Bill Abbott Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 is the Xbox 1x 1TB compatible with our C4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 In what sense? Is it controlled - I believe the XBox One driver should work - will it pass video? That has little to do with your system as such, but with whatever video switch you have, and possibly other parts and pieces - we can't really comment on those without knowing the details.

Bill Abbott Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 I would like to be able to play an Xbox game in one or more rooms that we have screens in, depending on how far the controllers can still connect. I haven't bought it yet as I want to make sure the C4 can do this. Thanks for your response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 C4 can absolutely do this, but you need to make sure you have a video/audio path from the xbox to each room. Like Cyknight said that's got more to do with your system than C4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Can C4 switch sources? Yes it can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFlury Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I have multiple Xbox 1s run through my HDMI matrix. A couple things to note with Xbox and video distribution. Xbox 1 controller range is about as bad as it gets. I have tested with Elite and standard controller. 15' through 1 wood stud wall was about the best I could get. My matrix does have some EDID control but it can still be rough to get the Xbox to sync, really only happens with my One X and I believe it has to do with the Fiber HDMI I have in it. I built my own Xbox driver because I was not happy with the one at the time ~2016. I fixed it so power off would work correctly (It has been changed many times) I also made it so I could set the RGBY buttons worked A,B,X,Y. For future reference Microsoft has kept the same IR codes for the Xbox since the original one was released and had a separate multi media remote.

crazybuppie Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Controller range on the Xboxes is terrible. I had mine on my matrix in my basement and had even though it was just through 1 floor, it almost never worked. You had to be on the left half of the couch for it to work. I do not recommend. I ended up running HDMI up to a cabinet in the room just for the xbox. Still runs thru the matrix but the device is in the room and all the issues went away.

Jeff W Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I believe when the Xbox 360 came out, the controllers worked for approx 30 ft, I believe bluetooth class 2 was used (I may be wrong on the class, it's been a while since I looked this up). The xbox 360 controllers would work throughout my house up and down through floors with no problems. The controllers could go a long ways and still maintain a connection to the console. When the Xbox one came out, I believe MS switched to a lower class of bluetooth class. I believe you can get approx 10 ft out of it now. It is a noticeable difference. Not sure about the bluetooth in Xbox Series X/S. Haven't upgraded to that platform just yet. Depending on how far the other TVs are from the console, you may not get the best user experience. We always install the consoles in the main gaming area to avoid any bluethooth range issues. We usually connect the console to a home theater amplifier / matrix via HDMI baluns. Never had anyone complain about the controllers this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I’ve always thought about possibly running USB to rooms that were not in range. You’d have to plug in the controller for it to work, but could get your further distance possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
