Tech Notes / FAQ / Re: Russound MCA-5 HDMI Source

Yes, you need a matrix switcher and a Myro:Bridge to be able to use the system to switch the video source with the audio source.   Just make sure you get a matrix switcher that has enough outputs as displays in the system.

For example, if you only ever will need 3 sources (STB, Bluray, AppleTV) and have 6 zones with displays, you'll need a 4x8 Matrix leaving 1 open source and 2 open outputs for future use.

Tech Notes / FAQ / Russound MCA-5 HDMI Source

« Last post by jayday on March 09, 2015, 11:36:04 am »

I have installed a Russound MCA-5 and ready to order a Myro Bridge.  I want to have a HDMI STB available as one of the 8 Russound sources. Do I need a HDMI switcher to accomplish this?

I can personally recommend matrix switchers by Key Digital and Wyrestorm.

General Discussion / Looking to buy HDMI Matrix switcher

« Last post by CKM on January 27, 2015, 12:47:36 pm »

Got my Russound setup with MCA-C5 and now want to add my TVs into the mix.
Any warnings or recommendations, especially as it pertains to myro:bridge?

Requirements/Desires (maybe most/all do this, but I like being specific, especially because I read a few horror stories):
Looking for stability on ALL existing connections when switching between sources and/or TVs with clean audio and video
Minimal lag between switching sources or initial HDMI handshakes
Doesn't make a lot of noise
Supports HDCP (hate to support this standard, but I hate potential incompatibility more)
Fully controllable from a myro:bridge perspective
Compatible with Redmere cable lengths
HDMI 1.4a or higher  (would love to hear anything about HDMI 2.0)

Hi Jim!

Been meaning to pick up an XStream to test integration with.   Perhaps Myro:Air can help for projects that require only AirPlay

Feature Request / Integration with the Russound XStream

This would be a great addition given that the XStream has a digital input along with AirPlay, Pandora, vTune, etc. I am using it with my MCA-C5, but its not directly controllable (I am using a separate keypad for the XStream) and the metadata is not visible, since I am just using the line out from the XStream into a line input on the MCA-C5.

Both are IP addressed and I'd imagine there is a fair amount of overlap given they both utilize RIO.

I think I'm going to try out Myro Air. Please advise me on the best android apps to stream to the Russound MCA-C5.

Via Android, you can stream natively as Myro:Air is a UPnP/DLNA enabled device.   If you want to AirPlay via Android, you can use AirAudio (it needs to be rooted) or AllCast if you don't want to root.
