Audio/Video Converters

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.

Metra Ethereal HDMI Surge Protector, HDM-SP3

What the HDM-SP3 can and cannot do:

The HDM-SP3 was designed to clamp ESD* spikes up to 8000 volts (IEC 61000) down all channels including the TMDS and DDC lines. This will provide excellent protection from the ESD spikes that enter your systems through any of the data ports (Coax, Ethernet and Serial), usually from your CATV/Internet provider.

What the HDM-SP3 does not protect you from, direct lighting strikes, sorry but this is well beyond 8000 volts.

Minor over voltage, this is sadly something that we are seeing a lot more of and it is not a spike or surge. It is instead a constant feed of too much voltage that is passed onto the HDMI feeds and eventually wears out the HDMI ports downstream.

Think of it as being subject to a constant barrage of (very) loud music that you do not even like.

ESD* Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown.
