Frame Sync Cards
Configuration in iControl-Solo
3 Click ‘OK’. The software returns to the Densité Manager and displays the name and IP address
of the card you just added:
4 Dismiss the Densité Manager to return to the iControl-Solo main window. The newly added
card and its eight video ports appear in the list of configurable devices:
The card is identifiable as an “APCII” card and the name you assigned to it is displayed.
The eight video ports are identified by “RFS-0866” and are distinguished by the two right-hand
columns of the window. The ports appear in order, 1–8. (You might have to scroll the window to
see these columns.)
 It might help you to distinguish the different ports more readily if you drag the column
headers to move the ‘Frame’ and ‘Slot’ columns to a more suitable position in the window.
As an alternative to that, you can also right-click the ‘Short label’ field of RFS entries and
choose ‘Rename’ from the context menu to give the RFS entries unique identifiers.
 The terminology of iControl-Solo does not apply well to frame sync cards. For frame sync
cards, the term “frame” means “card” and cards are identified by the name you gave them.
The term “slot” means video port and the “slots” are identified by the numbers 1–8.
 “RFS” stands for “router frame sync” and the term 0886 stems from the fact that the frame
sync card’s part number is EM0886-xx. “APC” means “advanced processing card.”
