BeoSystem 2

The BeoSystem 2 was the receiver and control unit for the BeoVision 4 range of plasma display panels. Though the BeoVision 4 contained little input from B&O, the BeoSystem 2 was largely a Danish design and so formed the part of the system where a quality advantage could be gained. Visually, the BeoSystem 2 resembled a small metal filing cabinet. This contained similar receiving and signal processing technology to that used in the other BeoVision models of the period and worked with a small IR and ambient light sensor (similar to the BeoLink Eye) to allow remote control operation using a Beo 4 terminal and automatic adjustment of the display’s brightness and contrast. A compartment at the top with a drop-down aluminium door was sized to make room for a DVD 1 or HDR 1 which of course could also be operated by remote control.
