HD Fury AVR Key 18Gbps 1x2 HDMI Audio Extractor

Excellent product. Like many people I have an AV system which won't support the higher video standards and HDCP required to get the best from the latest streamers and a 4K tv. Simply putting this in - line solves this at a stroke. HOWEVER! 1) Make sure you update the software first. The product is actively supported and you will want the latest version. Updating is easy if you have a windows PC. 2) Use the windows config tool. May just be me, but the switch combinations and button push sequences for configuring without simply made my head spin. The config tool is far from perfect visually, but it works well to lay out your options in a direct manner. 3) Be careful when you plug it in! It's easy to move the config switches if you're working in a tight space. 4) That's it! Mine are both happily pushing 4k video only content to my TV while sending a fake 1080p blank video with any audio standard to the AVR. All my components are happy. There are no noticeable delays, glitches or any other negatives. My Apple TV4k is working magnificently through one, My Firetv HD stick is exactly as unreliable through another as it is on its own, but when it decides that it can do audio and that the audio should be in sync with the video, it works just as well as the Apple, within its constraints. The Fire tv problems are nothing to do with this being in the line, I should emphasise The only thing you will need to consider is whether this is the correct product for your application. It does the above. That's all it does. It doesn't switch, it doesn't do ARC of any flavour, it doesn't scale or enhance. It just sorts out a one way communication issue for one connection, and it does that magnificently. If you need any other features, you need something else. There are plenty of other options from the same manufacturer. Remember too that you will need a spare HDMI socket on BOTH your TV AND your AVR, so the TV is likely to become the constraint for devices. If this is an issue for you, you'll probably want to look at the Vertex model instead, or the Vertex2 which is looking very tasty with eARC capability on top of switching and a whole host of other features.

So I had a 4k amp, so I thought and got a new 4k projector but because my amp doesn't support HDCP 2.2 it didn't work with my Amazon Fire stick. As in it would not play in 4k, only HD. We're talking an expensive amp so didn't want to replace it yet. Initially I split the signal with HDMI to the projector and then a optical lead from the projector to the amp. This is okay, but does not support the higher audio schemes such as Dolby Digital Plus (what Netflix uses) which need HDMI for the audio signal. Just an HDMI splitter doesn't work either coz these cables authenticate the signal and your Amazon Fire will receive a signal from your amp saying it doesn't support HDCP 2.2. and will stop the signal going to your 4k display/projector. Anyway, this device DOES work in this scenario. So I have my Amazon Fire going to this box, then one HDMI carrying the audio going to the non-compliant amp, and the other HDMI going to my 4k projector. Phew!

This is a great little device. Whilst this may look expensive its far cheaper than buying a new AVR. I found my future proof amp wasn't so future proof when I invested in 4K HDR technology. I connect the HDMI output from my Vero 4K+ (a device I'd thoroughly recommend to people but not available from Amazon) to the HD Fury's input, then one HDMI out from the Fury to my amp and the other one to my TV and now get all sound formats sent correctly to my amp and full 4K HDR sent to my TV, something I couldn't achieve before buying this. I'd recommend investing in a couple of certified high speed HDMI cables to go with this little device, along with connecting it to a PC before using it to get the latest firmware updates as mine came with old firmware. As I said starting out its not cheap but it works really well and has saved me the cost of buying a new AVR when the one I have now is only 2 years old

After trying a few splitters I found the HD Fury on Amazon and although a bit more expensive all I can say is what a fantastic piece of kit this little marvel is. It works supremely well and does what it actually says on the box without even having to change any of the settings. I have now had my system up and running for the past three weeks with 4K UHD to my TV and both Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio to my AVR, now I can sit back and relax and enjoy My verdict: simple and sophisticated and "WORTH EVERY PENNY". My many thanks also goes to Joe at "The Media Factory" who was so generous in all his assistance with the help and guidance he provided me in getting the best out of my set up, a real gem Glyn Landrey

Recently got some Sony Wireless headphones but as the box that came with it didn't support 4K@60 i had to use this to split the video/audio. I'm sending the 4K@60 to my TV and audio to headphones. Still get full DTS-HD, TrueHD etc doesn't seem to lower the quality at all. My only issues is the amount of heat this thing generates, If your watching a 4K HDR Movie, at the end you can barely touch the device, Would of been nice to design something with better airflow to keep it cooler.

