4K Vertex² – User Manual
[Enable DD+/ATMOS ARC]:
If your AVR is capable of accepting more than Dolby Digital or DTS or if can
take 192khz Audio via its optical input, you can use Vertex² to extract DD+ and Atmos from TV
embedded streaming APPS and forward it to your AVR via the Vertex² HDMI audio out or optical output.
Only a very few AVR on the market can support 192khz via optical in such case, use HDMI audio out to
feed DD+/ATMOS to your AVR input.
[AUTO]:
Default ARC sound extraction option, only use ARC or HDMI if AUTO does not perform well with
your TV.
[ARC]:
Force Audio OUT to output sound from TX0 ARC
[HDMI]:
Force Audio OUT to output sound from any sources at input.
[SEND CEC TEST COMMAND]:
Enter the CEC command of your choice in this text field in HEX format.
If you are not sure about how to format your command, we recommend you to visit the very well done
[RS232 COMMAND]:

and ready to communicate via RS232.
[RS232 BAUD RATE]:
Set the RS232 link speed (default 19200)
[Send Ascii]:

[REFRESH]
: Refresh the current page.
Note:
CEC/ARC master is TX0, if you want ARC from the TV; you need to connect your TV ARC capable
input to Vertex² HDMI TX0 OUTPUT and set the unit as Audio Processor under Vertex² CEC device type.
Note on eARC
: eARC does not rely on CEC, therefor it is not needed to select any CEC options in order to
extract up to Dolby Atmos HBR over TrueHD from capable eARC TV. That is always done automatically
and forwarded to HDMI audio out of the Vertex² so you can feed any AVR input with it.
