iBridge Kit
BGK1
The BGK1 iBridge Kit enables the use of an iPod as
a remote source for a Russound RNET
®
or other
multiroom system. RNET is a two-way technology
that allows Russound components to communicate
with each other.
The kit provides a BGD1 iBridge Dock, an RAVD1
RNET A/V Decoder, and two power adapters. It
allows either RNET or infrared (IR) control of the
iPod, depending on the type of system.
With a Russound RNET system, the BGD1 treats the
iPod as a fully functional RNET smart audio source.
It gives the system’s keypads, touchscreens, and
remotes full control of the iPod’s Play, Pause, Next
Song, Previous Song, Playlist Up, and Playlist Down
functions. An UNO-TS2 touchscreen also has the
ability to select music on the iPod by playlist, genre,
artist, album, and song.
The BGD1 also enables program information to
display on the RNET system’s keypads and touch-
screens. They show playlist, genre, artist, album,
and song title information from the iPod.
When used with a non-RNET system, the BGD1 and
RAVD1 transmit IR commands from the system to
the iPod. With IR control, no program information
feeds back to the system.
The RAVD1 provides the necessary source connec-
tions at the system controller. It connects to the
BGD1 via a single CAT-5 cable.
The kit includes a set of five adapters to support
most iPod models. In addition, the BGD1 provides
power to the iPod to keep it charged while docked.
