This Digitalinx DL-HDDM21 is an HDMI Dolby Digital & DTS Stereo Decoder that supports the transmission
of high bandwidth (18Gbps) video and allows the associated audio signal to be simultaneously extracted

(LPCM 2.0) over HDMI, S/PDIF (opcal and coaxial) and analog RCA connecons. If the connected
display supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), and has it enabled, then the DL-HDDM21 can extract the
ARC audio and route to all available audio outputs.
Both the input and output HDMI ports support 4K UHD resoluons up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit).
Built-in EDID management support allows the user to select from mulple EDIDs and, with the use of
oponal PC soware, to upload, download, or edit EDID les.
