Combining a Four Input HDMI switch with a Four Input Optical Digital Audio switch this unit is ideal for customers who own an HDMI equipped TV plus a Home Theater system with an Optical Digital Audio Input.

Uniquely, the HD41-ARC includes an ARC compliant HDMI Output port - connect the Switch to your ARC enabled TV and you can route the TV Digital Audio via the HD41-ARC Optical Output to your AV Amp. Connect an HDMI cable and an Optical Digital Audio cable from each Source to the HD41-ARC. Connect a single HDMI cable from the Switch to your TV and a single Optical cable from the switch to your AV Amp’s Digital Audio Input.

The Octava 4x1 HDMI switch + ARC includes: 4 HDMI inputs, 4 Optical Audio inputs, 1 Optical Audio output, and 1 HDMI output with ARC support.

The Optical Audio Output can operate in 3 modes which allow total flexibility to users:
1) Convert HDMI Input source to Optical Audio Format
2) Convert HDMI ARC from HDTV to Optical Audio Format
3) Switch directly from 4 Optical inputs to the Optical Output

HDMI is backward compatible with DVI-D. This switch will work with either DVI or HDMI. We understand that you may have a "mixed" system and require different cables. We allow you to choose the type of cable that you need during purchase. The HD41-ARC is the first switch in our range to include USB port to enable simple Firmware updates. When used in the Optical switching mode, the Optical source can be independent from HDMI source selection. For example, you may view a video on the HDTV while listening to a different audio source via Optical Input.

The inbuilt HDMI 1.3 compliant 'Clear Eye' technology ensures your source signals arrive at your display in pristine condition. Our proprietary Clear EYETM transmission line and ISI reduction design will improve the digital video signals. Smart ScanTM algorithm intelligently selects the correct HDMI source so you can enjoy the program instead of fumbling with the remote. Use the supplied Credit Card style remote to toggle Video + Audio in tandem or toggle Video or Audio independently - allowing you to view one Source and Listen to a different Source.

Rear IR socker allows you to install the switch within your AV cabinet.
