Step 5: Installing Set-Top Boxes
A number of set-top boxes will typically be controlled from cycler services on the Application Server via
GC-100 network adapters. If your system includes an Allégro streaming encoder/server, then one set-top
box will be manually controlled, either from the associated remote control unit, or from the soft remote in
the Application Browser area of the iControl Edge’s Web site.
To connect a GC-100 network adapter to a cycling set-top box:
• Plug one end of an IR emitter cable to an IR output on the GC-100, and position the other end against
the IR receiver on the set-top box front panel.
To connect a set-top box to an HCP-1801 video control probe with embedded audio:
• If using an HCP-1801 video control probe with embedded audio, then you need to insert an ADC-800
CAM converter between the set-top box and the HCP-1801 probe (refer to the documentation that
shipped with these devices).
To connect a set-top box to a pair of Densité probes:
1. Using appropriate cables, connect the composite video output on your set-top box to a BNC input at the
back of the appropriate video probe in your Densité frame (refer to the documentation for your specific
set-top box model and Densité probe).
Note: You may want to shield the link between the IR emitter cable and the IR receiver on the
set-top box by using protective adhesive tape (e.g. duct tape), to prevent adjacent set-top boxes
from picking up IR commands that are not targeted at them.
