The HDMI eARC adapter and extractor PT-C-HDEARC-4K routes eARC and ARC signals from a connected TV or the audio signal from a connected HDMI player uncompressed via a separate HDMI audio output, including a 720p black image to an AVR, amplifier, or soundbar. This makes even older AVRs compatible with the latest audio formats. The adapter/extractor is HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.3 compliant, supporting a bandwidth of 18Gbps for resolutions up to 4K/UltraHD at 60Hz, including HDR formats. Two DIP switches can be used to control EDID and eARC or pass-through functions. Pass-through HDMI signals are processed and forwarded using equalization and reclocking.

The PT-C-HDEARC-4K is the ideal tool to make audio multichannel formats compatible with an older AVR, amplifier, or soundbar. The eARC adapter and extractor is also compatible with the HDMI 2.0b specification, including HDCP 2.3, and supports resolutions up to 4K/UltraHD at up to 60Hz with a bandwidth of 18Gbps, including HDR formats such as HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. It has one HDMI input for source devices up to 4K and two HDMI outputs for TVs and AV receivers or soundbars.

Thanks to its compatibility with various multichannel audio formats including LPCM 5.1 and 7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True-HD, Dolby Atmos, DTS 5.1, DTS ES 6.1, DTS HRA, DTS HD Master, DTS:X, as well as stereo signals, it acts as an intermediary between older and newer generation devices that would not be compatible without it. The second output of the PT-C-HDEARC-4K always outputs the uncompressed audio signal along with a 720p black image, ensuring continued compatibility with older AV receivers, amplifiers, and soundbars. If the PT-C-HDEARC-4K is connected to the eARC or ARC port of a TV with a supposedly too high 8K - 60Hz resolution (or even 4K - 120Hz), the audio transmission still works because only the eARC or ARC signal is decoupled.
