LUOM HY-5001 Audio Extractor

This LUOM HY-5001 unit extracts audio from an HDMI source and sends it to separate optical SPDIF and RCA stereo outputs while passing the original video signal through to an HDMI display. It supports resolutions up to 4K at 30 Hz with HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4 compliance. A 5 V power adapter is included for operation.

Suits systems needing separate audio paths

The extractor suits installations where a source device must feed a display and an external audio system simultaneously. It offers three audio modes: PASS, 2.0CH and 5.1CH for compatibility with different soundtracks. It does not support ARC, so televisions that only return audio via ARC cannot be used as the source.

Maximum video resolution 1920 x 1080

The specification table lists a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080, while the manufacturer highlights mention 4K at 30 Hz. Verify which figure matches your source and display before purchase. The device handles DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC3 and DSD audio formats.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LUOM HY-5001 and which step is often missed?

Connect the HDMI source to the input, the display to the HDMI output, and audio to optical or RCA. The step often missed is plugging in the included 5V/1A DC power adaptor; the unit will not pass audio without it.

What maintenance or replacement will the LUOM HY-5001 need later?

No user-serviceable parts are inside. Long-term care is limited to keeping the 5V power adaptor and cables firmly seated; if the external power supply fails, replace it with an equivalent 5V/1A unit.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the LUOM HY-5001?

The HDMI 1.4b link caps video at 1080p or 4K@30Hz with 36-bit deep colour, so extended sessions cannot exceed that bandwidth or resolution ceiling.
