BV7 expands!

The next BV7 will be 40-MKIII. And here is what the EU-backpanel will look like
HDMI at last :-)

Gerd,

How do you know this / where does the picture come from?

It's from the new (preliminary) BeoSystem 3 installation guide

Very nice to see the addition of (long overdue) HDMI ports. Also find it a bit strange they added a VGA input but dropped the DVI input, with most PC's (or even the Mac Mini) having DVI output I would of thought DVI would stay, and considering you can't do HDCP over the VGA, it means connecting a PC to the BV7 you now need a DVI->HDMI converter.

Just looking at the picture again, has AV4 disappeared, or is AV4 the HDMI inputs, also where are the 4 audio inputs that are on the MKII - or is just part of the picture is missing?

.:FS:.

You can't convert from DVI-D to VGA or visa-versa, but you can convert from DVI-D to HDMI and visa versa, and hence a VGA input actually makes a lot of sense, as some things like the XBox 360 will only connect via VGA or Component.

FSv2:
also where are the 4 audio inputs that are on the MKII

Each AV input has a digital audio in (SPDIF). HDMI sockets can be assigned to one of the AV.

Hi all!

I'm quite new into the B&O's Lcd & Plasmas and I'm a little confused. Still have an old LX2500 but want a new and want to wait until the new 7-40 MkIII. But I wonder what "based on BS3" means. Do I have to buy more than the 7-40 to use it? Please help me as I if have to spend more money I might buy the "old" MKII before the new price.

All the best to you all!

;-) Jes
