8K HDMI 2.1 eARC Audio Extractor

The BG-8K-AE de-embeds audio from an HDMI source or a TV with ARC/eARC and routes it to an AV receiver, soundbar or stereo system. It supports HDMI, digital S/PDIF and analog L/R outputs for flexible distribution. The unit is built for home-theatre and professional AV installations that need full-quality Dolby Atmos and DTS:X pass-through.

HDMI 2.1 48Gbps Bandwidth Limit

The adapter handles data rates up to 48Gbps with HDCP 2.3 compliance. Video passes through at resolutions up to 8K@60Hz 4:2:0 12-bit and 4K@120Hz 4:4:4 12-bit. HDR formats including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and HLG are supported. VRR, ALLM, QMS, QFT and SBTM features also pass through without degradation.

Check TV eARC Port and Power Before Ordering

Your TV must provide an HDMI port with ARC or eARC capability to return audio to the adapter. The included 5V/2A multinational power supply is required for operation. Verify that your AV receiver, soundbar or amplifier accepts HDMI, S/PDIF or analog L/R input matching the adapter outputs. CEC control from the TV remote works only when all connected devices support CEC.
