Signal Masterlink

4 replies
Bonjour à tous, 

Je compte acquerir très prochaiement un system beocenter 2, et je me demandais quelle était la nature du 
signal qui transitait dans la connection masterlink ? YUV ? HDMI ? ou autre ? 

Merci pour vos réponses.

Eric.

Bonsoir,

Le cable Masterlink ne véhicule pas de signaux vidéo.

Il n'y a que des signaux audio et des commandes de contrôle des appareils.

Le Beocenter 2 sort un flux vidéo en RVB , S-VHS ou composite via les prises du boitier de connexion.

Merci de votre réponse Yann, 
Pas de hdmi ou de YUV, c'est quand même dommage :( ...


Eric, the Masterlink signal only carries data, voltage switching (-7 to -15V on pin 11 and +7 to +15V on pin 12---down to -+3 on standby respectively) and balanced audio. The audio is on the following pins, all with Resistance in of 2.2M Ohms, and Resistance out of 75 Ohms at 1V balanced:

Pin 13: minus Left 

Pin 14: plus Left  

Pin 15: minus Right

Pin 16: plus Right

I believe that an early version of the ML cable (with four rather than three twisted groups of three) may have been designed for video, but today's ML system relies on a 75 Ohm coax connection back to the main splitter for video distribution.
