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) con-
trol 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.
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 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.
