Product Information
Product Overview
The iBridge Bay (BGB2) is a table-top device that
allows you to use an Apple®Mac®computer as a
remote source for a Russound RNET®multiroom
system. Used with a Russound RNET A/V Decoder,
it provides RNET access to a Mac’s iTunes®media
library.
With a Russound RNET system, the Bay treats the
iTunes media library as a fully functional RNET
smart source. It gives the system’s keypads, touchscreens, and remote controls full control of iTunes:
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.
The iBridge Bay also enables program information
to display on the RNET system’s keypads and
touchscreens. They show playlist, artist, album, and
song title information from iTunes.
The iBridge Bay uses Russound software (iBridge
Bay Application) to interface with iTunes on the Mac.
The Mac uses Front Row, a user interface for media
(music, video, DVD) selection on the Mac. The
default settings for the iBridge Bay launches the
Mac’s Front Row interface and the iBridge Bay on
startup.
The iBridge Bay can be used two different ways in
an RNET multiroom system. It can be used as an
audio only source in audio zones, or it can serve as
an audio and video source, also displaying video,
photos, and movies in multiroom zones equipped
with a video display.
When used in zones with a video display, you can
use a Russound SRC2 remote control aimed directly
at a keypad or touchscreen to directly control Front
Row on the Mac while watching changes occur on
the video display.
The iBridge Bay supports Mac models running OS X
10.4 or higher and iTunes. It connects via a single
CAT-5e cable to an RNET A/V Decoder at the system controller.

UNO-TS2 Touchscreen Control
An UNO-TS2 touchscreen provides the most complete control and feedback option for iTunes. The
touchscreen allows navigation through the menus in
iTunes to select music by playlist, genre, artist,
album, and song. It also displays current selections.
Note:
UNO-TS2 screen version 2.00.01 is
required for use with iBridge Bay.
Once you select the iBridge Bay from the home
screen, you reach the Bay screens. From the
screen you can scroll through playlists by pressing
the + and – hard keys to the right of the display,
or select the next or previous song with the song
>| or |< hard key. You can also press the Shuffle
soft key to toggle Shuffle off and on.
Pressing the Music soft key displays the Request
screen (right) to access music through any of the
five categories. Selecting any one of the categories
allows you to quickly navigate through your music.
Note: Shared playlists appear with the first four letters of the “Shared Name” as a prefix to the playlist
name. Example: a playlist from shared name
“James” would show as “Jame:Rock Hits.”
