Dlp600 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have a functioning HC800 in a simple av system and was thinking of upgrading my processor (Classe SSP-600) to a new Anthem AVM70. Would the Control4 HC800 need to be upgraded as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 not really. HC800 can run Control4 OS 3.3.0, but can't be upgraded past that (current OS is 3.3.1)...but you aren't required to upgrade any time soon and getting an AVM70 wouldn't necessitate that.

Dlp600 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 That is good news. Any reason I should consider a C4 upgrade? My whole system will need to be reprogrammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yes, for the ability to stay on the current OS, and take advantage of any upgraded functionality. Also if you use the Control4 on-screen interface, that won't work with the HC800 in OS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlp600 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 How much do the new controllers run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole system will need to be reprogrammed. Also, development at Snap seems to have accelerated dramatically. We're all having trouble keeping up with the new API's and features at this point, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more major new features in the near future. tmj4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlp600 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 My system would be Anthem AVM 70, Apple TV (IR trigger), Oppo BlueRay, Panasonic Plasma (IR trigger). My current processor and the Oppo are hard wired. Which controller would do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 And you'll need a weave program. Your whole system. There is a controller migration capability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopedogg88 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Not sure what he is saying but I think he meant to say that you don't need to reprogram? You can migrate from one controller to another. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlp600 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 I thought it might be easier start fresh. I would be removing a HDMI switch from the current system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
