- Page 2 Overview The ICE-HE-DXL Display Control Center is an intelligent solution for “over-the-coax” RF display control to any combination of ICC1- IRX Controllers, ICC1-232 Controllers, and ICC2-ATSC4S Tuner/Controllers. Control commands are sent over RF by inserting a micro data channel in the gap between channels 4 and 5. In addition, its flexibility allows it to communicate with individual displays, groups, zones, or all displays using any one of three software options: the onboard DX Lite web page, Display Express Software from Contemporary Research, or third-party control systems.
