1. Introduction
The DIGITUS® HDMI eARC Converter/Splitter offers two operating
modes: Mode 1 -> eARC Audio Extractor –Connect an HDMI2.1
device (e.g. XBox Series X, PS5) with an UHD TV while you continue to
use your old AVR (Audio Video Receiver). Uncompressed 5.1 / 7.1
Surround Sound as well as ATMOS and DTS can be extracted from
your TV's eARC or ARC port on any standard HDMI input (NOT eARC
port) of your older AVR or your soundbar. Streaming devices/sticks,
satellite TV, streaming apps on your smart TV benefit from optimal
audio contents. Mode 2 -> Audio Splitter –With the local HDMI input
and switching off eARC extraction at the converter switch, it is
possible to split the audio stream of any HDMI multi-channel audio
source and transmit the video to any HDMI 2.0 TV. The audio output
offers a black 720p image for compatibility with any older AVR using
HDMI 1.3 and higher.
