Hello All

I currently have a Beovision 7-55 in my main room providing SD dist to a BV3 and BV6-26

With the move to my Beosound Moment and the NL/ML convertor I will more than likely over some time move to more NL than ML devices as i love the concept and possibilities.

Few questions, if i change the TV;s in link rooms to NL devices they dont accept Link Video which is fine as i prob should move away from this anyway at some point.

My question is what is the best way for this, my main room has Bluray, Apple TV and SKY HD, woudl the best solution be a Matrix on the BV7 or perhaps some form of hdmi splitter with Baluns.

If I went for the splitter i suppose i would need 4way splitters that also carry IR or at least the Balun should carry IR.

the way i figure i will need baluns anyway no matter which method i went for.

prices for HD matrices are really dropping now

also with recent developments no need to stick with altona HD switchers etc

Cyp make a single source HDBT sending kit over cat 5 to up to 4 displays (I believe) but for just a few hundred more you can have a 4x4 matrix with 4 HD values (also with 2additional mirrored hdmi out)

Glad to hear that the prices of the HD matrices are dropping. The Atlona ones were seriously overpriced (not even mentioning the charging of the activation code for each source. Unacceptable!)

Be careful to make sure you have puc control through the matrix. That's what Atlona is the b&o recommendation.

our solution works with any puc code as the matrix in question can learn any code

it seems someone at Struer got tAken out for a nice expensive lunch from someone at Atlona

why couldn't Struer write puc codes for other brands?

Ridiculous

I'm not disagreeing.

The Atlona is ridiculous.

What solution do you speak of.

Time for some research!
