Lintronic FAQ

Filed under:

FAQs and additional information about using Lintronic to integrate non B&O devices into B&O solutions.

This page is intended to be added with information by everyone you has anwers to questions, that might be intersting to other members. Or simply post a comment with a question, you would like to see answered here.

Q: How can the Lintonic TT455-RT-238 help to Integrate devices not found in the PUC list?

A1:

The best solution is to connect the -238 box to a SCART connector. This is possible if you have an unused SCART connector on your BeoVision which can be configured as V.MEM or DVD connection. You will need a special custom made SCART cable. Details are shown on the Lintronic support site. This way to integrate the lintronic box has the following advantages:

- Power on/off is controlled according to the connection settings of the BeoVision

- You don't need an extra IR-Receiver

- You can use the non B&O device in a link room, exactly like PUC controlled devices

- The Third-Party device can be hidden away

A2:

If this is not the way you want to go and you don't need link room acessibility, you can use an extra IR-Receiver connected to the -238 box IR input. But you need to be careful not to mixup IR commands, as there are TWO IR-RECEIVERS active - the one of the BeoVision and the one connected to the -238 box.

A3: (information supplied by member nico vercammen)

For BeoSystem3 users there is a very simple way to integrate the -238 box. Simply connect BS3's IR-IN connector to the IR connector of the -238 box using a standard mini jack cable. The IR commands received by BS3 also goes to the -238 box.

 

Q: Can Lintronic help to integrate a non B&O screen with BeoSystem2/3?

Yes, you need to have to choose one of the integrations shown above. Depending on the amount of command integration - only ON/OFF or additional setting - the memory map will be simple or more complex.

 

Q: What are the functions a can "programme" in the memory map?

There is a special page"Integrating non-B&O using Lintronic"  in this WIKI section,  aswering this question, where you can  download a guide and a real life example.
