GLOSSARY

Standard cable for connecting a TV to different video sources, typically a
video recorder. The cable is specified for RGB signal transmission.
Audio Aux Link is the name of the 7-pin Datalink connection between the
audio and video master in the main room. When this was launched it
became possible to achieve a high degree of integration between audio
and video systems and therefore AV integration. In the latest generation of
products, the Audio Aux Link connection has been replaced by Master Link.
Setup using a connected audio and video system with two masters, which
makes it possible to move the sound from one system to another.
Audio/video system Integration of audio and video where there is only one
master which manages all operations.
Sales description and overall description of Bang & Olufsen's method of
distributing sound and images to other rooms in the home. BeoLink can be
achieved in various ways depending on the products used in the setup:
basically either using Datalink/Master Control Link (MCL) or using the
Master Link system.
The control unit or audiomaster in component-based audio systems, e.g
Beomaster 7000. For future products this designation will be replaced by

name structure for Bang & Olufsen products, in which all future audio
products will be called BeoSound.

and BeoVision Avant. Part of a new name structure for Bang & Olufsen

responses from the product are required.
Designation for the room(s) in the house where the central system is
located, and from where any distribution to other rooms takes place. The

One room setups: audio and video systems positioned in the same room
Two room setups: audio and video systems in two different rooms.
