MASTER LINK
Master Control Link is the name of the former connection between main
room and link room.
Bang & Olufsen's new systems interface. Master Link is the connection
between the products in the main room and those in the link room but it
is also the connection between the audio system and the video system.
BeoSound and BeoVision with Master Link socket. One of these products
is always required in a Master Link setup.
All products with a Master Link socket.
A remote control terminal that operates the products by transmitting a
command to them without requiring an answer (e.g. BL 1000 and Beo4).
BL 5000 and BL 7000 are two-way remote control terminals which require
an answer from the product being operated.
Option programming is executed via a Bang & Olufsen terminal and with
the products concerned in stand-by.
Upon completed option programming, the products "know" what kind of
environment they are placed in, and they can then be operated and
function optimally.
The Power Link connection contains all necessary signals and data
required for driving active speakers. Two different types of cable are
available: one with wire for display data and one without wire for display
data. Note that the latter cannot be used for active speakers with display.
A PC-based tool in which it is possible to compose the setup you want and
which provides answers to any questions concerning compatibility, setups,
options, terminals, special conditions, and much more.
IR receiver built into video, audio and link products. The products can
thus be operated by means of a one-way remote control terminal, e.g.
Beolink 1000 and Beo4.
