MasterLink Gateway From Bang & Olufsen

Construction News Image
Imagine you come home tired after work – you enter your house through the front door and no one's home to cater to your needs… and yet maybe someone is at home.

You press the "open up" icon on the panel in the hallway, and Master Link Gateway is at your service! Now what can it do for you?

The Master Link Gateway system now takes care of the following for you: the lights in the hallway are switched on and a soft, pleasant atmosphere is already created. Your favourite music is heard in the BeoLab 4 loudspeakers in the hallway. It is your favourite jazz artist that opens up the ball, quickly followed by similar tracks found by the intelligent MOTS algorithm on your BeoSound 5, which, by the way, is placed in the living room.

Through the doorway to your living room, you can see the curtains are opening up, and the living room lights are turned on – all welcoming you home.

You feel warm and exhausted; you could really do with a bit of freshening up. Not to worry!

Through Master Link Gateway, you get the solution to that problem as well.

You enter the living room, take your Beo5 remote control in your hand and simply press the "wave" icon on the display: now BeoSound 5 plays a continuation of your favourites in the living room. The automated floor moves down, water appears and fills up the cleverly concealed swimming pool, and a new suitable light scene is created at the swimming pool. Is it not fantastic to swim through track after track of wonderful jazz?

After a nice refreshing swim, you get up and I'm sure you would like finish the day with one of your favourite films.

Now you press TV on your Beo5 remote and the following happens: your BeoSound 5 switches off, because Bang & Olufsen knows that you will probably not want to listen to music, while you’re watching a film in the same room, the curtains close as you want to focus on the TV experience, the lights are dimmed in some places while left on at the coffee table, so you can always find your drink.

Your BeoVision 7 is switched on, the electronic curtains open up for a TV experience, when the sound, brightness and all picture adjustments are at the exact right level. BeoVision 7 elegantly turns towards your all time favourite chair and you can now lean back and watch the film as it comes on.

Meanwhile your lights at the swimming pool area are switched off. No need to waste unnecessary energy and the swimming pool is covered with the floor again.

Since you are now home alone and you feel quite tired, you decide to watch the last part of the film in bed. As you enter your bedroom, you activate the DVD button on your remote control and your bedroom TV now gives you access through the BeoLink system to the DVD you have been watching on your main room TV, and which is still in your BeoVision 7.

As the film ends, you decide it's time to sleep, and you press the "goodnight" icon at your bed post. Now all A/V equipment and lights in the house are switched off, the lights in the bedroom dimmed to your preferred level, the air condition is turned down to a minimum, and, last but not least, all doors are locked.

It is now only the stars above, which are controlled by someone else. With Bang & Olufsen and Master Link Gateway you can handle the rest.
