Can I use the HDMI passthrough without using the output?
Yes, you can use Audio Radar’s HDMI passthrough feature without utilizing its HDMI output. This allows for greater flexibility in setting up your gaming system while ensuring Audio Radar still processes in-game audio.
Setup Instructions
HDMI Connections (Bypassing Audio Radar’s HDMI Output)
- Connect one HDMI output from your gaming console or PC to the HDMI In port on the Audio Radar Command Center.
- Use another HDMI output from your device to connect directly to your monitor or TV.
Why Use This Setup?
- Bypasses Audio Radar’s passthrough limits (e.g., for 4K 240Hz setups or VRR compatibility).
- Ensures direct video signal to the monitor or TV while allowing Audio Radar to process game audio separately.
- Works with high-end gaming PCs that use multiple video outputs (HDMI + DisplayPort setups).

Ensure you are using
HDMI 2.1 certified cables for the best performance.
