The Atlona HDMI (1.3) Audio De-Embedder with 3D Support is designed to de-embed audio from HDMI 1.3 or lower signals for transfer to either optical or multi-channel analog audio outputs. Supporting uncompressed analog LPCM 7.1 and 5.1/ 2ch through multi-channel analog outputs and Dolby Digital, LPCM 2CH, and DTS via the optical link, it offers Dolby True HD and DTS HD master audio pass through HDMI connection.
With support for high resolution up to 1080p, the HDMI (1.3) Audio De-Embedder is compatible with digital video formats in deep color mode from 25 MHz to 6.75 GHz for 36 bits. While video signals are bypassed without scaling, the audio de-embedder offers amplification and equalization with reclocking function, which enables it to act as a booster and repeater. In addition, it is 3D capable for processing of 3D video formats.

Comments about Atlona HDMI (1.3) Audio De-Embedder with 3D Support:
The documentation that comes with the device is pretty awful.
The unit does strip and distribute the audio from hdmi like it was designed to do, however when set to "stereo" mode, audio is still bleeding into the other surround channels.
The trs-to-rca adapters that the manufacturer recommends barely fit into the sockets together. It is obvious there is strain on the circuitboard.
The signal source had to be reconfigured to allow stereo operation, otherwise there is channel bleed....it's almost as if the "stereo mode" on the device just pads the excess channels, but not completely.
Ultimately this device will allow you to use a professional audio interface for surround sound, sadly it lacks balanced outputs or adat lightpipe.

Comments about Atlona HDMI (1.3) Audio De-Embedder with 3D Support:
Simple useful little box. Pass through of HDMI signal works perfectly. Audio was clean.
The box seems a little pricey for what it does but i don't see a less expensive alternative. It might be nice, at this price, to have balanced audio outs instead of 1/8" jacks. So, use of this, without additional stuff (DI box of some sort), would be limited to short cable runs.
