The IM-Server is an interface module for media
servers and players and slides into the card cage on
an IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver.
It provides Ethernet based control, metadata such
as artist and song title, information to keypads that
have a visual display, and line level audio inputs for
single or multi-stream media servers/players. Source
components are controlled with both an IR flasher
output and CAT 5 Ethernet connections. The card has
cascade audio outputs and IR pass-through to allow
expansion to additional IntelliControl ICS Modular
MultiZone Receivers in expanded systems. Additional
IM-Server cards can be used, one for each stream
output of a multi-steam media server/player.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Plug and Play Integration
The IM-SERVER module will automatically
identify itself to the IntelliFile
Software during system configuration and map all
appropriate control functions to all user interfaces.

® 3 Configuration
• Metadata
Metadata from the media server/player is
displayed on the keypad (that have displays),
touchscreens and iRemote. Metadata depends on
the Media Server's capabilities and id3 tags on
the music in the library.
• Audio Input
Line-level audio input takes the audio output of a
media server/player source and distributes it through
the IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver,
then audio is distributed through the zone matrix
when selected by a single or a group of zones.
• Cascade Audio
Left and right line-level audio outputs for use in
multiple chassis IntelliControl ICS systems and
home theater receivers.
• IR In
Accepts IR commands from corresponding
IM-AUDIO Modules in slave chassis when multiple
chassis are used in expanded systems.
• IR Out
Outputs IR commands when the media server/
player's remote is used in zones where a keypad is
using an IR Sensor.
