Grass Valley iControl Solo v.6.00 - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
Overview
This guide describes how to configure and use iControl Solo for controlling and monitoring
devices required in the broadcast signal path for interfacing, routing and distribution. iControl
Solo is designed and produced by Miranda.
iControl Solo is a stand-alone, PC-based control application which offers affordable control
directly from a desktop or laptop that has Windows 7™. It provides easy list-based control and
configuration of up to 100 Densité Series and/or Imaging Series modules. Operators are
provided with quick access to devices and parameters for fast and easy control. More
advanced control requirements demanding simultaneous, multi-device monitoring and error
logging, and a customized, highly graphical user interface, can be met with the iControl
Application Server. A USB-to-RS-422 adapter (IC-USB) used to connect Imaging Series housing
frames is sold separately.
In brief, iControl Solo offers the following key features and benefits:
• an iControl Solo window with different sorting options, similar to iControl Navigator,
• drivers for most Miranda Densité and Imaging devices,
• the ability to interface up to 100 devices,
• easy problem resolution using status indicators,
• ideal for set and forget operations.
• [OPTIONAL] a loudness logging and analysis service (IC-LOUDNESS-LOG-1-SOLO loudness
logging option for one device to be installed on iControl Solo)
Differences Between iControl Solo and the Standard iControl
System
iControl Solo does not:
• provide thumbnails,
• use a GSM (Global Status Manager) for central management of alarm conditions and error
logging,
• support audio level meters (ALMs),
• support Virtual Service Managers for configuring and controlling Miranda proc amp
devices,
• support Router Manager for configuring and controlling routing switchers.
