Page 3: Overview
The ICC2-VDC Video Display Controller provides two-way control of video projectors, plasma monitors, and other displays over the iCC-Net data network. As part of a Contemporary Research media system, the ICC2-VDC can network with up 4,000 controllers, communicating simultaneously over the wired iCW-Net and RF coax iCC- Net pathways. -

2. You may use the left or right audio output for a projector with mono audio, both for a TV with stereo audio (ICC2-VDC sound is mono). 3. Set the projector to its Video Input to view on-screen setup commands from the VDC. -
Page 7: External Ir Sensor
The ICC2-VDC includes front-panel 38 KHz and 57 KHz IR sensors. An IR In jack is provided on the back for installation of an optional external IR-RXC IR Receiver. The external sensor, switchable for 38 KHz and 57 KHz sensing, can add IR coverage to the front sensors, or solve installation hurdles. Sometimes it’s hard to mount the VDC near the display and position the front-panel sensors for good IR reception. -

Page 10: Rs-232 Control Protocol
Overview RS-232 control for up to 4000 TV and Display Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The ICC-HE Head-End manages iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC2-format controllers as well as ICW-format controllers over twisted-pair Cat3/5 wiring. The ICW-HE Head-End operates on the twisted- pair network only. -

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. Contemporary Research Virtual Device 1023... -

Page 20: Mounting The Vdc
In all cases, it’s best to mount the VDC near to the display, simplifying wiring for A/V and control cables. If, for some reason, the VDC must be mounted in an equipment rack, you’ll need an optional RK1 Rack Mount Kit. Contemporary Research ICC2-VDC... -
