Masterlinking Beovision 7 TVs

15 replies

Anyone has any suggestions to Paul's second question?

I am moving to another apartment soon and would like to know whether I should keep the master link or convert it to network cable completely (Cat 6 or &?)

Thank you for your answers :-)  Sorry for the late reply, I was just enjoying the last skiing of the season...

I am back now.  I understand what you are saying now, one of the connections for HDMI can output as well, designed for use with a projector, it allows the duplication of what you would see on the screen.  I may use that.  It is not all up and running, but I need to add more sources over time.  I realise if you have a HD source and you want to distribute it, you can, but in SD format, by setting it up with the SCART output (it has to have one) and therefore you can view HDMI on the master TV and SD on the link TVs.  I may find this an acceptable solution. 

If you ever want to tell me more that I am missing out on my 7-55 MkII (yes it is the 3D!) then please feel free!

Keep well,


Paul

If carrying out a new installation, I would be inclined to run at least 2 x S/FTP Cat 7 cables to each location from a central point. They can be patched together to create a masterlink network, but can equally be redeployed in the future to allow for replacement of masterlink products with their netlink equivalents without needing to run in new cables again at that point.

Kind Regards,

Martin.
