I wonder how you connect a BS4 to a MLGW.

Does it need a NL<>ML converter??

Quite like it on a stand, but i think it will spend all its time on a wall. Would be interesting to compare the picture quality of the old and the new picture engines.

You can take also a look at the new Beosystem 4 on B&O website.

Very interesting info in the specs of BS 4:

HDMI 6 x connections. (5 x HDMI on BeoSystem 4, 1 x HDMI out for connection of external monitor or projector)

 

As already discussed I assume you will need a HDMI splitter and probably a software update to connect an external monitor (BV 12) AND a projector.

Hi Räuber,

there is only one HDMI out. 

You either use this for a BV127BV4 or a non B&O display - or for the projector.

The SW update and the possibility to use both a main tv and a projector is announced for end of the year.

It is supposed that this is done via a switch!

BUT - how about this: a Matrix Switch - which could make it possible to have 2 (or more) BSys4 and multiple BV's/monitors in a setup.

Just a though of mine, speculations ( Sorry  - I shouldn't do it, but...)

But it is possible to place the BSys4 in a rack in a tech-room - so why not?

They must have thought of something - otherweise they could just have implemented the 2 outputs direct in the BSys4 like on the BSys3.

Now have a look!

Appart from the lack of 2xHDMI support (there should also be 2x "monitor control" outputs...), there is one design thing that is lacking :

I found the whole concept of the BSys3 very "B&O" because of its reversed design : connectors were on the front, cables guided by the lateral tubes.

Now they are going back to a normal design with nothing at the front and connectors at the back... I don't understand why... Maybe this conservative design is better to place the BSys4 on a rack, a feature asked by users?

Here it is in real life :

Hi mbee,

🤒 - Thanks for the real-live-picture.

There is a wall mount for the BSys4 as well - if that ain't pretty enough, I am am sure STBBrackets will come up with something else.

The BSys4 will mostly be hidden in a rack or a cupboard or inside the BV12 - so I personally won't miss the 'design' of the BSys3.

Hi Millemissen,

I spoke about design, not about style : the design of the BS3 is practical : you just open the door and all your connections are there, meaning that you can check quickly if you have a bad connector, or can quickly access to connectors when adding a device, changing a decoding card...

Even hidden, the BSys3 benefits of this smart design! With a Bsys4, try to add a HDMI device when everything is connected, with short cables....
Other thing : I use to disconnect the antenna when a very big thunderstorm is happening (just in case)... At the back of a device, it's a nightmare!

if i look at the backside of my bv 11 the "new" beosystem 4 is always integrated in my tv.

the box shown above has no build in harddiskrecorder, but if you use the unused holes on the right, you have an additional sat in....and maybe a second hdmi out (+control) integrated in this box.
