PT-C-HDAEDE – HDMI 2.0 Audio Embedder/De-Embedder: Signal Routing and Audio Management for 4K AV Systems
The PT-C-HDAEDE combines HDMI 2.0 video switching with advanced audio embedding and de-embedding, supporting resolutions up to 4K 60Hz (4:4:4) and a total bandwidth of 18Gbps. Designed for professional AV installations, this unit enables precise routing and manipulation of audio signals, including microphone and line-level mixing, within meeting rooms, workspaces, or control environments. The device accommodates both digital and analogue audio sources, offering flexible integration with balanced outputs and S/PDIF, as well as support for ARC and CEC pass-through. Downscaling, firmware updating via USB, and compliance with HDCP 2.2/1.4 further enhance deployment versatility in hybrid and signage applications.

• Comprehensive Audio Embedding/De-Embedding: Audio signals can be embedded into or extracted from HDMI streams, utilising both digital and analogue I/O. This facilitates integration of external microphones or line-level sources, while enabling separate audio routing to amplifiers or recording systems within AV infrastructures.

• Full 4K60 HDMI 2.0 Support: The unit processes video signals up to 4K UltraHD at 60Hz (4:4:4), with a maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps. Deep Colour (12-bit) and HDR compatibility ensure high-fidelity video transmission across modern display and projection systems.

• Advanced Audio Signal Processing: Complex audio manipulation is supported, including MIC/LINE mixing and replacement of HDMI-embedded audio. Volume control and 48V phantom power accommodate a range of microphones, allowing flexible audio management in conferencing and presentation setups.

• Digital and Analogue Audio Outputs: De-embedding options include balanced analogue (PCM 2.0) and digital S/PDIF (up to 5.1), supporting LPCM up to 7.1/24-bit/96kHz, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-X passthrough. This enables direct connection to professional audio equipment or distributed sound systems.

• Downscaling and ARC Pass-Through: Integrated downscaler converts 4K video to 1080p for legacy displays, while ARC and CEC pass-through maintain compatibility with audio return channel and control protocols. This feature set supports mixed-technology environments and ensures operational continuity across diverse AV deployments.

Integrated Audio and Video Signal Management
By combining high-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 processing, flexible audio routing, and support for advanced formats, the PT-C-HDAEDE enables streamlined AV signal management in professional environments. The inclusion of downscaling, firmware update capability, and broad compliance with audio and video standards supports seamless deployment in meeting spaces, control rooms, and hybrid AV installations.
