The Extron HAE 100 4K is an audio de-embedder that extracts the audio from an HDMI signal, including audio from 4K sources. The HAE 100 4K provides an analog output for stereo or dual mono signals, as well as an S/PDIF digital audio output that supports two-channel or digital multi-channel signals. It is HDCP compliant, supports data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, and is compatible with video resolutions up to 4K. The HAE 100 4K is equipped with several integrator-friendly features such as a buffered HDMI video output with EDID Minder for simplified EDID management between the input source and the display, plus HDMI input cable equalization and comprehensive LED status display.
To enhance and simplify integration of sources and displays, and to help ensure optimal system performance, the HAE 100 4K features EDID Minder. EDID Minder is an Extron-exclusive technology that automatically manages EDID communication between the display device and input source to ensure that the correct video formats are displayed reliably. HDMI input cable equalization compensates for weak source signals or signal loss when using long input cable assemblies.
LEDs on the front panel offer comprehensive, real-time device status monitoring, including HDMI I/O signal presence, HDCP authentication, and whether the extracted audio is two-channel LPCM or encoded bitstream audio for Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround. A front panel USB port provides convenient access for device configuration.
