ICC1-TC Tuner/Controller Product Manual 082020
iCC-Net Control Overview
The ICC1-TC tuner/controller may be configured to be used as a component in an iCC-Net control system. iCC-Net is a unique and
proprietary control command protocol from Contemporary Research for sending one-way control commands to display controllers, HDTV
tuner/controllers, IPTV decoder/controllers, and HDTV tuners over new or existing video distribution infrastructure. Separate dedicated
control wiring for each component is not required. The user will be able to control the content on the displays via channel commands as
well as volume and power. The video distribution system may be CATV channels delivered over coax, MPEG-TS IPTV streams delivered over
an Ethernet network, or a combination of both.
The structure of the iCC-Net protocol command strings allows for independent control of large numbers of ICC1-TC tuner/controllers. The
integrated display controller will handle processing display related commands for control of the display.
For RF based CATV applications, an ICE-HE-DXL display control center is required. The RF output of the ICE-HE-DXL carrying the control data
is combined with source channels to be distributed through the RF system. The control interface for the ICE-HE-DXL may be the embedded
Display Express Lite web application, a Display Express server PC, or a third-party control system. Each iCC-Net device will be assigned a
display device number. As the command strings are broadcast to all devices on the distribution network, a device will only respond when it
receives a string with a device number value that matches its configured device number. All other devices will ignore the command string.
