Driver for Shinybow 5688ak 8 x 8 hdmi matrix

[stenkb]

Hi I am considering a Shinybow 8 x 8 hdmi matrix - but my installer is unsure if there is a C4 driver for it. Anyone know if there is a suitable driver? Or have used/is using this product?

I have found a link here http://www.shinybowusa.com/control4.html that shows available drivers.

Thanks! I am trying to reduce costs from a suggested $10000 8 x 8 matrix

FYI, reducing costs may not have the affects that you wish to have. Good luck.

lippasvisual:  exactly right.  The benefits of using Control4 matrix are numerous.  The biggest of those is the matrix ability to handle a single HDCP handshake, regardless of how many video endpoints are using the matrix.  Some cable providers are limiting the amount of HDCP handshakes their boxes with allow, which can cause problems.  Also, the new controllers have the ability to allow 5.1 in one zone not be affected from someone watching same source in stereo (previously, if a stereo zone would watch the same source, it would downgrade audio in a 5.1 zone).  There are also some other settings that have major benefits over cheaper products.
