iBridge Kit

BGK1

The BGK1 iBridge Kit enables the use of an iPod as

a remote source for a Russound RNET®or other

multiroom system. RNET is a two-way technology

that allows Russound components to communicate

with each other.

The kit provides a BGD1 iBridge Dock, an RAVD1

RNET A/V Decoder, and two power adapters. It

allows 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 audio source.

It gives the system’s keypads, touchscreens, and

remotes full control of the iPod’s Play, Pause, Next

Song, Previous Song, Playlist Up, and Playlist Down

functions. An UNO-TS2 touchscreen also has the

ability to select music on the iPod by playlist, genre,

artist, album, and song.

The BGD1 also enables program information to

display on the RNET system’s keypads and touch-

screens. They show playlist, genre, artist, album,

and song title information from the iPod.

When used with a non-RNET system, the BGD1 and

RAVD1 transmit IR commands from the system to

the iPod. With IR control, no program information

feeds back to the system.

The RAVD1 provides the necessary source connec-

tions at the system controller. It connects to the

BGD1 via a single CAT-5 cable.

The kit includes a set of five adapters to support

most iPod models. In addition, the BGD1 provides

power to the iPod to keep it charged while docked.

iPod is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the US and other countries.
