So you're playing the hdmi source in one room and then playing the audio from hdmi 3 in another?

Previously .. With the sys3?

If you want to hear the sound from another source in linkroom you have to connect this source not only digital (HDMI) but also analogue to mainroom TV, because Masterlink is an analogue system.

First I thought the new Netlink system is a full successor of Masterlink. So I was very disappointed that Netlink can only distribute sound but not video. With Masterlink you can watch videos from any mainroom source on a linkroom Beovision while another person can watch a video from (another or the same) source in mainroom.

And now it seems to be that you can't listen to another source connected to mainroom TV than the source actually working in mainroom. If this is true the NL/ML converter is nearly worthless, it's only a connection of analogue Masterlink sources to a Netlink Beovision. Very disappointing.

Hello everyone,

 

I try to have the confirmation of B&O.

I tried to have two different audio sources from the Beovision 11 connected to the Beolink NL/ML (one for the link room and another directly for the Beovision 11) but unfortunately until now I am not able to do it. Perhaps not the right setting!!! I hope so!!!!!

Dear all,

I received the answer from B&O. The Beovision 11 is not able to handle two different sources. Therefore it  is not possible to listen to a source on the Beolink NL/ML and watching another source on the Beovision 11. As soon as you will select a Beovision 11 source from the Masterlink, the TV will switch to this source.

I lost a big feature...😭

Unbelievable and very poor. If my BV 7 dies some day I have to look for a second hand BV 7 or 10, I would never go for an Avant/BV 11 then without this feature.

Thank for your info though!

That was not good to hear at all. Seems that I will get stuck with my BV10-46 as main TV....
Anyone know if this new constraint applies to the new Avants as well ?
It applies to NL as it stands right now.
Some scuttlebutt that this will be updated in the summer.

We shall see.

As of now you can go analog to digital but not visa versa.

I'm seeing this in connecting a third party panel to my system.

I am going to connect the line out of the third party panel in to the line in on the blc and then use the bs5 a.aux to connect my essence.

This way I'll have streaming across the entire system and be able to pull all network and masterlink sources to the blc.

This would not work the other way.. For instance there's no way now to pull the beolink sources over the a masterlink active kit.
I think this constraint will not only apply with connecting a Masterlink system to NL-BV using the NL/ML-converter, but also if you connect two NL-BVs using a router.

And I don't think this issue can be solved by a software update, I fear it's a matter of hardware.
