Viperman Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I need to get a new receiver for this Matrix. I am wondering what receivers will work with this. I have a mix of b300 and b500 receivers now. But I am thinking if I need a new receiver should I just get a newer model that might support 4K for in the future but will work now with what I have? Thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4toys Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 300 and 500 series switcher are not 4K. I would stay with the same model series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperman Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I know they aren't 4K, but would it make sense to start buying newer components so that when I do upgrade my matrix all of my receivers would already be done. I wouldn't buy them for the sake of buying them, only if they broke buy a newer one. I would hate to buy 4 or 5 older ones and then upgrade the matrix and have to throw all of them away. For example I saw a B300 receiver on ebay for like $40-$50 and I saw a 4k transmitter and receiver for like $70. So for $20 more, seems like it might be worth it.

Matt Lowe Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 just be careful and research what you are buying. I personally would not use or sell a $70 dollar hdmi balun it will have issues i can promise that. If your matrix has hdbaset you can try upgrading the receivers but it might not be compatible with them all. If it has hdmi outputs then you can get hdmi balun kits that are 4k ready. but honestly they way tech changes you should buy the minimum for what you need and upgrade when you need it piece mealing will just cause so many issues.

Viperman Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 They were the Binary 560 series 4K and they were brand new, so they weren't an off brand or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
