RNET to Kaleidescape

We’re in process of adding support for Kaleidescape. That means you can control and get metadata to/from your Russound Whole House Audio system. Add another Myro:Bridge with HDMI switcher firmware and now you can distribute the Kaleidescape content as well.

Myro:Bridge works with Sphere RF Remote (RFR-E5)

We have confirmed that control and metadata can be sent to/from the Russound Sphere RFR-E5 RF Remote. Adding to the seamless control and integration of Myro:Bridge supported devices.

Adding Support For HDMI Matrix Switcher for Russound RNET Controllers

With component video becoming less available on video devices it’s time for a way to switch video via a Russound RNET based controller.  Solution — Myro:Bridge and a Wyrestorm MTA4T220 4×2 HDMI Matrix Switcher.  The firmware is being tested right now and should be available in the coming weeks.

This combination will allow you to setup which Russound zones you want to be mapped to which HDMI port.  Currently, you will be limited to selection/programming of 4 sources to 2 different zones as the most economical option is a 4×2, however, Wyrestorm offers 4×4, 4×8 and 8×8 models as well.

Faceplates for Case. Check.

While we’re waiting for the boards to arrive from manufacturing, we are focusing on the cases. The faceplates were created using a laser cutter. It did take quite a few tries to get it perfect. The end result? Some very nice looking faceplates and cases. It’s a shame they will never be seen as they are designed to be tucked away in the rack.