I have a setup in which there are two PC's and I wanted to stream full range audio to a av receiver so that I can decode a full range of audio formats including Tru-HD and DTS-HD. With the aid of a TESmart 2x1 HDMI KVM Switch, I was able to get the video to go to my monitor and the audio to my amp. It is expensive but worth it. UPDATE 29.04.2021. I purchased another one before it sold out, fabulous device saved me a few thousand ££££s, by allowing to mate a old avr with a really amp section, to a updated video section switcher in the form of a TESMART KVM . Thank you HDFury. Make a replacement so that we can use old avr's in world that wants to reduce wastage.

Il prodotto è perfetto se si vuole abbinare una sorgente "scalabile" come un home theater PC utilizzandolo a pieno potenziale di TV recente con HDMI 2.0 e utilizzando contemporaneamente un decorder con "solo" un ingresso HDMI 1.4. Al preampli, interponendo hdf0100 AVR Key, arriva in pass through il segnale in HD audio in formato HDMI 1.4, compreso eventualmente le codifica ad oggetto del Dolby atmos o DTS X o Auro 3D - ammesso che il decoder le sappia interpretare- , (ovviamente anche Dolby true HD, DTS master audio...) mentre il video 4.2.0 o la sua elaborazione 4.4.4 data da uhd 3840x2160@60Hz viene mandata sia in audio che in video al TV o al videoproiettore. In sostanza non ti impone di cambiare il decoder audio per goderti il video 4K. Unico problema: sembra che le prime TV UHD, abbiano un sistema DRM che non sia interpretabile, o parzialmente interpretabile dal nostro scatolino, per cui tende a scaldare più del solito e (ma è tutto da verificare) possa creare malfunzionamenti con una rete LAN domestica. Il prodotto è costoso ma risolve situazioni in cui gli apparecchi smettono di funzionare a causa dei diversi livelli di gestione dei diritti dei diversi apparecchi audio e video che si collegano fra di loro.

Ce petit module remplit parfaitement sa fonction. Dans mon cas, il s'agit de séparer les flux audio et vidéo. L'un part directement vers mon ampli HC tandis que le flux vidéo est envoyé vers la TV. Je peux donc à présent profiter à la fois d'un son HD et d'une image HDR, ce qui n'était pas possible avant car mon ampli ne prend pas ce type de signal en compte. A conseiller sans hésiter.

Gerät funktioniert sehr gut. Braucht man unbedingt Netzteil 2A 5v. Ich habe meine heimedia pro durch avrkey an meiner Samsung q7 angeschlossen und die tun läuft über HDMI Port zur AV-Receiver(Yamaha rxv677).

Magnífico splitter que cumple con lo que promete. Es el más caro ,en efecto, pero vas sobre seguro. 4K 60p 4:4:4 El resto son baratijas chinas que en su inmensa mayoría no son capaces de manejar la resolución máxima. Sí tienes un AVR antiguo y quieres disfrutar del 4K HDR -sin no perder los audios HD- este es tu aparato.

Lo primero que debo decir es que es, de los 4 o 5 que he probado, que cumple realmente su función. Necesitaba un dispositivo que dividiera la señal HDMI en una con el vídeo 4K para la tele y otra con el audio para el receptor AV antiguo que tengo. Compré creo recordar 4 dispositivos antes que este por su precio, pero ninguno funcionaba. Este lo hace prácticamente perfecto. Sin embargo, le doy una estrella menos por dos temas. El primero su construcción. Es de puro plástico. Parece un dispositivo cutre comprado en los chinos. Teniendo en cuenta su precio, podrían haber invertido algo más en su diseño y haberlo fabricado en metal. Algunos de los que compré antes valían menos de la mitad y tenían un diseño muy superior. Además, el metal hubiera ayudado a que el dispositivo se caliente menos, porque tras usarlo no puedes tocarlo porque te quema. El segundo es su elevado precio. Como digo, no está justificado. Su diseño y construcción son de poca calidad. Creo que se aprovechan de la escasez de este tipo de dispositivos. Por último, un consejo para futuros compradores. Si queréis actualizar el firmware del dispositivo acordaros de ejecutar los dos archivos que se pueden descargar de la página web. Yo solo ejecuté uno porque no entendí bien las instrucciones y no había forma de que funcionara el dispositivo. Estuve a punto de devolverlo justo antes de descubrirlo.
