4 Port HDMI Audio Extractor Switch | ARC Function

4 Port HDMI Audio Extractor Switch | ARC Function

Transform your living room or media center into a centralized entertainment hub with the 4 Port HDMI Audio Extractor Switch. This high-performance device allows you to connect up to four HDMI source devices to a single HDMI display, eliminating the constant need to swap cables behind your TV.

Equipped with a built-in audio extractor and audio return channel (ARC) functionality, it offers ultimate audio flexibility. It cleanly splits high-fidelity audio from your inputs and routes it directly to external soundbars, AV receivers, or headphones.

Product features

• Massive 4-device connectivity: seamlessly bridge four independent HDMI sources to one television, projector, or monitor. Switch between inputs quickly using the front-panel button or the included IR remote control.
• Advanced ARC control: when the ARC toggle is switched on, the device listens to the audio coming back from your TV’s HDMI ARC port and routes that digital audio out through the Optical Toslink port to your soundbar.

What is HDMI ARC?

HDMI ARC stands for Audio Return Channel. It is a feature built into most modern TVs and audio devices that simplifies how audio is sent between your TV and an external sound system, like a soundbar or an Audio/Video (AV) receiver. HDMI ARC introduces two-way audio communication over a single HDMI cable.

Benefits of an HDMI ARC:

• Clutter reduction: it eliminates the need for an extra dedicated optical audio cable between your TV and your sound system.
• Single-remote control (HDMI-CEC): HDMI ARC almost always works hand-in-hand with HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). This means once it is plugged in, your standard TV remote will automatically turn your soundbar on/off and control its volume. You don’t have to keep juggling multiple remotes just to change the volume.
