Purpose and Audience

The StarTech HD202A extracts audio from an HDMI 2.0 stream so it can be sent to a separate sound system. It supports 4K 60Hz video pass-through at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 and 18 Gbps bandwidth. The unit is aimed at installers who need to keep an existing amplifier or soundbar while upgrading to a 4K source such as a Blu-ray player or media streamer.

Setup Checks

Verify that your source device outputs HDMI 2.0 and that your display accepts the same 4K 60Hz signal with HDR pass-through. Confirm you have an available Toslink optical input or dual RCA analogue inputs on the audio equipment you plan to connect. The extractor requires the included universal power adapter, so ensure a mains socket is reachable at the install location.

Build and Daily Use

A compact metal enclosure ships with two mounting brackets and screws for surface or rack attachment. Front-panel connectors provide one HDMI input, one HDMI output, one Toslink optical port and dual RCA jacks for simultaneous digital and analogue audio extraction. EDID management handles 2-channel, 5.1-channel and pass-through modes without software configuration.
