Integration roles

2 replies
With a TV as an Integration "master" you can only have one audio product integrated with sharing speakers but have the option of a second "connected" audio product. I wanted to get a little clarity on the purpose of a second connected audio product. What features does this provide for the second audio product that would be different than say a "normal" audio product on the network? Or do audio products not "advertise" sources unless "Connected"?  
OK, I figured out what must of been a silly question for most of you. I've just switched from a MasterLink-centric network with a few NL products (with converters) to an NL network with a few converted ML products (with converters) and was still thinking through the MasterLink paradigm lens. I guess I had always thought of the connected products having to deal primarily with integration ( audio-master & video-master) but after setting everything up it's clear that's just how you make products visible to each other on the network. Any integration option is a secondary feature within that. It's been a few years. A lot to catch up on:)
