Product Information Product Overview The BGD1 iBridge Dock allows you to use an iPod as a remote source for a Russound RNET® or other multiroom system. Used with a Russound RNET A/V Decoder, it provides 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 source. It gives the system’s keypads, touchscreens, and remotes full control of the iPod: Play, Pause, Next Song, Previous Song, Playlist Up, and Playlist Down. The UNO-TS2 touchscreen adds the ability to select music by playlist, genre, artist, album, and song. Front and Rear Views 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 only conveys IR commands from the system to the iPod. No program information feeds back to the system. The BGD1 supports most iPod models. It connects via a single CAT-5 cable to an RNET A/V Decoder at the system controller. In addition, the BGD1 iBridge Dock provides power to the iPod to keep it charged while docked and connected to the system. 1 1 2 3 CONNECTOR WELL – Accepts most iPod models with supplied adapters SOURCE/FUNCTION SELECTOR – 8position switch for selecting source input or function OS UPDATE PORT – 4-pole connector for updating device firmware with programming cable, Russound part number 2500- 521065 RNET A/V PORT – RJ-45 connector for RNET A/V Decoder POWER JACK – Connector for included 12 VDC 1 A power adapter The source/function selector allows using multiple units on one RNET system by assigning each a unique ID.
