Key Product Advantages
This audio extractor bridges modern HDMI sources with legacy audio equipment, eliminating the need for costly system upgrades. It maintains full 4K 60Hz HDR video quality while providing clean, isolated audio signals for professional or home theater applications.
Legacy System Compatibility
Convert multi-channel HDMI audio to stereo analog via RCA outputs or digital optical via Toslink, making it compatible with older receivers and amplifiers that lack HDMI inputs.
- Works with home theater systems
- Compatible with professional sound amplifiers
- Preserves audio quality during conversion
Video Integrity
Passes through 4K video at 60Hz with HDR metadata unchanged, ensuring no degradation to video quality while audio is extracted separately.
- Supports 4096x2160 resolution
- Maintains 60Hz refresh rate
- HDR pass-through capability
Deployment / Use Cases
The HD202A is ideal for AV integration scenarios where audio needs to be separated from HDMI video signals. Common deployments include home theater setups where modern gaming consoles or media players connect to older audio receivers, professional presentation systems requiring separate audio feeds, and digital signage installations where audio must route to different zones.
Installation is straightforward with included mounting brackets and screws for secure placement in equipment racks, behind displays, or on workbenches. The universal power adapter simplifies international deployments by supporting multiple regional power standards without additional adapters.
Home Theater Integration
Connect modern 4K Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, or streaming devices to legacy audio receivers that only have optical or RCA inputs, preserving both high-quality video and audio.
Professional AV Systems
Use in conference rooms, classrooms, or digital signage installations to separate audio for zone distribution or recording while maintaining 4K video display quality.
Physical Profile
The compact black enclosure measures 3.10" wide by 3.50" deep by 0.90" high, with a weight of 11.3 ounces. This small footprint allows installation in space-constrained environments like AV racks, behind wall-mounted displays, or on crowded equipment shelves. The included mounting brackets and screws provide secure attachment options for permanent installations.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.90" (22.86 mm), 3.10" (78.74 mm), 3.50" (88.90 mm), 11.30 oz (320.35 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
