cnicholson Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Seems like good solution for secondary rooms. I might get a few of these Bundles. Looks like audio out is only via HDMI? Since my TVs all have audio backhaul to matrix, I'm assuming it could increase number of different simultaneous streams in a pinch by routing the audio path through the TV and back to matrix (and then to the in-ceiling speakers)? I've never run out of outputs on my Core5, but could provide some edge-case headroom. Main use case would be OSD for guest rooms without T4 and where guests may find OSD easier than installing C4 app on phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodingart Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Out of curiosity, how would this compare to an EA1. I’m guessing there’s no Halo Touch bundle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Control4 just released more Core lite bundles. They now have bundles with SR-260 and NEEO remotes. Good use for single room with OSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 Yes, but it's less of a processor, so keep that in mind.

cnicholson Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I wonder what the expected use cases are. Like standalone (pricey) universal remote? If you have a Neeo or Halo, how much would people use OSD? Maybe it's just generally good business to give people a (relative) easy onramp to the ecosystem? And then be able to tell people a nice story about being able to "upgrade" without tossing anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 1 minute ago, cnicholson said: how much would people use OSD That HDMI still outputs audio. And yes it's a standalone room/system set - and I would assume that part of it's underlying intend is to be a potential step in to larger systems. This would be no different than offering iPhone SE editions, Switch LITE editions and Sonos PLAY:1 or ROAM. A perfectly fine stand alone product that does exactly what it claims to do. And is likely to get you exposed, interested and maybe even drawn into a larger eco system. cnicholson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregCAMS Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Last year they did a video release/announcement either the day before or first day of CEDIA Expo with all their new updates, announcements, etc. Have seen nothing of the sort this go-around as far as teasing announcements in video format.

ERDrPC Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 This seems interesting - wonder if it's one-way or two-way audio The Control4 OS 3.4 release also upgrades the surveillance camera experience with in-app audio and at-a-glance Live View indicator enhancements, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
