Frequently Asked Questions - ADC11AU Blustream

What is the Blustream ADC11AU used for?

The Blustream ADC11AU is an audio/video converter that extracts audio from an HDMI signal and outputs it via optical Toslink or analog RCA, while simultaneously passing through the video to an HDMI display.

What video resolutions does the ADC11AU support?

It supports standard resolutions up to 1080p, including 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, and 1080i.

Can I use the ADC11AU with a 4K source?

No, the ADC11AU is designed for 1080p and lower resolutions. For 4K compatibility, consider the Blustream ADC12AU or similar.

Does the ADC11AU require external power?

Yes, it requires a 5V DC power supply. An adapter is included, or it can be powered via a USB port.

How do I connect the ADC11AU for audio extraction?

Connect an HDMI source to the input, then connect the HDMI output to your display. For audio, use the Toslink optical or RCA outputs to your amplifier or soundbar.

Does the ADC11AU support Dolby Digital and DTS?

Yes, it passes through Dolby Digital and DTS audio formats from the HDMI input to the optical output.

Is the ADC11AU HDCP compliant?

Yes, it supports HDCP 1.4, ensuring compatibility with most protected content.

What should I do if there is no audio output?

Check that the HDMI source is outputting audio, the correct output is selected (optical or analog), and the receiving device is properly connected and powered. Also try a power cycle of the converter.

Can I use the ADC11AU to convert analog audio to digital?

No, the ADC11AU only extracts audio from HDMI. It does not convert analog signals to digital. For analog-to-digital conversion, see the Blustream ADC21AU.

How do I clean and maintain the ADC11AU?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep the device in a ventilated area and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
