Currently I have the following sources a Nvidia ShieldTV, PS4Pro and SetTopBox connected to my amplifier. The amplifier is connected to my TV. The amplifier does not allow to forward 4K video to the TV. The TV is eARC capable but the amplifier is just plain ARC capable. So connecting the sources to the TV directly will not work (for all audio formats). I could buy a new amplifier, but that is wasteful and costly. So I was thinking of buying a HDMI 4x2 Matrix/Switch with 4 inputs and 2 outputs, there are a few quite cheap ones equipped with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and capable of handling forwarding of all audio formats. Also I need to route the Smart TV audio (Netflix, YouTube etc) to the amplifier. The sources and probably the amplifier (HDMI OUT) will be connected to the inputs. 1 output will go to the TV and the other output will go to the TV/CD HDMI IN of the amplifier.
My question is: Will this work? Are there any other people doing this already? I have been doing some searching but haven't found anything describing my use case.
Maybe there are other solutions?
Any thoughts are welcome, thanks in advance.
