Contemporary Research 9 ICC2-ATSC
Setup Guide
The ICC2-ATSC+ supports a mix of setup tools, including:
 HD2-RC Remote Mode (accesses On-Screen Graphic Menus and special HD functions)
 IC-RC Remote Mode (accesses Text Menus and special media functions)
 Front-Panel Setup
 IC-Net commands from system or iC Send
The reason for the options is that the ICC2-ATSC+ is designed to offer advanced analog/digital
tuning, yet be compatible with existing iC-Net systems.
IR Remote Operation
The IC-RC Remote is used with analog tuners as well as media and text menu control functions
when used in iC-Net control systems. The HD2-RC IR Remote is designed for control and setup of
ATSC-series HDTV tuners. Both remotes send the same IR codes, the difference is in how the
tuner responds.
In most cases, IC-Net systems, especially for schools and other applications that access on-
screen text menus and interactive media control, will continue to use the traditional IC-RC remote
and mode.
System integrators can switch the ICC2-ATSC+ to the HD2-RC mode to access HD features, such
as channel scans and set up of 16:9 or 4:3 display modes. Then switch to IC mode to test iC-net
operation and IC-Net device number.
Front-Panel Setup
The Front Panel modes are useful for setting tune mode, HD output and resolution, and switching
between IC and HD2 remote modes.
IC Send Control
You’ll find the free IC Send program to be a great tool for system setup and testing, especially if
the site is using the ICE-HE Head End and your laptop is configured for the site’s network. You
can also use a PC or laptop via RS-232 with the ICC-HE Head End. Key functions include:
 On, Off and Tune commands to test operation to one or all ICC2-ATSC+ units.
 IR Mode. Switch all tuners to IC or HD2 modes.
 Channel Setup. Use the T^ Command to force all units to scan channels, then use the XA
and XD commands to add and remove channels from the list. If you’re using RS-232
control at the head end, have an ICC2-ATSC+ at that location to check your setup.
 Tuner Setup. Use LM and TM commands to configure general tuner operation.
 Default Input. Use the ER command to set the default input.
Device Address Settings
Use the front-panel setting 2 and 3 to set the address. Menu 3 sets the Zone address, and Menu 2 sets the
individual number in the zone. For example the system address for a controller is 257, set Menu 2 to 2.1 (1),
and Menu 3 to 3.1 (Zone 1, which is address 256), 1 + 256 = 257 system address. The controller will act by
itself when you send the unique 257 code, as a zone group when you send 256, or with all with address 4095.
Zone 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
256 512 768 1024 1280 1536 1792 2048
Zone 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
