I had a Beovision 7 40 with a Beomaster 70000 connected to with a NL/ML Converter and could select sources and control volume on the Beovision 7 40.

Many thanks indeed Paul - that's useful to know.

Hi Guy,

I have a BeoSystem 3 and and (a.o.) a BLC (set as AudioMaster) in a Masterlink network. I can control the BS3 fully with the app when it plays video sources. When it plays audio (from my Core that is in the NetworkLink network) control via the app does not work fully. For instance, I cannot manage the volume of the BS3.

I would believe that you would be most succesful when buying two BLCs: one set as AudioMaster with your TV, and one set as VideoMaster with your audio product. And link those via NetworkLink.

Maybe some more seasoned users of the BLC can confirm or add.

Thanks Johan!  I haven't purchased a converter yet, hence wanted to do a little research before getting hold of one.  To be honest I don't even have a masterlink setup currently because I am temporarily in a rental house, but wanted to start building up some ideas for a future system.  It all sounds promising so I think I'll start with one converter and take it from there.  It's only a matter of time before I get hold of an NL product, so it'll be worth having in the longer term.

A MUCH better solution is to get a Beolink Gateway and use the Beolink 2 app on your phone. This is designed for Masterlink. Once you configure the BLGW properly with rooms and sources, it all magically appears in the Beolink 2 app. Much better interface than the network link B&O app. I have both apps, NLML BLC and BLGW on my system.

Thanks Gregg.  Sounds promising - something for me to research further before deciding what to go for, and probably better than NL/ML converter if I also want a degree of home automation.  Once I have investigated I may well be back with further questions!

I recently got hold of a NL/ML Converter and have been having a play.

Currently it's connected as an Audiomaster between my BV10-32 and Essence Mk2 (There are no other ML or NL devices attached, and no speakers or IR sensors connected to Essence).  It seems to work well and I have Beo4 control of the Essence (through the TV) and limited B&O app control of the TV - quite impressed that I can also control the TV volume using my phone.

I have one question that isn't covered in the NL/ML Installation Guide (version 1.4).  Half way down the settings page there are 'App Settings'.  I have set the 'Icon Shown in Apps' to Beovision 10 as you can see below: (the other icon options are Beovisions 9, 8, 7 and 3)

But I am unclear as to where to expect to see that BeoVision 10 icon.  All I get when using the B&O app to control the TV (via Beolink Converter) is a picture of the Beolink Converter, as you can see below:

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in the B&O app?
