This device supports 4K@60Hz video passthrough and advanced EDID management for flexible audio and video configurations.

Product Features

  • HDMI Audio Extraction: Extracts audio from an HDMI source to optical, coaxial, L/R stereo, or 3.5mm auxiliary outputs.
  • EDID Management: Features 8 working modes for easy configuration via a red DIP switch, allowing automatic EDID comparison or fixed EDID settings to ensure compatibility.
  • 4K Ultra HD Support: Compatible with HDMI 1.4V, supporting up to 10.2G bandwidth, HDCP1.4, 4K@60Hz (YUV4:2:0), and 4K@30Hz RGB/YUV4:4:4.
  • Audio Format Support: Optical and coaxial outputs support Dolby DTS 5.1. The 3.5mm and L/R outputs support PCM2.0.
  • Low Power Consumption: Often operates without external power when connected to most source devices. A USB 5V power connection is available for devices requiring additional power.
  • Wide Compatibility: Suitable for various HDMI source devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Blu-ray/DVD/HD players, cable/satellite boxes, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PCs/laptops.

Note: This device does not support ARC (Audio Return Channel) or eARC. A TV is not supported as an input source. 4K HDR and 7.1 channel audio are not supported. Some devices like PS4/PS5 may only support up to 1080p through this extractor.

Connection Diagram

Connection diagram for VEDINDUST HDMI Audio Extractor showing HDMI source, HDMI display, and various audio outputs.
Figure 1: Overview of the HDMI Audio Extractor connection setup. An HDMI source (e.g., PS5) connects to the HDMI IN port. The HDMI OUT port connects to a monitor or TV. Audio outputs (Optical, Coaxial, L/R, 3.5mm AUX) connect to external audio devices like soundbars, power amplifiers, stereo speakers, or headphones. A USB 5V power connection is also shown.

Step-by-Step Connection

  1. Connect HDMI Source: Use an HDMI cable to connect your HDMI source device (e.g., PS5, Blu-ray player, Roku) to the HDMI IN port on the extractor.
  2. Connect HDMI Display: Use another HDMI cable to connect your HDMI display (e.g., TV, monitor, projector) to the HDMI OUT port on the extractor.
  3. Connect Audio Output: Choose your desired audio output and connect it to your audio receiver, soundbar, speakers, or headphones:
    • For 5.1 channel audio (Dolby DTS 5.1), connect an optical cable to the Optical port or a coaxial cable to the Coaxial port.
    • For 2.0 channel stereo audio (PCM2.0), connect RCA cables to the L/R ports or a 3.5mm audio cable to the AUX port.
  4. Connect Power: Connect the provided Micro USB power cable to the USB 5V port on the extractor. Connect the other end to a USB power source (e.g., a USB port on your TV, a USB wall adapter, or a power bank). While many source devices provide sufficient power, external power may be required for stable operation.

Operating Instructions

EDID Management

The HDMI Audio Extractor features an EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management switch, allowing you to configure the audio and video output behavior. Use the red DIP switch on the unit to select one of the 8 available modes.

Table detailing 8 EDID management modes with corresponding resolution and audio output settings.
Figure 3: EDID Management Table. This table illustrates the 8 different EDID modes, showing how the DIP switch settings (1, 2, 3) correspond to resolution (copy from HDMI output, fixed 4K, fixed 1080P) and audio output formats (2CH PCM, Dolby DTS 5.1CH, or no audio) for AUX & L/R, Optical & Coaxial, and HDMI Audio.

Each switch position (1, 2, 3) can be set to ON or OFF to achieve different configurations. Refer to the table above to select the appropriate mode for your setup. For example:

  • To copy display resolution and output 2CH PCM audio on all outputs, set switches to a specific configuration (e.g., 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-OFF).
  • To force 4K resolution and output Dolby DTS 5.1CH on Optical/Coaxial, set switches accordingly.

Audio Sync and TV Mute Functionality

Figure 4: Operational features. The top left shows 'Audio Sync' for 2-channel mode with audio output. The top right illustrates 'HDMI Out TV Mute' where audio is extracted to external speakers, muting the TV's sound. The bottom left highlights the 'Metal shell' for effective heat dissipation. The bottom right indicates 'Low power' consumption, often requiring no external power supply.
  • Audio Sync: In 2-channel mode, the device ensures synchronized audio output across all enabled audio ports (AUX, L/R, Coaxial, Optical, HDMI).
  • HDMI Out TV Mute: When audio is extracted to external speakers via the extractor's audio outputs, the HDMI output to the TV can be configured to mute its audio, preventing duplicate sound. This is managed through the EDID settings.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VEDINDUST HDMI Audio Extractor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the surface or internal components.
  • Environment: Keep the device in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
  • Heat Dissipation: The metal shell of the extractor is designed for effective heat dissipation. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not blocked to allow proper airflow.
  • Cable Care: Handle HDMI and audio cables carefully. Avoid bending them sharply or placing heavy objects on them, which can cause damage.
