Curiously enough, when he was working with Bullet Train directly on this, they didn't suggest that he use one. When I mentioned that a voltage inserter often solves the problem, he looked for one made by them, he couldn't find a way to buy one or even if they had one. He was (understandably) a bit reluctant to use a 3rd party one. And strangely enough, his Tributaries cable came with their own voltage inserter, which he used, but still didn't get a reliable connection. I think I read just recently that one had to use the Tributaries power supply for that inserter, rather than just a USB port on another device. That seems a bit odd, but who knows. I'm not sure if he did that or not. What voltage inserter did you use with the Bullet Train cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing which was essential to make it reliable in my case was to update the projector. There was an update last Aug or around there that increased compatibility with JVC & many fiber HDMI cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that it did the job for you. And the guy with the issues has updated his JVC to the current firmware, for exactly this reason. What a world, what a world...

Zvone Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We found and extensively tested an HDBaseT extender that is a very effective alternative to the Control4 LU1E. In fact, it works even better. For those who are interested in this product, feel free to contact me for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in the details here - Brand, Model, specs, etc. What is the maximum bandwidth supported? Does this system rely on compression to achieve 18gbps or 48gbps bandwidth? And if compression is used, is this 'lossless' or 'lossy'? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway for the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
