BM-Link 1.5
Hi Matt!
The new software works perfect! No need any changes.
If you press n.music/n.radio, you get n.music, n.radio through iTunes. If you select fullscreen in coverflow of itunes and the video of the mac is connected to a BV master, pressing V.Tape/V.Mem you can watch the coverflow of itunes, and pressing A-N.music/A-M.radio (new Beo4) you can control it.
If you want control Frontrow in a BV (master o link), you need 2-3 IR-eye connected directly to the beoport. It's the only way. The beovisions doesn't accept the PC command, only the beoport.
I am going to buy 2 IR-Eye. This is the solution.
To scroll through the interface and get/select sound or select IPhoto or Quiktime Movies you have to select A-N.Music
I thought I could have sound when I select v.tape. I have connected a video and stereo rca wires to BV3-32.
Hi Luis,
I agree, this solution will work, albeit that if Odlund would add my suggested feature it saves a lot of infrared eyes and cables.
Question,
How did you succeed in distributing the video signal to the other tv's? The modulator in the BeoVision is not able to distrubute a component/DVI signal of the Mac. I saw all kind of suggestions, but maybe there is an easy way?
thanks
Matt
Hi Luis
Luis,
might be I'm thinking in the wrong direction: I have a Mac Mini connected via DVI with my BV. If I want to display Itunes, I use the screen in the PC mode. Pressing any of the buttons you have mentioned would switch the BV to the Tv (pal) mode and no longer display the computer signal???

I would like to get an update on this beoport matter. I have never been able to figure out how this setup is done. In my opinion the B&O usermanuals are dreadfull, regardless of product.
Well, what i need to know is this:
I have a BV 7 in my livingroom, connectet through ML to my BS3000 in my living room. In my bedroom i have an Imac, not connected to anything YET. SO, if I buy beoport and set this up in my bedroom what will i need to get it working? Sofar i have figured this out(at least i think i have)
1: I set up the beoport box in my bedroom, connnected to my Imac through USB and an soundcable.
2: I have no B&O equipment installed in my bedroom so do not need speakers there to be connected directly to beoport. How do I get the sound from beoport to ML system in my livingroom, through ML??
3: Further, when everything is connected propperly, can i then control beoport througt the IR eye in my BV 7?
Found an old PC2 manual but cant seem to figure it out??
Can anyone please help me understand?
So, if you want display mac on BV7 press PC. For a link beovision press v.tape. I suppose it will work fine. But I don't know. I don't own a BV7.
Hi Ehlerz
1) Exactly.
2) Yes, You need a long ML cable.
3) Yes, you can control beoport througt the IR of BV7 (video option 2) but if you add the IR eye you can control the beoport in your bedroom. Only the IR-eye connected to beoport accept the pc command. So, you will control the Frontrow on your iMac.
