ICC-P Philips Smart Display Controller |
] |
The ICC-P Philips Smart Display Controllers communicate over the same RF coax that
carries the CATV channels. Taking advantage of Smart TV technology,,
the ICC-P controllers connect to the Display's Smart Express port. Through this connection,
the units use the TV's onboard IR sensor, character generator, and tuner to
deliver cost-effective network TV and media management.
All the critical information—including the list of channel presets (tuning ring), power and volume level status, and operation settings, is stored the the card's on non-volatile memory. As a result, operation isn't affected if the TV loses power or is replaced.
The ICC2-P Philips Smart Display Controllers feature 2-way control and feedback over the CATV cable, allowing interactive system control. For example, commands from a room's IR wireless remote can be sent to an integrated control system to operate remote media sources. Information concerning the display's current channel, power status, settings, device number, and firmware version can be monitored by the system.
The ICC1-P Philips Smart Display Controllers receive 1-way commands, providing a cost-effective solution for systems that simply want to manage power, change channels, lockout front-panel and IR control, and send text messages to TVs. The unit will also respond to setup commands from an IC-RC Wireless IR Remote.
Compatible with SignStream Media Express and Display Express software, the ICC-P controllers can be networked with up to 4000 TV and Video Display controllers. For custom systems applications, all Smart Display Controllers and other CR devices can be accessed from a single RS-232 or Telnet port on an ICE-HE Ethernet Head-End.
Applications include media distribution and control for educational television systems, theme parks, museums, government facilities, arenas, convention centers, airports and corporate video networks.
