The Marmitek Connect AE24 UHD 2.0 solves common audio connection problems: when a TV has no separate audio output, when you want to use ARC with equipment that does not support it, when an AV amplifier does not handle 4K UHD or 3D video, or when you need to convert a digital optical output to analogue stereo for a HiFi set.

The device passes HDMI 2.0b video — including 4K60, HDR, HDCP 2.2 and all 3D formats — through unchanged to the display, while extracting the audio and routing it to a Toslink optical output, a 3.5 mm stereo output, or a third HDMI audio-only output. ARC support is included for TV-originated audio. Power is supplied by the included 100–240 VAC adapter.

Product Benefits

• The HDMI audio-only output sends audio to an AV amplifier without carrying video, preventing compatibility issues with amplifiers that do not support 4K UHD pass-through
• ARC support lets you feed TV-originated audio (from built-in apps or the internal tuner) to your audio equipment over the same HDMI cable, without an additional optical cable
• The Toslink optical output supports DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital/AC3 and PCM 2.0CH stereo, covering the major surround-sound formats for AV receivers
• The analogue 3.5 mm output delivers 2.0CH stereo for HiFi amplifiers and soundbars without digital inputs
• 18 Gbit/s throughput ensures no compromise on video quality while audio extraction is active
