What it is and who it is for

The BZBGEAR 8K60 HDMI 2.1 Audio De-Embedder extracts audio from an HDMI source or ARC-enabled TV and sends it to separate digital and analogue outputs while passing video through untouched. It suits installers and home-theatre owners who need to feed a soundbar, AV receiver or active speakers that lack HDMI inputs.

Capacity and headroom

The unit handles 48 Gbps FRL and 18 Gbps TMDS bandwidth, supporting video up to 8K at 60 Hz 4:2:0 12-bit and 4K at 120 Hz 4:4:4 12-bit. HDMI audio passes through up to LPCM 7.1 CH and high-bitrate formats, while the optical output delivers PCM 2.0 CH or compressed 5.1 CH and the analogue jack provides PCM 2.0 CH only.

How it fits into a build

One HDMI input connects the source, a second HDMI output feeds the display and carries ARC audio back to the de-embedder. The box then supplies a 3.5 mm stereo jack and a TOSLINK port for zone-two audio or legacy gear. CEC control passes through so the TV remote can still command the source. It does not suit buyers who need multichannel analogue breakout or HDMI 2.0-only devices without ARC.

Questions about this item

Will the HDMI 2.1 pass-through keep 4K 120 Hz working on my older AV receiver?

The unit passes HDMI 2.1 video up to 4K 120 Hz 4:4:4 12-bit and 8K 60 Hz 4:2:0 12-bit while extracting audio, so your receiver only needs to handle the audio formats you choose.

How can I verify the de-embedder is sending audio to both the optical and 3.5 mm outputs?

Play a source with Dolby or DTS 5.1; the optical port will output that bitstream while the 3.5 mm jack carries the down-mixed PCM 2.0 stereo signal.

Does the box include the HDMI cables needed for the source and TV connections?

The package contains the de-embedder and a power supply; HDMI cables for the source input and TV (ARC) output must be purchased separately.
