6. Operating Instructions (DIP Switch Configuration)

The HDMI Audio Extractor features five DIP switches on the front panel for advanced configuration of HDCP, video downscaling, and EDID audio modes. Ensure the device is powered off before changing DIP switch settings, then power it back on for changes to take effect.

Image: A detailed diagram explaining the functionality of each of the five DIP switches. It shows how switches 1, 2, and 3-5 control HDCP, downscaling, and EDID audio combinations, respectively, with various example ezarpenak.

6.1 DIP Switch-en funtzioak

• DIP 1 (HDCP): Controls HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
  • ON: HDCP enabled (default).
  • DESaktibatuta: Strips out HDCP. Useful for capturing protected content (note: may prevent display of protected content on some devices).
• DIP 2 (Downscaling): Controls video resolution downscaling.
  • ON: Downscales 4K video to 1080p.
  • DESaktibatuta: No downscaling (passthrough original resolution).
• DIP 3, 4, 5 (EDID Audio): These three switches control the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) settings for audio output. This tells the source device what audio formats the connected display/audio system supports.

6.2 EDID Audio Mode Examples

The EDID settings determine how the source device outputs audio. Adjust these based on your audio system's capabilities.

Image: A diagram showing various EDID audio modes. It illustrates how different DIP switch combinations (EDID Mode 1, 2, 3) affect the audio output, including 2CH stereo, 5.1CH, and copy mode from HDMI OUT.

Ohar garrantzitsuak:

• For PS5 1080P 120Hz, set DIP 3, 4, 5 to ON.
• If playing 2.1CH audio, SPDIF & 3.5mm audio play in sync.
• If playing 5.1CH audio, SPDIF 5.1CH is on, 3.5mm 2.1CH is off.
• If playing 7.1CH/Atmos, only HDMI OUT will stream the audio. The extractor is not an audio down-mixer.

If you encounter issues with your HDMI Audio Extractor, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Bideo-irteerarik ez:
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected and are high-quality HDMI 2.0 cables (less than 3m).
  • Verify the power supply is connected and the unit is receiving power.
  • Check DIP Switch 1 (HDCP). If your display requires HDCP, ensure DIP 1 is ON. If you are trying to bypass HDCP for capture, ensure your capture device supports the non-HDCP signal.
  • Saiatu HDMI iturria zuzenean pantailara konektatzen iturria eta pantaila behar bezala funtzionatzen dutela baieztatzeko.
• Audio-irteerarik ez:
  • Ensure your audio cables (optical or 3.5mm) are securely connected to the correct ports on the extractor and your audio system.
  • Check the EDID Audio Mode DIP switches (3, 4, 5). Adjust them according to your audio system's capabilities (e.g., 2CH, 5.1CH, 7.1CH).
  • Verify your source device's audio output settings match the EDID mode set on the extractor. For example, if you set the extractor to 5.1CH, ensure your source is outputting 5.1CH.
  • Remember that HDMI output ATMOS will not work simultaneously with SPDIF 5.1ch or 3.5mm 2.1CH. The device is not an audio down-mixer.
  • If using SPDIF for 5.1 sound, ensure your 5.1ch audio system is connected and powered on first.
• Picture Quality Issues (Flickering, No HDR):
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are certified HDMI 2.0 and are not excessively long.
  • Check DIP Switch 2 (Downscaling). If you intend to pass through 4K, ensure DIP 2 is OFF.
  • Verify your display supports the resolution and HDR format being sent by the source.
• CEC Not Working:
  • Ensure CEC is enabled on your source device and display.
  • Some devices may have limited CEC compatibility.
