ICC2-
IRC
Overview
The ICC2-IRC delivers intelligent, interactive distributed media management. Communicating bi-directionally
over the same RF coax that carries the CATV channels, the ICC2-IRC dramatically simplifies system installation.
The ICC2-IRC features an internal TV tuner for absolute channel access management and a character generator
that outputs on-screen text for channel names, control functions, and interactive menus. Intelligent tuning,
volume and power control is provided by IR control port and included scan sensor. Front-panel control and LEDs
keep users in touch with their system. A full range of control choices is available with the optional
IC-RC IR Wireless Remote, designed for simplified control of distributed media channels and sources.
Compatible with the Contemporary Research ABC-Net Media Retrieval System and other CR software solutions,
the ICC2-IRC TV Controllers can be networked seamlessly with other TV and Video Display controllers. For
custom systems applications, all IRC units and other iC-Net devices can be accessed from a single RS-232 port
on ICC-HE and ICE-HE Head-End Network Controllers.
