4K HDMI Audio Extractor HY-5001

The ESTONE HY-5001 extracts audio from an HDMI source and provides simultaneous HDMI, optical Toslink SPDIF and analogue RCA stereo outputs. It accepts video up to 4K at 30 Hz and passes the original signal through to a display. A 5 V power adapter is included.

Home cinema and gaming setups

This unit suits users who need to send audio from a Blu-ray player, games console or streaming stick to a soundbar, AV receiver or amplifier that lacks HDMI inputs. It is not for installations that require HDMI ARC or eARC functionality. Buyers who need to extract audio from multiple HDMI sources simultaneously should look at a matrix switch instead.

Maximum video resolution 1920 x 1080

The specifications list a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080, while the highlights mention 4K at 30 Hz and HDMI 1.4b support. Verify which figure matches your source and display before purchase. The extractor also offers three audio modes: PASS, 2.0CH and 5.1CH.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the PASS, 2.0CH or 5.1CH audio mode for my setup?

Use PASS to send the source format unchanged to a receiver that decodes DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD. Choose 2.0CH for stereo soundbars or analogue RCA connections. Choose 5.1CH when your AV system supports multichannel but not the high-bitrate codecs.

What does the 4K@30Hz rating mean when I connect this extractor to my display?

The unit passes video up to 4K at 30 Hz with HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4, so a 4K TV will show the picture at that refresh rate while audio is sent separately to optical or RCA outputs.

Does the HDMI 1.4b interface limit the audio formats I can get through the optical port?

The HDMI 1.4b link carries up to 7.1-channel LPCM and bitstream formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, which the extractor can output via optical SPDIF in PASS mode; ARC is not supported.
