Not unless you downscale the signal, Beolink can't distribute HD signals, and none of the gear (Beomedia ect) downascales this autotmatically.

It could be possible to do this using some small extra pieces of kit, been into the Derby store and spoke to Andy ( 01332 362292 ) and he has ordered some kit from the states that will allow this to be distributed to link rooms with full control.

 He is going to test this out and let me know when he has set it up to demonstrate it for me.

 Just to clarify what is a BM1?

 Hope this may help you out!!

Thanks:

BM1 = BeoMedia 1, sorry

This is a tough one! The answer is absolutely yes, but it is impractical. The BeoMedia 1, for example, is the only peripheral I routinely "link" due to its high cost. The fact of the matter is that the AppleTV costs less than half of the products and cables required to distribute it. What's more, it's possible to keep multiple AppleTVs synched in the same house.

In case you'd like to see for yourself:

1. Ignore the RF modulator for "video link." You will use ML for stereo sound and run low voltage cable for control. Video will be carried over CAT-V through a distribution amplifier. Key Digital & Gefen both make one, though I'm partial to Key Digital.

2. HDMI will run out of the AppleTV (you can use RGB if you want, just use different parts). It will run into the Key Digital HDMI Distribution Amplifier. There will then be 8 outputs you can use. From an output you rund HDMI that will be spliced into a balun. The balun will then link in 2 runs of CAT-V which will carry the signal to where ever it's headed. It's then converted back to HDMI with another balun and into the BeoVision.

3. Depending on the IR flasher you're using, it may have different recomendations for how to extend it. I've been using a 50ft Nile w/ feedback lately and they recommend using 16/2 speaker cable. This will be run alongside CAT-V and plug into CONTROL on the BeoVision. (This will result in an IR flasher for each television involved being placed over the eye, so remember that!)  

4. Theoretically, if you want to avail yourself of the multi-channel sound over HDMI you can. In this case, the ML becomes uneccessary for this setup. You basically have a single peripheral outputting to several sets with a distribution amp and some low voltage cable. It's worked quite well for me.

The BeoMedia, for those interested, works the best, since control and sound run over ML and all you need is to distribute VGA as described above.

Guys

 I have had exactly the same issue and the way to resolve is to use the following, it take HDMI and spits out Composite which the TV will then modulate and also RCA L and R Audio

The only issue is that it costs as much as an AppleTV, and also means that its in SD on the local TV and on the Link...

 If your pockets are deep the best way is to use the following as it has a loop, so you can use HD on the Local TV and then also kick out composite to be modulated on to the link..

Let me just se if i get this right. I believe that if you hook up your AppleTv  through composit (the red white yellow connection) through a composite to scart converter in AV4 on say your BV7. Set up your STB controller to AV4 in your main room, it should be possible to see the signal in your linkroom or what??. I dont see why not, as you are connecting your AppleTV analoge and normal Masterlink and Videosignal through an RF modulator is perfectly cable of delivering analoge signals to linkrooms. In the same way i think it is possible to hook up say a videocam to your mainroom tv and watch it in your link room adwell. If this is NOT possible (in this easy way) please let me know why not, as i dont quite understand why this is so different from distributing say a dvd signal from mainroom to linkroom..

Thanks in advance

The Apple TV has no composite out (or at least, the only way to get composite out from the Apple TV really requires some fiddly work.

Hi Guys,

If its going to cost the price of another AppleTV, then just buy another one (Apple TV) :) They all Sync plus you get the added benefit of not needing to have the main TV turned on.

I guess that the link room TV needs to have the STB for it installed and that would cost some money to do, inevitably.

Happy New Year
