I thought I would start this thread as a place holder since I've just come off the phone from The Media Factory having being told that my Octava 4x4 HDMI CAT6 Matrix Switch has come into stock and should be with me tomorrow. I've had to wait a while but both John and Joe from TMF have been very helpful so far. Thanks guys.
Before my electrician arrives to route all the cat-6 cable this weekend I am planning on testing the matrix, which should hopefully ensure that the kit and more importantly the cables I've bought are up to the job (I've heard stories they can be sensitive). Also if things don't work once the cable is installed I know that the installation has damaged the cable.
So anyway here's my current kit line-up...
- Ocatava 4x4 HDMI CAT6 Matrix Switch (HDMX44CAT-UK)
- 2x Octava HDMI CAT5 Receiever with IR Passthru (HDCATIR-RX-UK)
- Samsung 40" B650 1080P LCD TV (LE40B650)
- Sharp 22" 1080P LCD TV (LC22LE22E)
- Samsung Virgin Media V+ HD Box
- Acer Revo R3700, Windows 7, XBMC
and cable (Cables To Go - 20m Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Patch Cable - White)...
- 2x 20m Cables to Go 550Mhz Cat 6
- 2x 5m Cables to Go 550Mhz Cat 6
I'm planning to test the matrix with 2 sources and 2 displays to begin with just to keep things simple.
Will post again once its arrived!
