8x8 HDMI 2.0 HDR 4K 60HZ Matrix Switch YUV 444 HDCP2.2 HDTV Routing Selector SPDIF Audio Crestron Control4 Savant Home Automation

Works well so far but expected a bit more for the price. The lack of any network authentication is a bit worrying - no password protection and intermittent control let it down a bit. Would expect a compromise like that for a cheaper device.

So, a little context... I had a new home built with CAT6 and speaker wiring everywhere all coming back to a single location where I have centralized my wiring and equipment into a 44U AV rack. I placed dual CAT6 jacks everywhere that I wanted to place a TV... 8 locations to be exact. This matrix was an awesome device for my implementation.... the value is great for what you get (which includes everything you possibly need). So far, I get excellent video quality (4k with 60hz) with my DirecTV boxes, Roku Ultra, etc... I was able to add the matrix as a device to my Logitech Harmony hubs and use dedicated Logitech harmony hubs in every location.... the switching of activities and device control with this matrix and the Logitech remotes works great... the flexibility of the dedicated audio outputs to my audio receivers for my media room (7.1) and living room (5.1) is also a great plus and they work real well... I only have one real con to this switch.... 1) It does not support HDR over 4k.... I understand there have been bandwidth challenges with HDR over HDBASET.... however, there are new HDBASET extenders that now support HDR... and there are also a couple of matrixes out that also support HDR over HDBASET...

For the price I expected a better crafted piece of equipment. The remote is kind of flaky and cheaply made and the fan noise is a little loud. This unit is very similar to the Brightlink 8x8/8x16 HDBaseT/HDMI Matrix Switcher, which I recently returned to another seller due to issues with no picture when the TV was turned on until I changed inputs. Gladly, this unit does not exhibit this problem, though it did become non-responsive after going to sleep and would only wake up on a power cycle. A factory reset resolved this issue. I must say that No Hassle AV International has been extremely prompt to respond to any inquiries. The manual is poorly written and assumes a lot of the user. Someone who is not technically minded and unfamiliar with HDMI protocols may feel overwhelmed. Now the good stuff, the picture is quite good. I would say noticeably better than the old Octava HDMX48CAT 4x8 HDMI CAT6 Matrix Switch which it replaced and I liked very much until outputs began to fail. Having the mirrored HDMI outputs is great and using a single CAT6 cable is better than using two as the Octava did. I can use the extra cable for LAN connections to the smart TVs. I find LAN beats WAN for streaming.

We recently purchased a 4K projector for our home theater and had a 40 ft hdmi cable in my ceiling was too long of a hdmi cable to deliver the 4K quality to our new 4K projector. After some research I decided to purchase this equipment and I’m glad I did. This equipment was so easy to set up. The biggest trick was to replace the 40 ft hdmi cable that was already in the ceiling with the new cat6 Ethernet cable we purchased. I taped the first 2 ft of the Ethernet cable to the last 2 ft of the existing hdmi cable and was able to pull the cable through the ceiling and didn’t have any issues and was careful not to force it.When first connecting this equipment the base of the transmitting device has a tiny switch for “local, auto, or remote” and it was set to “local”. This gave me issues and the instructions don’t really explain much for novice installer. My projector kept going to a black screen when this was set to “local.” Once I moved that tiny switch to “auto” it resolved the issue and the projector image is looking crisp and sweet.The Ethernet cable ports do blink green and yello lights and I have no idea what the light colors indicate and the instructions don’t tell me. When I first had the screen image issues I was trying to figure out if the blinking lights were trying to indicate some troubleshooting codes? Luckily the move of the tiny switch from Local to the Auto setting solved everything. Overall set up of this equipment and the troubleshooting took me about 45 minutes and that included pulling the new Ethernet cable through the ceiling.

Ordered this 8x8 switch, and super happy I did. Support was super responsive - Thanks ALEX!!!, and I was trying to get my One X to work with HDR10 on my Sony 2017 900 series TV. The trick was to just copy the EDID from the source, I think it may be mis-named, where it says copy from TV1-8, regardless my Xbox input was 1, and TV output was one.. When I copied from 1, I got all green on my xbox status! I inquired with another vendor who has a similar product, and never heard back. So just from the customer service, this should probably get 5*, then you add the product that works pretty flawlessly. I can't really notice any lag (not an expert), but overall works well. Oh, you need to get CR2025 watch battery for the remote, as it does not ship with one.

Finally got to try this out. I used a 25’ cat 7 cable between the two Extenders and HDMI 2.0B compliant cables for connections between my Apple 4K TV, my LG OLED, and the Extender units. These units worked perfectly, allowed Dolby Vision and 4.4.2 chroma. Using the original 25’ HDMI 2 compliant cable, and direct connections to the Apple TV and LG OLED I was only able to achieve 4K HDR and chroma 4.2.0. Furthermore there is frequently “snow” on the screen, sometimes it’s a blizzard. With these Extender units there was no sign of snow at all and I could get Dolby Vision signals to work.
