Projector with Sonos Arc

[Psychopasta]

Hi peeps,

I’m thinking of switching to a projector system but I’m not sure how to get an eARC signal to feed my Sonos Arc soundbar. The signal source is an Apple TV 4K. Is there a thingumijig to create the eArc signal for the Sonos from the HDMI output of the Apple TV?

Thanks,

- Mark

You don't need eARC capabilities as your projector has no speakers, or so I understand.
no doubt someone who has more knowledge of this will be along soon.

Which projector is it? There are a few projectors available that support eARC.

Out of interest why would you want an audio return hdmi connection on a projector?
Only asking 'cos I am dumb....

The OP wants to connect Apple TV as well and Sonos Arc has only 1 HDMI port.

I see, missed that.

I came across this: https://hdfury.com/product/4k-arcana-18gbps/

That seems to do what I want, give me two separate HDMI connections for projector and sound bar. Anyone used it, any unexpected issues?

Yes, you can use this. Quite pricey though. Does it have to be Sonos Arc? There are Atmos soundbars with multiple HDMI ports.
