JTECH-EXD-ARC HDMI audio extractor

The JTECH-EXD-ARC extracts audio from an HDMI source and converts it to optical or RCA analogue outputs. It is built for users who need to connect a TV, console or streaming box to an external sound system that lacks HDMI inputs.

HDMI ARC support and EDID switching

The unit accepts an ARC signal from a compatible television and passes the extracted audio to a soundbar or AV receiver via the optical port. A three-position EDID switch selects TV, 2CH or 5CH modes to maintain handshake stability with the source device.

4K 60 Hz pass-through with HDR

Video travels through the extractor at 4K resolution and 60 Hz with HDR while HDCP 2.2 compliance is maintained. The device draws power from the included 5 V adapter and operates without audible fan noise in normal use.

Questions about this item

What HDMI standard limits the 4K 60 Hz video pass-through?

HDMI 2.0 bandwidth caps the extractor at 4K 60 Hz YUV 4:2:0 with HDR and HDCP 2.2 support.

What connectors must be free on the TV and sound system for ARC extraction?

The TV needs an HDMI ARC port and the sound system needs an optical SPDIF input or stereo RCA inputs.

How is the EDID switch set for a stereo-only soundbar, and what step is often missed?

Slide the EDID switch to 2CH before powering on, then cycle power on the source so it re-reads the stereo EDID.
