sonic30101 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 You will need a managed switch and enough cat cables to haul the video to and from the rooms since it sounds like you have 2 head ends http://justaddpower.com/switches.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wappinghigh Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Nice! I run cisco switches..And they are available here, so I would probably go Cisco..key would be the programming of that switch, so it wouldn't screw up my network...

There is software called JAD config you can download from their site (no dealer required ), connect your computer to the switch via serial and it will configure the switch and the input/output devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pounce Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 You have: Room 1: Apple TV Bluray Kodi Player Room 2: Apple TV Blueray Cable box Your sources for JAP are cable box and Kodi player? Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct? Actually I’ve changed the config a bit due to cat5 availability. It’s going to be Room 1 Apple TVBlu-ray Kodi boxCable box 2x JAP transmitters HDMI signal to TV via loop thru Room 2 Apple TVBlu-ray HDMI to TV via Jap receiver Room 3 HDMI to TV via Jap receiver. Make sense? I get an extra room that way... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pounce Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Since I know you don't care about keeping sources in sync across zones... given these sources it would be less expensive for you in your specified setup to deploy two more cable boxes and two more Kodi appliances. I know you are anti-establishment and anti lock in etc-anti... If you have changed your mind and you really want to distribute 4k consider this option: Kodi at the TV's commodity 4k encoders at your sources Commodity 4k encoders can expose their content using endpoints you can consume from Kodi. About $400 usd for a 4k encoder. No licenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to configure a static route in your router to allow control4 to control the switch and the Jap endpoints if you use the IP driver which I recommend, if you use the serial driver you won't need it. I believe they have an article on their website that shows how to set up the static route and I've done it on a few different types of routers and even Best Buy consumer-grade Netgear and it worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wappinghigh Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 What happens if Control4 goes down? Can you switch things from a JAP app or The JapConfig program?Also the transmitters with HDMI loopthru. They still have HDCP2.2 - exact same signal out as was going in? As if the JAP transmitter wasn’t even there are at all?W. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pounce Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 No HDCP if you use commodity encoders and it all still works without C4. Further, it would work anywhere on your network and mobile. Control without C4 on JAP https://justaddpower.happyfox.com/kb/article/224-switchplease-instructions/ Google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
