Do u mean off a controller or what? I mean do u want to learn an IR remote via controller? If Yes, then u need composer Pro for this task!

Aha!

Of course, Control4...... 

Thanks anyway 

Quick idiots guide to doing this anyone?

I have tried searching the forum 

Hi Folks!

I have an Nuvo Simplese in league with an HC-250 (last of the big spenders me! )

I'm using the Simplese - FREE driver, and notice that the loudness options for the outputs, are greyed out everywhere.

By contrast, the Grand Concerto -  FREE driver allows loudness to be enabled

1. Did the Simplese ever have a loudness facility?
2. Are there any ways of tricking the HC-250 into thinking it's talking to a Grand Concerto & not a Simplese?
3. Any other ways of faking loudness? e.g. editing Simplese driver (he said like he's know how to ...)

Gracias!

Sorry to hijack a thread but wondering if you can change volume increments on the EA controllers Without the workaround? Sr260s are sloooow to ramp up the volume. Looks like you are using the HC250 controller so was curious if that was added to the EA’s?

Thanks!

I only have an HC-250 I'm afraid so of no use to you but mstafford388 may be back soon.............

You can get around this with some programming.  When volume up is pressed in room x pulse volume up a few more times.  There isn't a dial or value entering though.  OS3 has volume sliders which are pretty great but your HC-250 will not update to OS3.  

That worked out nicely, thank you very much!

Thanks, I'll look into that 

Howdy folks! 

I'm using Android app version 2.10 with an HC-250.

Volume control are in 1% increments. I get that for accuracy/control (although - does anyone care if the volume is 50%, 48% or 53%? )

Takes forever to change though. Is there a way to change the increments to say 10%? 5%?

A virtual dial?

Entering a value directly e.g. 40?

Thanks in advance

You can switch off HDMI audio. But not sure what that will achieve for you.

That doesn't sound hopeful 

Read few posts o hear about HDMI audio being responsible for latency; clearly not relevant in this case.

Lest it's ever relevant for me; how is it switched on on an HC-250

no way to bypass or speed up..you can delay...

Bummer 

And switching off HDMI audio of no help in this situation? (is that even possible with the HC-250? )

When you run audio through a controller it has to digitize the input to the output so that creates a lag

Clear & concise! 

And I wouldn't be surprised if you then say; reconverts to analogue to send to audio out......

The big question; any there any ways of telling the controller to either bypass or speed up digitisation?

you won't not have a delay in that scanerio...

Ok

In simply terms:

1. Why?

2. Why so massive?

3. Are there any straightforward ways to rectify/compensate for it?

Why don’t you post your precise scenario? Someone here could/might be able to help.  Collectively, we’ve seen just about everything.  If it’s intermittent, could be a pause/play can sometimes correct it. There are a bunch of simple possibilities, so my bet is it can be corrected if we know what your doing equipwise.

Example:

ATV>AVR>TxBalun>Cat6a>RxBalun>Samsung Qled (be precise about each device in the flow).

Couldn't be simpler! (or so I thought )

Amplifier pre-amp out (RCA) --> Audio in HC-250 audio out --> Power sub (RCA)

Delay/latency between amp (speakers) & sub is > 3 seconds.  

I've timed it (pause play & listen  to sub still going).

Zero delay with straightforward AV lead

Why am I doing this? Want to be able to control sub volume from anywhere in the house...........

Not using HC-250 HDMI out (hoped it might help............)

Aha! thanks

Sadly I thought you meant that was a Control4 setting

The TV audio delay was set. I never knew it existed. Very strange. Thank you.

Where is this setting?

Ok, actually followed my toes into the water and now up & running.

My starting point is to use this as a way of controlling all my AV equipment remotely. Single room only at the moment. 

OS far, so good

Trying to use the audio out from the HC-250 to supply a powered sub; if I'm upstairs and it's too much: turn it down, etc. etc. 

Delay, really nasty delay

3 - 4 seconds  

Literally (I've measured it) 

What is that all about?

set the HC800 to be the audio volume endpoint so the the HC800 handles all the volume control.

Hmm  , any chance of a screenshot of what that setting looks like?

Correct but there are lots of great dealers on this site that can help you remotely. There is even a section of this site to help with that (see below).   If you only have an HC250 that should be fairly easy. 

https://www.c4forums.com/forum/26-looking-for-an-integrator/

I'll go look there  then 

Although - how do I work out who to trust with remote access to my router/home network?

So, no dealer, no use

Hi folks!

Decided to put my toes in Control4 environment by getting a used HC-250

Got nothing else. Apart from Android app

Is it going to be possible to get this up and running without some other outlay (licence/hardware)? 

Had understood as I have a BL-1, licence stays with controller......
