{"title":"Audio Extraction","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"298\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eAudio extraction products are designed to separate the audio signal from an HDMI source, allowing it to be sent to an amplifier, mixer, audio processor, sound system or external speaker setup while the video signal continues to a display, projector or video distribution system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003eThis category is ideal for AV installers, commercial venues, education spaces, hospitality environments, conference rooms, retail displays and home AV systems where audio needs to be routed separately from the display. HDMI audio extractors are commonly used when a TV, projector or display does not provide the required audio output, or when a professional audio system needs to receive sound directly from a source such as a media player, set-top box, laptop, games console, signage player or video matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1582\"\u003eAudio extraction can be particularly useful in commercial AV installations where the display handles the video, but the audio needs to be distributed through ceiling speakers, wall-mounted speakers, background music systems or zone amplifiers. Depending on the product, audio may be extracted via analogue stereo, optical digital, coaxial digital or balanced audio outputs, giving installers a practical way to integrate HDMI sources with a wide range of audio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eMany HDMI audio extractors also support key AV features such as 4K video pass-through, HDCP compatibility, EDID management, ARC or eARC support and selectable audio formats.

It is ideal for commercial AV systems, meeting rooms, classrooms, hospitality venues, retail displays, digital signage systems, residential AV installations and rack-based media systems where greater control over HDMI audio routing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eThe HD11AU can be configured to operate as either an HDMI audio de-embedder or an HDMI audio embedder. In de-embed mode, it extracts audio from an incoming HDMI signal and outputs it simultaneously via analogue stereo and coaxial digital audio connections. This allows audio from an HDMI source to be sent into a separate amplifier, audio processor, powered speaker system, AV receiver or wider distributed audio setup, while the HDMI video continues to pass through to a display, projector or downstream HDMI device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003eThis is particularly useful in commercial environments where display audio is not suitable or where a dedicated audio system is being used. For example, a media player, set-top box or presentation source can feed a display via HDMI, while the audio is extracted and routed into a ceiling speaker system, background music amplifier, DSP or local sound system. In hospitality, education and corporate spaces, this helps deliver a more professional result than relying on built-in screen speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2802\"\u003eIn embed mode, the HD11AU can remove the original audio from the HDMI input signal and embed a separate analogue stereo audio signal onto the HDMI output. This makes it suitable for installations where the video source needs to remain in place but the audio source needs to be changed. An example could include sending a presentation, signage feed or video source to a display while embedding an alternative audio feed from a mixer, audio interface or local source device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2804\" data-end=\"3304\"\u003eThe unit supports 4K UHD video formats including 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz 4:4:4, 4096 x 2160 at 24Hz 4:4:4 and 4K at 60Hz 4:2:0. It also supports standard video resolutions from 480i through to 4K, alongside PC resolutions from VGA to WUXGA. This gives installers flexibility when working with a broad range of HDMI sources and displays, from full HD commercial screens through to 4K UHD display systems. Blustream lists the HD11AU as HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3306\" data-end=\"3845\"\u003eThe HD11AU supports known HDMI audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio transmission, making it suitable for systems where multichannel HDMI audio needs to pass through the HDMI path. The analogue stereo output is designed for 2 channel PCM audio, which is important when connecting into conventional stereo amplifiers or analogue audio systems.

It can take audio from the incoming HDMI signal and output it through multiple connection formats, including HDMI audio only, Optical Toslink, coaxial digital and 3.5mm analogue stereo. This gives installers and end users a wide range of connection options depending on the audio equipment being used. For example, the optical or coaxial digital outputs can be used with compatible AV receivers, soundbars or digital audio processors, while the 3.5mm stereo output can feed a conventional analogue amplifier, active speaker system or local audio input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2635\" data-end=\"3283\"\u003eThis type of HDMI audio extractor is especially valuable where the display does not provide the required audio output, where a projector has limited or no audio connectivity, or where the system requires better sound quality than the built-in speakers of a screen can provide. In commercial AV applications, it can be used to route audio from a signage player, media source or presentation device into a background music system, ceiling speaker amplifier or local sound reinforcement system. In residential setups, it can help connect a games console, media streamer or PC to a dedicated audio system without disrupting the HDMI feed to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3285\" data-end=\"3870\"\u003eThis audio extractor also offers broad audio format support.
