ee999 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading from 2.9.1 to 2.10. I will be replacing my HC800 with an EA-5. I currently have 6 Infinity Edge TS and would prefer to only replace two of them with the WALL7s (as only two routinely used). Can the other Infinity Edge TS be left in the project/updated to 2.10? Will they run on 2.10? I don't use the intercom agent and don't plan to. If they can be upgraded, is there any functionality that would be lost (apart from the intercom agent)? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx They will be on 2.9.1 and will not update beyond this release but they will work fine in your project. Even intercom agent will work, I still have HC based system so not sure how they will behave with EA but I believe they will continue to function till C4 Discontinue them in a future release.

RAV Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 The Infinity Edge firmware tops out at 2.91. Once there they can function in a 2.10.x system, so you can upgrade as you wish. Infinity Edge are FLASH based, new screens and processors are Andriod. They are likely to be left behind before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitali Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 2.9.1, don't go higher. why do you need 2.10? if you still have rest of your equipment same, why do you want to upgrade OS? Just in case Infinity TS doesn't work well with DS2 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're paying extra for no additional benefits - or at least nothing big enough that I can think of to justify the jump. Better to wait for newer gear to come out.

ee999 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thx for the responses. I guess my concern is how long the HC-800 will hold up. I've heard some are failing? <- any experts like to weigh in on this? Anyone know how long until newer gear may arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 HC800 is a very solid piece of hardware, thought it will not pass end of this year, rumors are all over the place and will die sooner or later in favor of EA and newer controllers. With release 3.0 firing soon, all info will be revealed. Go for the EA5 then replace the TS’s at a later step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Leeds UK Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Some features will stop working on the HC800, once the 3.0 software is released at the moment the HC800 not can use the 4K Apple TV driver still a good controller but not able cope with the new software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitali Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 hc-800 - good and solid. New ones "work faster" but.... sometimes it doesn't matter, your tv will turn on not in 5 sec., but in 4.5. New controllers work well with new equipment, if you didn't install anything new. don't worry. Gary Leeds UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
