HDMI Audio Extraction to Optical and RCA

The LUOM HY-5001 extracts digital audio from an HDMI source and sends it through optical Toslink SPDIF and RCA L/R stereo outputs while passing the original video signal to an HDMI display. It supports resolutions up to 4K@30Hz, Full HD 1080P and 3D with 36-bit deep colour. The unit is powered by an included 5V adapter and offers three audio mode settings: PASS, 2.0CH and 5.1CH. Compatible sources include Blu-ray players, game consoles, streaming sticks and PCs.

For Systems Needing Separate Audio Paths

This splitter suits installations where the display handles video but an external amplifier, soundbar or AV receiver processes sound. It provides both digital optical and analogue stereo outputs simultaneously. Buyers who require ARC functionality should look elsewhere, as this extractor does not support that feature. It is also not intended for switching between multiple HDMI sources, since only a single HDMI input is available.

4K@30Hz Maximum Video Pass-Through

The highest video resolution passed through the HDMI output is 4K at 30Hz with HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4 compliance. This specification determines whether the extractor matches the source and display capabilities in a given setup. Audio formats supported include DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC3 and DSD.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the PASS, 2.0CH or 5.1CH audio mode on the HY-5001?

Use PASS for bitstream formats like DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD, 2.0CH for stereo RCA output, and 5.1CH for surround sound via optical SPDIF.

What does the 4K@30Hz rating mean when I connect this extractor to my display?

The HDMI output passes video up to 4K at 30 Hz with 36-bit deep colour; higher refresh rates are not supported.

Which HDMI version does the HY-5001 use and what does that limit in practice?

It uses HDMI 1.4b, which caps video at 4K@30Hz and prevents ARC or eARC functionality.
