BeeLINK - How it works
The OneRemote beeLINK system is based on a 455 khz IR-receiver placed in the room.
Via a beeLINK amplifier it can distribute control data to many different beeLINK
controllers or BeeLINK compatible devices, each designed for a specific purpose. One
controller is used for the TV, another controller for the DVD, a third for a beamer and so
on.
The BeeLINK system lets you control many devices, in a logic way. A single press on the
DTV button on the Beo4 might operate the TV, a receiver, an amplifier and a HDMI
switch at the same time. There are many solutions.
The beo4 remote control is not equipped with as many keys, so we have designed a
‘layout’ that works logically, even when shifting between different devices. To get a
common layout for many devices, we therefore needed to redefine a few of the beo4/ beo5
buttons to other functions:
• Coloured buttons.
To make room for more important functions, we have moved the coloured
buttons, to a lower layer. To send a ‘red’ button command
O must be pressed
first. The same goes with the other 3 coloured buttons. This way we can assign
other functions to the coloured buttons, when pressed, without a preceding go. In
a OneRemote environment the red button is used as Back, Backup or return. The
green button is used as EPG, Guide or similar. Finally the blue and yellow button
is used for programme stepping.
• Programme stepping, up/ down manoeuvring in menu’s.
Most set top boxes and TV’s has 4 arrow buttons for moving up, down, left and
right, in on screen menus. In addition they have separate programme stepping
buttons for zapping through programmes. B&O remote controls do not include
separate buttons for programme zapping.
We therefore have assigned the blue and the yellow buttons to function as
programme stepping buttons, in our basic setup. The four up, down, left and right
buttons have been assigned for manoeuvring in on screen menus, in our basic
setup.
It is possible to use the up and down arrow for programme stepping, refer to the
installation section.
• Go or Record shifted operation.
Some of the buttons has 2 or three functions. To get to these they have to be
preceded with O or r. Which buttons has secondary functions can be
seen in the operating table on page 2.
