Following discussions in other threads it occurs to me that there may be an opportunity to be exploited if we can utilize the now redundant PC connection on the thousands of BeoLink Actives that we already own. In my own installation I have 7 "B&O enabled" rooms. I can only use 3 of those rooms to introduce new sources to the ML (BS9000, BeoPort and an Avant). The other locations are "sterile" in that they can only select sources which are connected to the Aux port on the BS9000, to my Mac, or the scart connections on the Avant. In my installation there are other possibilities (an AppleTV in a link room for instance). Presumably it would not be a huge amount of work to enable the redundant PC connection on BeolLink Active boxes. I could see a huge opportunity in the marketplace for a small "black box" which connects on one side to the redundant PC connector on the BeoLink and has digital and analog audio connections on the other, Lintronic to the rescue perhaps. Does anyone have the technical knowledge to evaluate the feasibility of this. Perhaps it's just the case that a pin needs to be held high on the datalink?
Any ideas Keith?
