ICC and ICW Smart TV Controllers. The ICC2 TV Controller communicates bi-directionally over the same RF coax that carries the CATV channels, while the ICC1 TV Controller receives commands over RF. The ICW TV Controllers connects over a twisted-pair network using Category 5 or Category 3 wiring and connectors.
‘F’, female, 75 ohm impedance, RF from CATV system iCC-Net: Carried over the same RF coax connection as TV channels Receive: (ICC2, ICC1) Mid-band VHF, 74.7MHz, sent from ICC-HE Head-End Network Controller -25 to +35 dBmV signal level Transmit: (ICC2 only) Sub-band, 5.6MHz sent to Head-End Network Controller ±80 KHz max carrier deviation...

4. The TV/COM LED will be off before inserting the cable, switches to on when communication is established, flashes when a button is pressed on the TV or IR remote. RF Coax and iCC-Net Operation (ICC2, ICC1) 1. Connect the CATV RF Coax cable into the RF In jack.
ICC2 unit’s RF output. Press Enter to stop transmitting, or the unit will automatically stop after 50 seconds. 65481 Display ICC2 transmitter frequency control voltage – should be 2000 - 3150. 65483 Display DF transmitter frequency deviation – should be 245 - 300.

RS-232 control for up to 4000 TV Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The ICC-HE Head-End manages iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC1 (1-way) and ICC2 (2-Way) TV Controllers as well as ICW TV Controllers over twisted-pair Cat3/5 wiring. The ICW-HE Head-End operates on the twisted-pair network only.

SP "$A5,0,0,3,'SP'" (6 bytes) Queries the Head-End for the number of devices present on the network and the number of devices expected. Contemporary Research Corporation order End, so the system will know the user is trying to change channels. In response, the system could change channels on a media sources, like a VCR or satellite.

You've probably figured out that you never want to assign a virtual device number to an actual device in the system. If you assigned #1536 to a device, all the TV controllers in Zone 6 would respond every time you sent a command to that one device.
One of the key tasks for iC-Net integrators is to create a logical System Map, assigning device numbers to TV controllers so they fall into logical zones. The device mapping could be sorted by type or location; whichever suits the application.
Typical RF and ICC-Net Signal Flow The diagram below shows the structure of a typical Contemporary Research media retrieval system. One of the key aspects for iCC-Net communication is to provide a forward and return (sub-channel) path for data if you’re using ICC2 2-way TV Controllers.
Make sure you minimize blockage of any vent slots in the process hood. • Drill pilot holes (#36 0.106” or 7/64 0.109”), between 6 ¾ to 6 9/16 apart • Attach TV Controller using the two #6 self-tapping screws (included) Contemporary Research Corporation ICC/ICW Smart TV Controller...
