ICC/ICW- HE
H ead End Network Controllers
2-Way RF and Wired Networking
Contemporary Research offers two solutions for intelligent television control and distributed media management, the
ICC-HE and ICW-HE Head-End Network Controllers. Both units are capable of networking up to 4,000 iC-Net TV
Controllers, Display Controllers and Tuners into a unified, interactive system.
Compatible with ABC Media
Retrieval System and iC Commander software, as well as custom control systems, the Head-End Network
controllers send and receive all commands from a single RS-232 control port.
The ICW-HE provides 2-way iCW-Net networking, distributing iC-Net commands and responses over Category 5 or
Category 3 wiring. Three iCW-Net ports are included, each capable of connecting thousands of ICW-Net format
controllers over wiring runs of up to 3,300 feet (1 Km). In addition, iCW-Net data can be sent to remote locations
over fiber and videoconferencing codecs.
The ICC-HE features the same iCW-Net capabilities as well as distributing iCC-Net data over the CATV cable.
Employing clear-channel RF frequencies to transmit and receive data, the iCC-Net network is compatible with any
CATV system 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.
V Networks up to 4,000 TVs through wired iCW-Net and broadband CATV iCC-Net protocol
