Description
This Audio Extender can transmit digital optical and analog audio signals concurrently up to a distance of 300m/990ft (48kHz), 150m/495ft (96kHz) or 100m/330ft (192kHz) over a single CAT5E/6 cable. The digital optical audio is directly passed from transmitter to receiver. The analog audio output on receiver is selectable from the digital optical or the analog audio signal from transmitter. The extender supports bidirectional POC function.
This is a fantastic plug and play solution for sending optical fiber and analog audio from an HDTV back to an amplifier, AVR or multi-room audio system which requires an analog stereo audio input signal.
