Getting Started with iControl Solo
Densité Manager 2
Imaging Communicators allow you to control signal processing and distribution performance modules
housed in Miranda Imaging series (Symphonie, Quartet 2) frames. The Imaging series frames are
connected to your PC or laptop via RS-422 serial ports.
Densité Communicators allow you to control interfacing and distribution modules housed in Miranda
Densité frames. A Densité frame is connected to the network via its Densité Controller Ethernet port.
To be able to use a communicator, the service must be configured. If the service is not configured, you will
not be able to control the devices even if they are connected. If the service is configured, but there are no
cards connected, only the service will be displayed in the Navigator window.
Densité Manager
The Densité Manager is a service that allows you to manage multiple Densité frames (using Densité
Communicators).
For the Densité Manager to discover cards and begin controlling services, you need to specify the
IP addresses of the Densité frames that it will manage. Each frame may contain up to 20 devices. If you do
not add any addresses, or if you add an incorrect address, the Densité Manager will not discover any
frames.
Detailed Directions
To set up your iControl Solo system you will need to:
• connect the Densité and Imaging frames that house the cards you wish to control,
• configure Densité and Imaging services in iControl Solo.
