Pulse Eight Matrix

My dealer has recommended I have a look at using Matrixes (Matri?!?) from these guys instead of Atlona...

Anyone had any experiences with them?
Be sure it's recognized and controllable from B&O.

Do you use a control system? Or just the B&O puc for your connected devices?

Thanks tor the reply. I haven't got it yet. Just started going through what I want so he can start getting a quote together! He said he's used these matrix systems a few times and all the control works fine.
I'm using Atlona and have no complaints.

Any reason you don't want to use Atlona?
I have a pulse 8. Works perfectly. I had one issue with the power connection they swapped it out within 72h. They monitor remotely and my b&o dealer lets me know if there's an issue. They're a small team based in Dorset so service is amazing. So much cheaper than Altona as well.
Yeah that's basically what my dealer said - they can build bespoke stuff (6 in 2 out for example) and they're cheaper and just as good as Atlona. Good to hear good experiences about them!

Does your B&O panel actually change sources, etc?

How do you control the matrix?

Seems to be a very interesting product - HDMI CEC , 3D , 4K, contextuel ir, HD baseT, web interface...

can be puc controle as stated by StÜrrock here on Beoworld about 6 months ago.

I'd like to know about the neo  @ahjrennie - thanks.

The Pulse 8 Has sources as if you had something directly plugged into the TV. It switches sources from the beoremote 1 and even BLGW. The source is listed as Matrix 1,2,3,4, e.t.c rather than Virgin TV or Apple TV.

 

 

So it works just like an Atlona matrix then?
