ATEN HDMI Video Repeater with Audio De-embedder

The ATEN VC880-AT-G is an HDMI repeater with an integrated audio de-embedder that extracts and converts audio from the HDMI input. It repeats HDMI video and audio while providing an additional audio output selection: analog stereo via RCA or digital audio via optical (TOSLINK) or coaxial connectors. The unit supports 3D formats, provides up to 1920 x 1080 resolution, and can extend HDMI signals up to 15 m. Its compact black housing and low power consumption make it suitable for installation with TVs, projectors, A/V receivers or speakers.

Advantages
