MASTER LINK

3

BeoLink has the ability to distribute both audio and video signals. In the 
Master Link system audio and control signals are distributed using a single 
cable, while the distribution of video signals requires an aerial network 
(coax).

Only BeoLink-compatible products can be fully integrated into a BeoLink 
system, whereas products from earlier seasons can to a limited extent be 
used as described in the section on compatibility setups, page 17.
