Description
The WyreStorm EX-40-H2-ARC is a compact HDBaseT 2.0 extender pair designed to transport uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video and advanced HDR formats over structured copper cabling while preserving audio return options. The EX-40-H2-ARC supports ARC and S/PDIF from the display back to the source plus an analog 2ch audio breakout at the HDMI input for legacy amplifiers.
Each kit uses a single Cat6a/7 cable to deliver HDMI 2.0 bandwidth and HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. The units provide bi-directional PoC, IR pass-through and RS-232 control to simplify power and control wiring in residential AV and custom install environments.
WyreStorm EX-40-H2-ARC pairs are optimized for installations that require audio return flexibility and analog audio extraction while maintaining low latency video transport; the RX-to-TX ARC/S/PDIF path and EDID copy streamline integration with modern TVs and legacy audio gear.
