Power Dock Controller Adapter
Russound's new iBridge Power Dock allows the retrofit
addition of iPod to a multiroom audio system painless. Using
innovative Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology, the iBridge
Power Dock makes it possible to add an iPod as an audio
system source without running new wiring.
The Power Dock employs RNET Power Line Carrier
technology to send audio and RNET control signals between
a multiroom controller and the Power Dock over the home's
existing common power lines. PLC technology also allows
the Power Dock to be portable within a home. Simply unplug
the Power Dock and Dock Adapter, move it to any room, and
plug it back in.
Through PLC, the Power Dock and Dock Adapter
communicate with the iBridge PLC Controller Adapter, which
mounts at the multiroom controller location and converts
information from the electrical line to RNET signals and
analog audio.

iBridge Power Dock
The iBridge Power Dock features a standard 30-pin dock
connector and ships with five well adapters to support most
iPod models. It provides power to the iPod to keep it charged
while docked and connected to the system. A maximum of
four iBridge Power Docks per system, and each Power Dock
requires its own Dock Adapter and Controller Adapter.
Just like Russound's original iBridge Dock, the Power Dock
allows you to listen to all the music stored on an iPod through
in-wall and in-ceiling speakers of a multiroom audio system.
Combining an iPod and the intelligence of RNET results in a
merging of form and function. When used with Russound's
UNO-TS2 Smart Color Touchscreen, users can select music
from their library as if they had the iPod in their hands.
Navigation and selection of playlists, genres, artists, albums
and songs is as easy as a touch of a button. As music is
selected, information (metadata) appears on UNO keypads
and touchscreens.
