Appendix 39
ML Roles description and overview
The selection of ML Role depends on which products (roles) is already on the Master Link. Master Link can only have one Audio Master (A Master)
and one Video Master (V Master). The A Master is solely responsible for distributing audio sources on Master Link and the V Master is solely
responsible for distributing sound from video sources on Master Link.
As starting point for each of the following 5
examples we have a pure Master Link setup with
BeoVision 7 (the V Master) and
BeoMaster/BeoSound 5 (the A Master). (See fig. 1).
