Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have a LG OLED TV that outputs only one audio. For example one HDMI to a sound bar OR one optical to my hearing aid device. I want to use my sound bar AND my hearing aid through the optical. Will this do the trick?

A: The HDMI output will still have audio on it. If the sound bar you are using has an HDMI input then yes, this should in theory do the trick.

Q: 2. Will this link a projector, Roku, and Sonos Amp?

A: No, this will not link those products. It is an audio deembedder.

Q: 3. Will this output 1080p 120hz on my ps5?

A: No, this is an extractor that will only support the following video compressions 4K2K @ 50/60 Hz (YUV 4:4:4) 4K2K @ 30 Hz 1080p @ 120 Hz 1080p 3D @ 60 Hz

Q: 4. Does the CEC bypass allow the TV remote's volume control to change the volume of the R/L 3.5mm headphone output?

A: Unfortunately, the Ocean Matrix 4K HDMI to HDMI Audio Extractor/De-Embedder with Dolby ATMOS CEC will not allow the TV's remote to control volume of the 3.5mm output. That will need to be adjusted by using the equipment that the output is connected to.

Q: 5. Is the output on this device ARC compatible? I have other inputs plugged into my tv, and want to make sure that audio will also be extracted.

A: This extractor does not have ARC.

Q: 6. I have a dumb HDMI monitor, not a TV. Will this device extract the audio without audio feedback from the monitor?

A: The DVDO HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor is capable of extracting 2 channel or 5.1 channel audio from an HDMI output device while still passing the audio with video over HDMI. To avoid feedback to external audio monitors, turn down to 0 on any audio from the source and destination display.

Q: 7. Will this accept video output from a video camera (C200 specifically)?

A: The Comprehensive 4K HDMI Audio Extractor is designed to take a 4K signal from devices that can produce that signal, though it has not been tested with cameras. Technically, the Canon EOS C200 Cinema Camera (EF-Mount), B&H # CAC200EF, should be supported but has not been tested.

Q: 8. Does this device extract audio from Apple Tv to output to amplifier via Rca Output?

A: Yes, the DVDO HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor does support HDCP 2.2 and that is one of the requirements for the Apple TV. It should work.

Q: 9. Will this device successfully output sound via optical out to my DACmagic plus from Cambridge Audio? I am planning on connecting this device with either the new apple tv 4k or roku ultra. I will use my Rega Brio analog only integrated amplifier for 2 channel audio. Many thanks for your guidance.

A: Hi Jacques. While we haven't tested the OMX-05HMHM0001 with the DACMagic unit specifically, we don't foresee any issues. You should be able to connect the TOSLINK output of the OMX-05HMHM0001 right to the input of our DACMagic Plus unit and the extracted audio signal should pass without issue as long as the DACMagic supports the audio format being output. Thank you!

Q: 10. Can this matrix send the same feed to many different screens? (one feed to many outputs)

A: Yes, the BZBGEAR 16x16 4K UHD 18Gb/s HDMI Video Matrix with EDID/Downscaling/CEC can send the signal from one input to many outputs at the same time, up to every available connected output.
