Which app is that?

mjmedio,

Thank you for this link.  I have been waiting to see this document for a long time.  I now know why the converter is priced at around $1000 USD.

It use to be that a Bang and Olufsen system regardless of price was relatively easy to setup for the average user.  This is not the situation anymore.

Converting from one analog based protocol to another - like with the old ML/MCL Converter - is not a big problem.

Converting from the (ML) analog protocol to (NL) digital protocol and vice versa is much more complicated.

The current B&O setups can include quite a lot of different (new and old) products, that we (as costumers) expect to work seamlessly together.

Of course this makes it rather complicated to set up - especially in bigger setups. Normally an experienced installer should do this, which is the reason, why the manual is not online on the B&O site.

And then there is the benefit of the included 'Active Link function'. And the possibily for online updates.

These things must lead to a relatively high price.

We should be gratefull, that 'our company' has invested quite a lot of time and manpower to make older and newer A/V products compatible as far as possible.

Which other company would do this? 'Throw your older gear in the bin and buy new stuff instead' seems to be the motto of most other electronic product manufacturers.

You can use the beoremote app to select source etc.

Any network link source will function from beoremote. (I think)

You won't get any macros or scenes etc.

All the beoremote will do is work the active kit section of the converter. The converter is much more than an active kit though.

Hello,

 

I have a question concerning the Network link. I understood that it is important to have another router that the ISP router to isolate the internet traffic from the Beolink traffic. 

I have a NAS. If I am referring to the document, the NAS shall be connected to the Beolink network. The NAS will be visible from my Beovision but now it won't be visible from my computer which is on another subnet.

How to configure the Beolink router to give access to the NAS from another subnet in my network?

Thank in advance for your help.

I use one network for internet and intranet; 

I have never had a problem; 

I have a 20 port unmanaged commercial switch in one location and an 8 port in another; 

so far I've not had any issues.  I use NAS to stream to HomeMedia on a regular basis.

I think the recommendation is two separate networks soas to prevent calls for service

when there's an ISP problem.  That way the B&O folks can blame the ISP when the internet

part is not working but your NAS and communication between devices will work.
