BZB GEAR BG-AEE 4K Ultra HD HDMI Audio Embedder and Extractor

When it comes to high-quality audio and video management, the BG-AEE 4K Ultra HD HDMI Audio Embedder and Extractor stands out. This HDMI 2.0 device operates in two distinct modes, offering versatility for your audio-visual needs. In one mode, it extracts audio from an HDMI input source via L/R output, while in the other, it removes the original audio from an HDMI source and embeds auxiliary audio via L/R input to the HDMI output.

The BG-AEE also features embedded pre-set EDID's, making it an excellent testing device in the video signal chain. It supports third-party control systems with an array of connections, including RS-232, LAN, IR, and USB.

With the introduction of HDMI 2.0, this device can handle a maximum bandwidth of 18GBPS, a significant improvement over the 10.2 Gbps limit of HDMI 1.4. It supports 4K 60 4:4:4 Ultra HD resolution, which equates to a TV resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. This pixel density, four times higher than full HD TV, results in a clearer, more defined picture.

The BG-AEE also features an Audio Return Channel (ARC), typically in the form of an SPDIF (Fiber Optic) port on a display. This connection is responsible for returning audio from the HDMI input, providing sound back to a surround sound receiver or amplifier for audio distribution.

Equipped with HDCP 2.2, the latest High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection technology, the BG-AEE is designed to prevent illegal copying of 4K Ultra HD content. It also utilizes EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to read information from a display for the purpose of matching sources. This includes manufacturer name, serial number, product type, filter type, timings, size luminance, and pixel mapping, ensuring compatibility for signal transmission and reception. This feature is crucial in resolving potential EDID conflicts that may result in no picture.

In summary, the BG-AEE 4K Ultra HD HDMI Audio Embedder and Extractor is a versatile, high-performance device designed to enhance your audio-visual experience.
