Gefen GTV-HDMI-2-HDMIAUD Hdmi to Hdmi Audio Converter

Product Description

The GEFEN GTV-HDMI-2-HDMIAUD is an AV signal processing converter that accepts an HDMI input signal and outputs both an HDMI signal and a discrete audio signal simultaneously. This type of device is used to extract or de-embed audio from an HDMI stream, allowing installers to route video to a display while sending audio to a separate amplifier, receiver, or audio distribution system. It is typically installed by AV integration professionals and low-voltage technicians working on residential or commercial AV systems where independent audio routing is required.

This converter is suited for installations where a display device does not pass audio back through ARC or where a separate audio zone needs to be fed without interrupting the HDMI video path. Common scenarios include conference rooms, home theater setups, digital signage installations, and multi-zone AV systems where the audio and video signals must be handled by separate components downstream.

Key Features

• Converts a single HDMI input to simultaneous HDMI video output plus discrete audio output
• Enables audio de-embedding from HDMI signal streams
• Supports AV signal processing workflows in residential and commercial installations
• Sold as a single unit for individual installation or system integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style AV signal processing accessory for use in HDMI-based audio and video distribution systems where audio extraction or de-embedding from an HDMI source is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV systems technician. Power down all source devices and displays before connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables. Verify that downstream audio equipment input specifications match the output format provided by this converter before completing the signal chain. Installation should conform to applicable low-voltage wiring codes and the AV system design requirements of the project.
