The IM-Server is an interface module for media servers and
players and slides into the card cage on an IntelliControl ICS
Modular MultiZone Receiver. It provides Ethernet based control,
metadata such as artist and song title, information to keypads
that have a visual display, and line level audio inputs for single
or multi-stream media servers/players. Source components are
controlled with both an IR flasher output and CAT 5 Ethernet
connections. The card has cascade audio outputs and IR pass-
through to allow expansion to additional IntelliControl ICS
Modular MultiZone Receivers in expanded systems. Additional
IM-Server cards can be used, one for each stream output of a
multi-steam media server/player.
