ICC1-232 Manual
The ICC1-232 RS-232 Display Controller delivers economical 1-way control for power, volume, channels, and
available control lockout commands, receiving iCC-Net network commands over the same broadband coax that
carries the CATV channels. Compact in size and price, the ICC1-232 features discrete power control and
intelligent tuning from a channel list stored in onboard non-volatile memory. Tuning options include analog- and
HDTV-format channels.
High-speed 1-way control is possible through the same RF cable that carries the TV channels, creating
networked operation of distributed media systems without adding control wiring. Compatible with the
Contemporary Research SignStream™, iC-Web, and iC Commander software, the ICC1-232 can be networked
with up to 4000 display controllers. For custom systems applications, the ICC1-232 and other CR display
controllers can be accessed from a single RS-232 or Telnet port on an ICE-HE Ethernet Head End.
Applications include signage and video distribution for retail stores, theme parks, museums, government
facilities, sports venues, worship spaces, convention centers, airports and corporate video networks..
