The AD-18G de-embedder is HDMI 2.0, 4K60 4:4:4 (18Gbps) rated, with HDR, EDID and CEC pass-through.
In 2Ch mode, it de-embeds the audio simultaneously to all 3 audio outputs (Balance stereo, unbalanced & Coaxial S/PDIF). In Bitstream mode, the audio is de-embedded only to the Coax S/PDIF.
Although it accepts HDCP 1.4/2.2 on the input, it always outputs HDCP 1.4, to ensure that even legacy equipment can receive a valid signal.
The unit is suitable for mounting behind other equipment, thanks to its design and form factor. Mounting brackets are part of the design, to enable fitting to rack shelves, TV brackets, AV credenzas and furniture. To ease installation, all inputs are on one side, with all outputs on the opposite side.
The ability to pass 4K signals is imperative in todays word of Hi-Def cinema.
For example, the AD-18G therefore is good choice for connecting up a UHD Bluray source via an AVR to a Laser Projector.
With AD-18g one could divert the Audio signal out to the AVR for Surround Sound processing, while transmitting the Video signal further up the chain and onto the Home Cinema Projector.
