Soundproof!!
Thanx for an absolutely fantastic posting! I have lately been trying to control my AppleTV via the Beo4 (without much luck), but I see now that there maybe other, much more exciting possibilities. I was about to buy a Beo5 but I guess those days have passed. I have a few questions (and probably will have many more in the future ;-)
1) Will it be possible to control an AppleTV this way? Apple just launched some really exciting new features - for example the possibility to purchase music / video directly from the AppleTV interface. But maybe this can already be done with the iPhone? BTW - do you see any advantage with the AppleTV (more futureproof solution?) than the MacMini?
2) Can several iPhones be used to control the system. A telephone is a much more personal item than a remote control. Everyone would like to use ther own "remote".
3) The AppleTV definitely needs some more harddisk space and I guess one way of solving this is to buy a Mac Mini and sync/stream from that. But again maybe this is not necessary - maybe the new AppleTV interface will show up on the Mac-Mini as well.
4) Finally - could you explain the optimal video-connection again. As I understand when listening to music Mac Mini > AE > DAC > BeoSound9000 > Beolab5 is the way to go (maybe parallelled with Mac Mini > AppleTV > Beovision 7 > Beolab5), but what about video ?? Mac Mini > DVI-HDMI > Beovision 7 .... but ... how do you get the audio (digital output from the MacMini? ... and how do you switch between listening to music (via BeoSound) and looking att video (via Beovision)? What I mean is - how to you tell the system to send the audio to the TV instead of the BeoSound? What are the optimal connections here? Sorry for being so slow.
Thanx again and hoping for some advice
