Programming 28
Setting up Sources
The Sources section allows to define sources for each BeoLink product. This information will be used by mobile applications for generating a user
interface where each product contains the relevant sources.
This section is only relevant for supporting mobile applications, and has no effect on macro programming.
! If BeoLink resources have been uploaded from a Beo5 project file, the sources screen should automatically contain most information necessary (with
a default UI type field according to the source).
- Navigate to
Programming
and click the tab
Sources
.
A list of sources can be
defined for each product.
The information to provide for
each source is the following:
-
Source
:
This is the actual Beo4/5/6 command for selecting the source.
-
Name
:
This is an optional label to show with the source. Try to use a short label (no more than 5 or 6 characters) so that it can fit on less space on the user
interface. The recommendation is to leave this field empty unless you need a specific description for this source (e.g. name of a set-top box or DTV
service).
-
Dst
:
This is equivalent to the A/V button on Beo4, or the Destination field for BeoLink commands in macros. This field should be filled in automatically
depending on the source; you can also select AUTO in order to retrieve the default setting for that source type. You can modify this setting if
needed, such as selection of audio sources on video products on Option 1 or Option 5 or vice-versa.
-
Link
:
In the case of a link product having local sources, sources from the main products are selected using the LINK modifier (just as with Beo4). This may
also be necessary for products in OPTION 4.
Important
: Many BeoLink products do not support this modifier.

UI
type
:
This is an indication to the mobile application on what type of user interface is needed for operating the product. Choose the type that most suits
your specific source or set-top box.
