Beam Gen 2 Hisense A7 compatibility

Hi guys I'm looking on a Beam Gen 2 for a recently purchased cheap 2020 model Hisense A7100

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it'll be compatible, it only has ARC not eARC

I've read some TVs allow pass through to play at least some form of Atmos without eARC

But I'm not sure this TV will be up to it

If anyone knows that would be great

Thanks

I can’t speak to the passthrough capabilities of that specific TV, but the HDMI-ARC connection is capable of sending dolby digital + with Atmos, which is lossy. All streaming sources will send audio this way. You would need eARC if your source is TrueHD, also atmos, which is lossless. This is going to be your blueray discs.

A lot of people on here will get an HD Fury Arcana, or similar device that basically allows you to bypass sending audio through the TV at full eARC.
