Overview The ICC2-ATSC HDTV Tuner is an integrated HDTV tuner/controller that networks HD display monitors and projectors in an iC-Net and SignStream display control system. As a universal TV tuner, the ICC2-ATSC can receive ATSC, NTSC, and clear QAM cable channels from an MATV antenna or CATV cable RF system. The tuner displays broadcasts through simultaneous HDMI, RGB/Component, and NTSC composite video or connections. Full-time audio is available from digital 5.

Front Panel Setup To Enter a Front Panel Programming Mode: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press and hold the Power button, then press the Volume Up button Release all buttons, the ICC2-ATSC will now be in the front-panel programming mode. The Air LED will flash, indicating programming mode. The first two digits show the mode, the second show the option. Changes are saved in non-volatile memory as they are entered. The Volume up/down buttons scroll through programming modes, forward and reverse.
HD2-RC IR Remote The HD2-RC IR Remote included with the ICC2-ATSC can be used to setup the tuner and for daily operation. All of the functions on the remote have equivalent commands in RS-232, Ethernet, and Wired IR formats. In addition, the ICC2-ATSC front panel buttons can perform Power, Channel, and Volume control. Power Turns tuner on and off. Discrete on and off IR commands are available as well. Volume Control Use the Vol+, Vol- and Mute buttons.

IC-Net Control Protocol Overview RS-232 control for up to 4000 TV Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The ICE-HE Ethernet Head End and ICC-HE Head End manage iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC1 (1-way) and ICC2 (2-Way) TV Controllers. Each TV Controller is assigned a unique device number from 1 to 4000 to which control commands are addressed. The devices are organized into 16 zones of 255 devices.
IC-Net Commands Control Commands Command Power Power Off Description P0 “$A5,,,2,’P0’ ” (6 bytes) Power On P1 “$A5,,,2,’P1’ ” (6 bytes) Power Toggle PT “$A5,,,2,’PT’ ” (6 bytes) Volume VL “$A5,,,3,’VL’,” (7 bytes) Sets TV volume level 0 = Mute 1 – 63 = Minimum level (1) to maximum volume (63) RS-232 Control T0 “$A5,,,3,’T0’ ” (7 bytes) – Sets RS-232 control codes Tuning Format “$A5,,,3,’S0’,” (7 bytes) S0= 0=CATV 1=Off
HD2-RC Remote Emulation You can also emulate IR commands sent from the CR HD2-RC Wireless Remote. If you are using the numeric keys to select a channel, the user or program will need to follow the numeric command with an Enter. .
Rack Mounting Two options are available for rack-mounting tuners. RK1-HD • • Insert ICC2-ATSC into RK1-HD frame. Use screws included with kit to attach tuner to the side flanges.
iC-Net Zones, Units and Device Addresses In the front-panel setup instructions, you set the Unit # (1-255), then the Zone # (1-15). This refers to the iC-Net address structure that includes device number 256 – 4095 that is divided up into 15 Zones. To simplify controlling groups of devices, iC-Net is divide,d into 15 zones of 255 devices, called SmartZones. All the devices within each zone can be controlled simultaneously by sending a command to a single virtual device number.
System Map 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 physical zones useful to the client. 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.
