iBridge Kit - BGK1 Data Sheet-1

Data Sheet iBridge Kit BGK1 Kit includes 1 BGD1 iBridge Dock Set of 5 iPod adapters 12 VDC 1 A power adapter Instruction manual 1 RAVD1 RNET A/V Decoder Stereo RCA patch cable RJ-45 patch cable 12 VDC 1 A power adapter Instruction manual BGD1 iBridge Dock with iPod (not included) 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 touchscreens. 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 connections 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. iPod is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the US and other countries.
