Can anyone who has used these boxes confirm whether or not a HDMI conditioning splitter is needed when using a HDMI Extender.
Thanks.

Yes, at least in NW Arkansas. There is not a cisco box here that will work with a HDBaseT extender unless you put a 1X2 splitter in that does clock stretching.
Major headache, but we have starting to carry them with us and its an easy sell to the customer.

The Cisco 4742HDC needs one.

I ran into this earlier this week. I could kick myself for not remembering this. You can use an Atlona HDSync, but I think clock stretcher devices, (typically 1x2 hdmi splitters, right?) are cheaper.
Can fellow CIs chime in on brands and models of clock stretching devices you've used successfully on Cisco/SA boxes please?

Chasing Ernie's post count, one useless post at a time. |

Binary B-220-HDSPLTR-1x2 works fine.

Any Cisco boxes that I've dealt with have required the good old 1x2 splitters for clock stretching.
FYI, if you know the job requires a cable box, start putting that additional costs for these 1x2's may be needed in your assumptions/statements. That way when the stuff gets delivered to site, you won't have a client biatch at you for sending them a change order for them.
Also, depending on provider (we have Comcast), I'll tell the tech to turn around and put that Cisco crap back on the truck. I've had nothing but issues with those boxes. They're extremely slow and buggy.

OK thanks. Are there any kind of discrete power on's for these. Also do they have working IR 3.5mm inputs?
