Product Description

The VHD-H2HARC is the latest generation ViewHD HDMI Audio Extractor with MHL, Ultra HD / 4K and ARC supports. It extracts audio from the HDMI input and present it in SPDIF output or analog L/R output, for audio receiver / amplifier / headphone applications. The unit does not change incoming video and audio formats. HDMI output signals (audio and video) are identical to the HDMI input signals (audio and video).

This newer version incorporates special Audio EDID settings for flexible and advanced audio applications. The three special EDID settings are implemented to make the product more user friendly and provide more controls for various applications.

L/R outputs support PCM 2CH stereo and SPDIF supports audio formats up to Dolby Digital 5.1CH or DTS 5.1CH, therefore when the incoming HDMI audio is 2CH stereo, the SPDIF and L/R outputs will work at the same time; when the incoming HDMI audio is Dolby Digital 5.1CH or DTS 5.1CH, the SPDIF will work, but the L/R output will not work; when the incoming HDMI audio format is higher than Dolby Digital 5.1CH or DTS 5.1CH, such as Dolby Digital Plus, PCM 5.1CH, PMC7.1CH including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, both the SPDIF and L/R outputs will not work, user can still obtain these advanced audio signals from HDMI output, because HDMI output signal is identical to the HDMI input signal.

Use ARC button to turn on / off the ARC function as indicated by the ARC LED light; To use ARC function: 1) the ARC LED light must be on; 2) the display connected to HDMI output must support ARC and a HDMI v1.4 cable must be used to connect the HDMI output to the ARC enabled HDMI input of the display; 3) ARC audio is available from the SPDIF optical output ONLY. Typically, ARC audio uses Dolby Digital 5.1CH / AC3 surround sound format for audio system / receiver application.
