Hi,

I have a idea which I woul;d like to run past the borgesque collective mind that is beoworld.

One of my friends has a avant, in a link system with Beoport. and would like to play music, N radio (both already sorted with beoport), and pictures through his avant, Now his local B&o dealer has scared him off beoport with three visits and the ultimate solution being buy a Beovision 7 as it will possibly work that way, but he does not want a beovision 7, Anyway we came up with this potential setup idea which thoughts and observations would be appreciated on.

1. Beoport and PC in a cupboard beside the room his avant is in, full control of beoport is available through avant.

2. Run a Yellow phono video cable from his PC to the camcorder inpuit on the avant, or a VGA cable with an adaptor, either way to get picture.

3. On avant he could then call up camcorder and get the PC image on his screen, (sounding Okay so far?)

4. If he then presses AV PC (or whatever the commande on the Beo4 is fopr the beoport) he should be able to get his beoport to play sound over the image from the PC, plus the image from the PC should show him what tracks he is selecting on beoport etc. A side product would also be the new beoport having a picture section which he should also be able to control and watch on the TV.

Okay sounds kinda blurbelled but you get the general idea.

Thoughts and observations would be appreciated.

Regards

Dave

I don't know Avant, but assuming those are the proper connections/commands, your logic is impeccable.  Works like that on BV4, BV7, and external monitor.  Good job!

Hmmm so it might just work! Excellant, We are going to try it when he returns from a new year holiday, However as always with installations Logic flies out the window at the most inoportune moment! Haha.

 Thank you for your kind words

Dave
