We use the IW3/FS3 all the time. The IR codes are pretty
rock solid Discrete ON/OFF and all the basic commands
that you could need. I've never seen a need for 232.
IF they have made it possible for the 4 series to do two
way communication via the 232, then I might put that in
for future XP8/wifi/zigbee goodies.
I agree with this 100%. We almost always use the IW3 with the exception of when we are using a control system that can take in metadata and display it on its own. IIRC the retail upgrade price from an IW3 to IW4 is $200, so if you plan on an XP-8 upgrade in the future I would use the IW4.
If only the iport would have a video out like the DLO units to put an OSD onto a K4 or if DLO would come out with an inwall version it would be so much easier.
