4K HDMI audio embedder/de-embedder with ARC support, designed to extract or insert audio from / to HDMI, optical, or analog signals. The device can take audio from HDMI, ARC (from HDMI output 1), optical S/PDIF, or analog stereo input, and send it simultaneously to the HDMI, optical, and analog outputs, thanks to high-quality ADC/DAC processing.
It supports video up to 4K @ 60Hz 4:4:4 (18 Gbps), 10/12-bit HDR, and advanced audio formats such as LPCM up to 8 channels, Bitstream, and HD Bitstream. It also integrates advanced EDID management with presets and the ability to load a custom EDID.
