices. It also synchronizes your devices so that they all have one master volume. Active HDMI Splitters

In addition, there is a second HDMI input that you can use to connect another HDMI source. Switching to the second HDMI input is done manually by pressing a button on the VSP01222. The output signal is always distributed to both end devices, e.g. TV and video projector at the same time. The output signal is therefore not switched.Features 5 HDMI input to one HDMI display; (Pass ModeMode) and Optical Toslink output + (5.1CH Mode) + 3.5mm Audio stereo (2CH Mode) Functionality This setup will allow the transfer of full audio up to Atmos/TrueHD from several HDMI sources connected to an HDMI switcher as well as receive the ARC or eARC signal from the TV ARC or eARC input.

Some are capable of displaying HDMI resolution of up to 4k@60Hz. The higher the resolution, the better your experience will be. Cost There are numerous scenarios in which an HDMI splitter might come in handy. The most common uses for an HDMI splitter are when you have separate audio and video devices or when you want to display the output to multiple devices. The particular application will determine whether you need an active or passive HDMI splitter. Passive HDMI SplittersThe J-Tech comes as an upgrade to the older models. Although it still doesn’t support the ARC feature (just like its predecessors), it successfully extracts the HDMI audio signal from HDMI inputs (with the highest resolution of 1080p). It then relays it to a 5.1 Channel or 2 Channel Audio output. Generally, an AudioExtractor splits input Audio from an HDMI signal. It converts it to correspond with analog technology without compromising its quality and saving you from the hassle of purchasing an expensive media device for that purpose. Our advice for most people is to connect your sources to your receiver or soundbar, if they're capable, and only use ARC to get audio from your TV's internal apps. Not every system will work like this, not least if your soundbar doesn't have enough HDMI inputs. However, with infinite setup possibilities, we can't offer perfect idealized advice. Connecting directly to your audio device will, in theory, offer the best chance for the highest quality audio.
