After a loooong time i am back as a poster in my beloved Beoworld (Proud to be one of the 500 founding members 🙂) I always believe that here i can find more accurate answers than my dealer in Greece. 😁

 After 14 years my BV7-32 is still going strong and i am really happy with my setup, Of course times have changed and bigger, more modern screens are somehow essential for a more joyful experience.

My home is MASTERLINKED so all other rooms have Bolink Passives, controled via IR.s and BEO4.

I attach a sketch of my setup. 

My questions are:

1) Is it possible to buy a Beovision Eclipse to change my BV7-32, without destroying my Setup? (I read something about ML/NL box but i know nothing about.

2) If yes, will this mean that i dont have to change my hidden cabling of Powerlinks for my speakers and Masterlinks for other rooms?

3) Will I have control of my passive speakers in other rooms?

4) In case i move my BV7-32 to Bedroom 2 can it be connected somehow to Eclipse as in the old times wth the TV OUT option of Beovisions? 

Thank you in advance in for your answers. Happy to be back!

1) Yes, there is a NL/ML converter that bridge between a NL products and ML products. Product is discontinued so it has to be preowned. How well an Eclipse would work in such a setup has to be answered by others.  You will probably also need to add a "ML powerbox" since you have no Masters in your ML network.

2) That is correct.

 

4) No, Video distribution is not possible, if that is what you are asking for.

Thank you very much Hiort for your answer. Actually a use a Beoport as "fake audio master" as you can see in my updated image in my original post.

The possiblity that i will lose ML, made me think of the option of buying a Beosystem 3 and a TV set fom another manufacturer.

Much cheaper but i will lose my beloved motorized stand amongst other things...
