Application: Distribute RS-232 control commands through RF coax via a micro TV channel

The ICC-HE Head-End Network Controller converts RS-232 protocol for 2-way distribution over RF coax, twisted pair wiring, and RS-422. The ability to network TVs, video projectors, and large-screen video displays over the existing CATV coax cable simplifies the creation of large-scale distributed TV control systems by eliminating the need to run additional control wiring. Employing clear-channel RF frequencies to transmit and receive data, the iCC-Net network is compatible with most CATV systems without conflict with existing channels. The bi-directional network operates over a standard low-split cable system, simplifying installation and support.

Applications include educational television systems, presentation rooms, auditoriums, pay-per-view, theme parks, museums and industrial video networks.

• Networks with up to 4,000 TVs through wired iCW-Net and broadband CATV iCC-Net networks
• iCC-Net operates through same CATV coax as TV channels, requires no additional wiring
• iCW-Net distributes data over Category 5 or 3 wiring, fiber optic cable (using RS-422 fiber interfaces
• Sends commands to individual devices, zones, or all units from a single RS-232 port
• Interacts with CR ABC-Net Media Networks, iC4 Commander and iC ToolKit software, or custom control systems
• Includes local control buttons and I/O ports that can trigger events in PC software or control systems
• Provides LED feedback for network, control, and operation status
• Sends commands to individual devices, zones, or all units from a single RS-232 port
• Mounts on shelf or 19” equipment rack
