wappinghigh Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm talking control of gear/no of serial connections/IR etc etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The 800 cannot accept IR input like a 300 can. Non-sense IMO but I'm sure there was some discussion in a C4 meeting to eliminate something...Sorry, I know you said no IR but I can't think of anything else...

CFUG Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 And, be aware, a 250 needs 3.5mm IN/OUTs for audio instead of RCA like a 200... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wappinghigh Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 ^Thanks. What about video sense? Don't think I "IR sense" on the 300 anyway... why would you??I'm thinking doing a straight 300<>800 swap. Keeping the control as similar as possible to keep the re-programming costs down. Moving director etc onto the 800. Leaving the 1000 switched off (for a rainy day). And moving the 300 into another room..Thoughts? I know you've done something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Video sense? You can program off of change in Video Selection... WTF is Video Sense? IR Input is what us Sling folks need and C4 saw fit to nuke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Let me rephrase, I know what Video Sense is but why the hell would I connect my BD player to a 300 when I need it on my HDMI switcher?? Pointless...You know what, it's late and I'm drunk and tired- forget this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Video sense is useful to get feedback for products that have IR control only. This gives you the on/off state of the device which an be used for programming. For example when you physically press the off button on a bluray player (say when you've taken the disc out) turn you TV and receiver off. Note that this requires a player which can do multiple video outputs at the same time. Some do and some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterwilson Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Proper IR function (my experience, before the C4 crew decides to flame away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbat Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah IR has been rock solid on my HC800. I haven't had any of the negative experiences that a couple of users here have mentioned.I know its off topic but points to the HC800 for having digital audio out. It sounds better.

RyanE Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He may be pointing to the fact that the HC800 doesn't have a general IR receiver. i.e. it can be used to learn IR, and can playback IR, but it can't be controlled vi a 3rd-party IR remote, as the HC300/HC200 could.It had to be a learning remote, and had to use Control4's IR codeset, but you could do that with a 300, can't with an 800.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few if any of mine do and those that do pump-out video on one set of outputs at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
