18Gbps 4K HDR HDBaseT Extender with True ARC and Audio Breakout
Part of the latest generation of WyreStorm 4K extenders for the latest generation of 4K HDR content, the EX-35-ARC features dynamic compression for delivery of 4K/60 4:4:4 and HDR content up to 17.8Gbps over standard HDBaseT, both visually losslessly and without latency.
With support for HDR-10 and HLG up to 60Hz, and Dolby Vision™ at 30Hz, the EX-35-H2-ARC offers True Audio Return Channel (ARC), enabling an ARC signal from a Smart TV HDMI input to be passed to an AVR HDMI output.
HDMI 2.0 MAXED-OUT
Knowing the speed at which technology moves, at WyreStorm we’re always looking ahead. That’s why we’ve included our VLC chipset (Visually Lossless Compression) in this extender meaning not only ARC is supported but also the next shift in content technology: 60Hz HDR and 4:4:4 60Hz.
ON-DEMAND AUDIO
With on-demand content forming the new way of watching TV, free the audio from within a SmartTV with the WyreStorm EX-35-H2-ARC HDBaseT™ extender, supporting both True ARC (via HDMI) or optical audio return.
HIGH FRAME RATE HDR
HDR Content has recently enjoyed an up-shift in refresh rates after starting its life at 24Hz on UHD Blu-Ray discs. High frame-rate HDR is now available at 60Hz on certain discs and via games consoles like the Xbox One X; the EX-35-H2-ARC is ready for this, supporting both HDR-10, HLG and Dolby Vision* (*Dolby Vision at up to 30Hz).
AUDIO DE-EMBED
Fully-featured audio performance doesn’t stop at the ability to handle ARC, the transmitter of the EX-35-H2-ARC offers the ability to extract 2ch PCM audio from the source via the 3-pin phoenix port for connection to an audio system.
