Introduction
Welcome to iControl Solo!
Overview
This guide describes how to configure and use iControl Solo for controlling and monitoring devices required
in the broadcast signal path for interfacing, routing and distribution. iControl Solo is designed and
produced by Miranda Technologies Inc.
iControl Solo is a stand-alone PC-based control application which offers affordable control directly from a
desktop or laptop that has Windows 7™ or Windows XP™ Professional. It provides easy list-based control
and configuration of up to 100 Densité Series and/or Imaging Series modules. Operators are provided with
quick access to devices and parameters for fast and easy control. More advanced control requirements
demanding simultaneous, multi-device monitoring and error logging, and a customized, highly graphical
user interface, can be met with the iControl Web and iControl PM applications. A USB-to-RS-422 adapter
(IC-USB) used to connect Imaging Series housing frames is sold separately.
In brief, iControl Solo offers the following key features and benefits:
• a Navigator window with different sorting options, similar to iControl Navigator,
• drivers for most Miranda Densité and Imaging devices,
• the ability to interface up to 100 devices,
• easy problem resolution using status indicators,
• ideal for set and forget operations.
