Audio/Video Converters

Vanco 280573 HDMI Audio Extractor, HDMI Audio Extractor

When it comes to home theater equipment, we all want to hold onto what we’ve got. Receivers especially are built to last. HDMI has taken over the world of audio-video technology, but any receiver purchased before 2003- and some purchased much later- do not have any way to connect to HDMI. That doesn’t mean you should have to buy expensive replacements or tolerate analog video. If your devices don’t have a separate audio output, the only way to separate the audio from an HDMI cable is by using a converting device like Vanco’s 280573 HDMI Audio Extractor.

This HDMI Audio Extractor accepts a single HDMI in. The video is carried along to the HDMI which you would then plug straight into your television. For the audio out, you have several options. For digitally compatible receivers, there is an optical and a digital coax slot. 3.5mm is the analog output, which can be changed to left and right RCA with a small, simple adapter. There are buttons on the side to change the output to either 5.1 for the digital options or 2-channel for analog.

The HDMI output on the 280573 audio extractor is fully HDCP compliant and leaves all high-resolution and 3D features intact. Set-up is simple and the small size means you can neatly hide it. All you need are the cables and an available outlet. The provided 5v power supply must be plugged in for this device to properly convert your signal. This audio extractor isn’t exclusively for use with older receivers! It can be used with an endless list of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, computers, and more.

Audio Delay Device

The PA-ADS1 is an analog audio delay device with simple stereo RCA audio input and output to resolve “lip sync” issues in audio and video systems. Often analog audio would be processed faster than the digital video content which results in audio and video out of sync. The PA-ADS1 is a simple and perfect solution with 16 increments to delay audio anywhere from 20ms to 340ms with a turn of a dial.

PulseAudio HDMI Audio Extractor with eARC And ARC

The PulseAudio PA-EARCX is an HDMI audio extractor that can de-embed or break out audio from an HDMI 4K HDR display equipped with Audio Return Channel (ARC) and/or Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). Break out audio from the HDMI signal to a soundbar, A/V Receiver, or amplifier without affecting the HDMI 2.0 output to the main display. Features two HDMI outputs, one for video capable of passing 18 Gbps, 4K@60Hz with HDR content, while the second HDMI output is dedicated for extracting ARC/eARC audio. For extracting audio from the latest 4K and eARC components, the PA-EARCX is the perfect solution.

A Penny Saved

When it comes to home theater equipment, we all want to hold onto what we’ve got. Receivers especially are built to last. Digital signals have taken over the world of audio-video technology, but any receiver purchased before the digital boom- and some purchased much later- may not have the inputs you need to take advantage of new equipment. That doesn’t mean you should have to buy expensive replacements or skip the receiver altogether. If your devices don’t have a digital audio input, the only way to integrate them into modern gadgets may be using Vanco’s 280515 Premium Digital to Analog Audio Converter.

This audio converter can accept signal from either digital coax or optical and a convenient switch allows you to easily select which input you are using. The signal is sent back out of the box as red and white L/R RCA, but this can be easily changed to a 3.5mm plug by using a simple adapter. Set-up is simple and an indicator light allows you to see when you are up and running. All you need to properly install the Vanco 280515 are cables and an available wall outlet. This converter requires an electrical source to operate, but the 5v power supply is included.

This audio converter isn’t exclusively for use with older receivers! DTS/Dolby Digital compatible, it can be used with an endless list of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, computers, and more. Keep in mind, converting from a digital signal will unfortunately reduce your channel output to the standard analog left and right stereo. Your satisfaction is guaranteed and the Vanco 280515 digital to analog audio converter comes with a one-year warranty to ensure you can get the most out of your older equipment.

Techlogix Networx TL-AD-HD2 HDMI Audio Decoder and Converter

So you just installed this awesome surround sound audio system. You fire up Boston “More Than a Feeling” and listen to the pounding sounds symphony from the speakers placed around the room. The bass sounds great and the equalization is perfect. Life is good.

Wouldn’t it be great if Brad Delp’s sweet lyrics could be broadcast throughout the rest of the building? Maybe a little overflow audio into the second conference room? Good luck…

Surround sound is great for in-room applications, whether in a home theater, conference room, church, or auditorium. It’s not so great for overhead speakers or room-to-room distribution. So how do you handle connecting multichannel audio systems to traditional audio distribution?

Meet the TL-AD-HD2—it’s the greatest thing since Boston’s debut in the seventies. The TL-AD-HD2 converts digital audio to analog audio and decodes multichannel audio to stereo audio. It essentially changes your audio format so a single facility, system or building can have both a multichannel zone and stereo audio zones.
