Thanks a ton man, I'll have to try that when I get back home!
I am pleased to say with - cautious optimism - that I think I'll be able to make a software grabber for android. All the pieces seem to be there and I'm doing my best to put them together.. Maybe I'll be able to recoup the shipping costs of all this damn hardware if I release a donation version :p
No problem.
That sounds awesome. Let me know how that goes, I'd be happy to donate.
Hey do you have any advice to add getting this damn splitter and scalar to work? I just got the splitter outlined as being required for this scalar, and this shit just does not work. I have never seen the thing actually scale a signal, and have been thru a ton of different hardware now. I'm starting to think it is just defective. This shit is ridiculous.
On mine, the splitter edid is set to TV. Then power up the splitter and and scaler with the output hdmi on the scaler disconnected. With the shield turned on the blue link light on the scaler turns on and then the 4K input lights up and the 1080p output lights up. Having the 1080p to rca converter connected to the 4K scaler and powered up before the 4K scaler stops it from working properly I found.
Hey diddy, did you have any trouble with the scalar turning on and off? My initial tests are not going very well unfortunately - the scalar lights up the '4k' in both the input and output and then turns itself on and off (at least what it seems like), causing the TV to go dark while it is cycling. I'm yet to see it actually scale a 4k signal to 1080p...
I assume you are using an HDMI -> RCA adapter, mind linking to the one you are using?
The one I have outlines support for 2160p, but it only supports it at 30hz... So maybe I need to grab one that only supports 1080p to make the scalar work as expected?
If not then I'm thinking I might need to try yet another splitter. ugh.
No I didn't have that problem.

Great to know, I'm expecting the last piece for my setup (a splitter that supports edid management + cec) to arrive tomorrow. Is cec working for you with that setup?
Yes cec is working. The splitter in that set supports edid.
That looks awesome, now I have to try it out. Have some spare lights. Where did you get the globe type fitting from?
I just got this set: https://www.clearvisionsystems.co.uk/electronic-con…ombination-pack
So far testing with the 2017 shield TV it works.
