NO eARC TV? NO PROBLEM.

Unlock Dolby Atmos and full HDMI audio without replacing your TV or projector.

Connect your media player, game console or Blu-ray player to an HDfury Arcana and send full-quality audio directly to Sonos Arc, Beam Gen 2 or another ARC/eARC sound system—with video passed separately to your display.

Choose Arcana for 4K HDR systems or Arcana 2 for HDMI 2.1, VRR, 4K120 and 8K.

HDfury Arcana comparison

HDFURY ARCANA or HDFURY ARCANA 2?

Both models send full HDMI audio directly to an ARC/eARC audio system and can reduce lip-sync problems. The main differences are video bandwidth, gaming features, the number of outputs, and the flexibility of the HDMI COPY output.

Which one should you choose?Choose HDFURY ARCANA if 4K60 is sufficient and you mainly need full audio or a Sonos lip-sync solution.Choose HDFURY ARCANA 2 for 4K120, VRR, HDMI 2.1, a second output, or HDMI audio to an older receiver.

Lip sync: what can you actually adjust?

On both models, eARC delay can be enabled and adjusted from 0 to 255 milliseconds. This delays audio when sound leads the picture. The device cannot move already-late audio forward; that cause must be resolved elsewhere in the chain.

No perceptible video delay

According to the manuals, both models add only a few pixel clocks of processing. This is not perceptible in normal use and is separate from the adjustable audio delay.
