B&O Avant 55" to operate Apple TV4

I would like to purchase an AppleTV4. Today I have the Apple TV3 which is connected to the TV with HDMI cable and I use the optical output to run get the Audio signal into my Linksystem with a Converter NL/ML.

 

I would like to now connect a Apple TV 4.

 

Following questions I have:

1 Can I operate the new Apple TV with my Beoremote as on the Apple TV 3?

2. How do I get the Audio signal into my Link Converter? 

 

Appreciate any help and tips on this one. 

1. Yes.

2. You don't get audio output except via hdmi. Send the tv sound using a powerlink to line adaptor (requires tv on to send audio, and on ATV source) or keep atv3 for audio use(or replace with airport express / chrome cast audio if you can do without AirPlay).

2. Or use an HDMI Audio Extractor like this:

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Good solution, dear MM. I guess this converter is also the way to go if you want to connect ATV 4 to Masterlink Beovisions because you have to connect the ATV also digital and analogue to get sound in linkrooms!

Interesting idea! But how will this interfere with HDCP copy protection and the sleep/wake over HDMI? Perhaps it is totally invisible but its worth considering. I am not sure if Apple TV sends PCM 2.0 or if it is more channels even for stereo sound (it overlays its own sounds over a playing track, so it might very well be more channels at least sometimes). 

Thanks for the quick answer. Can you please help me with number 1 and give me some hints. My dealer can't help since he tells me that the new Apple TV works with Bluetooth rather then I fares and I can't use my Beo remote. 

Yes, you can (with the usual puc-solution) - there are several posts here on this.

(Let your dealer read these!).

But - of course - you can't 'swipe' and use Siri...

Thanks vor all the help. I can confirm now that the Apple TV4 works with the same PUC and sensor as the TV3. I just connected the cable and it worked. Also the sound is passed rthru the Beovision Avant into the Nl converter into my link system in my house.  Excellent if you use Apple Music.

Yes. It works but not all buttons are mapped since the new Apple TV has a new home button as well. The home button serves several purposes:

- get to home screen quickly

- hibernate (hold long then play)

- quit apps (press twice)

Without this we can't put the Apple TV in hibernation automatically (for example when turning the tv off). This causes a problem for example if you're playing music or a movie. Then the default hibernation time won't click in before all the music has been played or the movie has come to an end.

We either can't exit for example some games if they are opened by mistake from the BeoRemote.

So a new IR table is required for optimal use. Just cross your fingers that Apple has made an Ir code for that button as well. ( I am sure they have or will, since people uses a lot of other remotes and control systems too)

1. When I got the new Apple TV 4 i simply just replaced the PUC IR-eye from the Apple TV 3, and just put it over ruffly the same spot on the Apple TV 4.

Still use the Apple TV 3 software. It works. The Apple TV 4 can tell if the Apple remote is active or not.  
Easy to use.

But I hope the Apple TV 4 will get new software soon. Because it has som big problems.
