5040-001 ICE-HE Ethernet Head End Controller

Contemporary Research introduces a new solution for display system control and distributed media management, the ICE-HE Ethernet Head-End. Through a single Ethernet port, the ICE-HE can network thousands of iC-Net TV controllers, communicating over the same CATV cable that carries the media channels. The industry-standard iC-Net protocol operates seamlessly over Ethernet networks, RS-232 control ports, RF coax, Cat5 wiring, and fiber optic cables. Custom control systems, and ICE ToolKit and iCE Director software can easily integrate all TVs, video projectors, and plasma displays across a facility or campus. Connects to TCP/IP Ethernet network via 10/100baseT port; Networks up to 4,000 displays through broadband CATV iCC-Net and wired iCW-Net protocol; Sends commands to individual devices, zones, or all units from a single RS-232 port;l Interacts with ABC-Net, iC4 Commander and iC ToolKit software as well as custom control systems; Includes local control buttons and I/O ports that can trigger events in PC software or control systems.
