Lindy HDMI eARC Extractor - Black

Its primary function is to extract digital audio signals from an HDMI eARC input and send them to an audio receiver or soundbar, while simultaneously passing the video signal to a 4K UHD display.

Yes, it supports video pass-through up to 4K resolutions at 60Hz, along with HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision.

It supports a wide range of audio formats, including PCM 2.0/5.1/7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS 5.1, DTS ES 6.1, DTS HRA, DTS HD Master, and DTS:X.

For optimal performance with 4K@60Hz and HDR content, it is recommended to use High Speed or Premium High Speed HDMI cables that support 18Gbps bandwidth.

eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) is a feature that allows for higher bandwidth audio transmission over HDMI. This extractor uses an eARC input to receive advanced audio formats and requires an eARC-enabled output on your audio device to function correctly for multi-channel audio extraction.

Yes, the extractor is powered via a USB connection. A USB Type-A to Micro-USB Type-B cable is included for connecting to a suitable USB power source.

The Lindy 4K60 HDMI eARC Extractor comes with a 2-year warranty.

While it has an HDMI eARC input, its primary functionality for advanced audio extraction relies on an eARC connection. For standard ARC, compatibility might be limited to stereo or compressed audio formats, and it's best to use the eARC port on your display or source for full capabilities.

Verify the HDMI cable connection between the extractor's HDMI OUT port and the display. Ensure the display is set to the correct input source. Check that the source device is outputting a compatible resolution and refresh rate. Confirm the HDMI cable supports the required bandwidth (e.g., Premium High Speed).

Ensure the audio device is connected to the HDMI eARC port on the extractor. Verify that the audio device supports eARC and is configured to use it. Check the audio settings on the source device and the extractor (if applicable, though this model is primarily pass-through). Confirm that the connected audio device is powered on and set to the correct input.

Check the audio settings on the source device and disable any unnecessary audio processing. Ensure the audio device is not introducing significant latency. Try a different HDMI cable. Restart all connected devices.

Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the extractor and the power source. Try using a different USB power adapter or a USB port with sufficient power output (5V/1A recommended).

Check all HDMI and USB cable connections for a secure fit. Try using shorter, high-quality HDMI cables. Ensure the device is not located near sources of electromagnetic interference. Update firmware on connected source and display devices if available.
