    Lintronic

    Hi!

    I'm going to buy a Lintronicbox to control but I still wonder if I have to boy an external IR-eye to get the signals. Can anybody tell if it's possible to use the IR-eye in my 7-40 and 6-26 to send the signal to the box and then control my harddiscrecorder and other stuff. I guess (and I'm not sure) if I can take the signal from the masterlinkcable and put it into the Lintronicbox or maybe from a scart?

    ;-) Jes

    Re: Lintronic

    Hi Jes,

     I connected SCART Pin 8 (data) and Pin 21 (ground) to IR data input of the -238 box and it works. Tested it with MX 4000 and BV7-40.
    Connect your -238 box to Lintronic`s Memory map, and you can see the commands. Works also from linkrooms and in an MCL-system.
    I have a Relay 108 board connected to my MCL-system and it works. 
    Hope this helps

    Hi Stefan!

    Sounds great!!! I have the 7-40 in livingroom and 6-26 in bedroom and all other stuff in a closet about 10-11 meter between the two rooms. I guess I have to connect the 7-40 and 6-26 with a masterlink and airalcable. And then a scart from my harddiscrecorder (Sony) to 7-40 to get the signal through to 6-26. But also a hdmi same way to get the best picture on my 7-40. I the closet I have a junctionbox and hoped to get the signal to Lintronic from there... but can I get it from the scart getting into my harddiscrecorder? What I'm not sure about is if there always will be sending a signal through this scart to the Lintronic?

    Sorry about my confusion!

    ;-) Jes

    Re: Lintronic

    The SCART-cable just sends commands in the video mode you defined for the AV socket. If you choose V.MEM for the socket, the -238 box only receives commands in V.MEM mode. I noticed one problem in my BV7-40 MK II setup: DVD2 mode (V.TAPE2) is detected as V.MEM.
    But that doesn`t really matter. I also tried to send and receive commands on masterlink via beolink converter on my AV9000 but no luck - not yet.

    Nice... Then your can control it from a link room. Nice job Yes -  thumbs up

    Hi Stefan,
    Could you make a schematic drawing of the connections? How do you connect from the scart to the Lintronic box (what is the IR data input on the Lintronic box) ?

    Re: Lintronic

    Hi Frank,

    the IR input on the Lintronic box is a 3,5 mm jack connector at the back of the box called Input, ext. data input, infrared, RF,etc.
    http://www.lintronic.dk/TableTopVersion-Technical-005.pdf
    You need a 3,5 mm stereo jack, but you only need 2 pins: B= IR signal, C= Ground. 
    http://www.lintronic.dk/InfraRedReceivers.htm#1455
    You connect IR signal to pin8 and ground to pin21 (SCART). That`s it.

    Re: Lintronic

    Fantastic Stefan!

    I'll give it a try... Do you know if I can take the signal at the end where I have the harddiscrecorder (10 meter from my 7-40), because I would like to have my Lintronic 238 at the same place as my other stuff it's going to control. Then I don't have to make my TT-IR-ET03 Infrared Emitter longer.

    Re: Lintronic

    Connect your 238 box on the harddiscrecorder side, 10 m is a long way, but I think it works. If so, you don`t an Infrared Emitter at all. They are built into the box. Good luck.

    Re: Lintronic

    Transmit the BV7 (on the Scart pin 8) the N.MUSIC or other audio commands too??

     Thank's

    Re: Lintronic

    Interesting post; I will also give this a try.

    Main reason to try is that I hope to improve the signal receiving this way. Using the Lintronic box only, I have to point the Beo4 to the box.

    Is the IR signal available on all scart connections (for instance on a Avant)?

    Re: Lintronic

    Hi

    I use A Beolink IR receiver from a Beolink passive for my lintronic box because I was not happy with the internal receiver.  now it works just as good  as my other B&O products.

    BV7 is a video product and can only transmit video commands on SCART sockets. If you assign for example a socket to V.MEM it will only transmit commands in V.MEM mode when connected to this socket. Audio commands are possible when connected to an audiomaster via datalink. I tested this using a Beomaster 4500. You will find more info here: http://www.lintronic.dk/NewsLetter-2008-2.pdf

    Yes, should also work with an Avant. But as said in my previous post, the SCART socket will only send commands in the mode it is assigned to, for example, if you assign your SCART socket to V.AUX, the .238 box will only receive commands in V,AUX mode. More info:

    http://www.lintronic.dk/NewsLetter-2008-2.pdf

    To improve the reception of IR signals use a Beolink eye, as Søren recommended.

    Re: Lintronic

    thank you Stefan! Datalink is the MCL right'

    Is it possible to connect the data from ML connector (Pin1 and 2) into the Lintronic? Yes it's a balanced signal but with a little electronics (Op amp) it's possible to unbalanced the signal?

    Re: Lintronic

    Hi Stefan & other experts,

    4-5 months ago I tested Stefans setup but never finalized the 'project'.. And today was supposed to be the day.. However, I have a strange problem when using the scart metod:

    TT-238 is listening to scart PIN8 - The lintronic software (configurator ver. 001.004.008) is receiving BEO4 remote commands (also from link rooms), but the TT238 is not transmitting anything.. strange..

    Any suggestions before I tear off my hair? Confused

    Re: Lintronic

    Gordon,

    did you map the incoming Beo commands to the 3rd party commands? You have to set up the memory map, so that the Lintronic box is able to send commands. The Lintronic box must be able to "see" the 3rd party device.
