Contemporary Research 9 Display Express System Manual
Display Zones
Display Express assigns control to three entities:
 All Zones – All displays respond to a single command
 Zones – All displays within one of 15 Zones respond to a single command
 Single Display – Sends command to one display address
When you design your Display Express system, arrange your display addresses into one of the 15
zones . This allows you to control a group of displays as if they were one display.
Note that you can change the default names for Zones in Display Express – see Display – Setup in the Display
Express section.
You’ll discover that the ICC1-IR and ICC1-232 controllers typical for many Display Express RF control systems are
designed to follow this Zone address format. You can use the 4 top switches in the second DIP switch to define the
controller’s Zone. You could stop at that point, or use the upper switches to define the controller’s address within
the Zone. For example, setting S2/1 On and S1/2 On defines that the controller is part of Zone 1 (256), and is the
second unit in the Zone (2). The unique address of the controller would be 258 (256 + 2). The ICC2-ATSC follows
a similar procedure – using front-panel programming, you set the unique Unit address (1-255), then the Zone (1-
15).
Use the chart below as a guide to setting your Zones and addresses.
