Extron HAI 100 4K makes the integration of audio into HDMI signals more flexible for AV applications

This solution is designed for audiovisual applications that require a sound system embedded in an HDMI video signal., in addition to facilitating the transition to 4K video resolutions.

The HAI 100 4K the Extron Electronics is an audio embedder that integrates two-channel analog audio or two-channel S/PDIF digital audio into the output HDMI signal.. Es compatible con HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), supports data speeds up to 10,2 Gbps and supports video resolutions up to 4K.

This Extron solution includes an HDMI input, analog stereo audio and S/PDIF audio inputs, as well as an HDMI output. The HAI 100 4K includes several easy-to-integrate features such as adjustable gain control for analog audio input, EDID Minder to optimize and simplify the integration of fonts and display devices, plus HDMI input cable equalization.

EDID Minder is an Extron technology that automatically manages EDID communication between the display device and input source, ensuring the correct video formats are reliably displayed. Input HDMI cable equalization compensates for weak source signals and signal loss caused by using long input cables.

The LEDs on the front panel offer a complete visualization of the device status in real time, including the presence of HDMI I/O signal and HDCP authentication. A USB port on the front panel provides access for device configuration. Besides, can be configured using the PCS (Product Configuration Software) with an easy-to-use GUI that makes navigation easy. This app streamlines setup and allows you to configure multiple HAI units 100 4K in the same session.

The HAI 100 4K is housed in a compact metal housing of 2,5 cm height and a quarter of rack width. Dimensions that simplify installation in a wide variety of applications.

“The HAI 100 4K is an essential component in many AV applications. Integrators often have to implement audio on an HDMI signal and with the migration to systems that support 4K, “This product is an ideal complement”, says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Extron.

This versatile solution from Extron is suitable for applications requiring an embedded sound system over an HDMI video signal., supporting systems that rely on HDMI for signal distribution.

Besides, to compensate for signal loss over long cables, input HDMI signals are equalized up to 15 meters in 4K or 30 meters in 1080p/60 when using Extron HDMI Pro cables alongside the device.
