I don't need the embedder to be 4K compatible until the OSSC starts spitting out 4K Thanks for the recommendation. I've got a monoprice embedder on the way. But will look into your recommendation if this one fails.orange808 wrote:Apologies for being off topic again (not 4k), but I'll share what works with my OSSC.DirkSwizzler wrote:Does anyone have recommendations for embedding digital audio into an hdmi signal? I recently got one of those 7:1 automatic toslink switches from tindie and have cobbled together a piecemeal toslink setup for xbox and ps2 that automatically falls back to analog stereo coming out of my gscartsw 3.4
I tried gofanco Prophecy 4K 60Hz HDMI Audio Extractor & Embedder via S/PDIF Toslink + 3.5 MM Stereo, 4K 60Hz YUV 4:4:4, HDR, HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2, 18Gbps, ARC, CEC, Audio Extraction & Embedded and it doesn't quite work as well as I expected. It mostly gets the job done but I wouldn't recommend it. Seems to have a few video incompatibilities with the OSSC. Occassionally drops frames. As well as the truly bizarre failure of showing video but silent audio for OSSC 5X 1080p. Whereas 5X 1600x1200 passes audio fine.
I use Kramer FC-49 behind a OSSC v1 to embed stereo audio into HDMI 1.3.
It's not 4k and it only does stereo, but it works with everything I've tried.
I really should work a "everything but 4k" set of recommendations into the original post. There are only 2 4K console's I'm aware of. So chaining an "everything but 4k" switch with lots of inputs would probably be smarter than chaining 3 of the HD41s. It would be one less resynchronization hop for OSSC mode changes
