Overview
Contemporary Research offers the perfect solution for intelligent television control and interactive distributed
media management, the ICC-series Smart TV Controllers. The ICC2 2-way TV Controllers communicate bi-
directionally over the same RF coax that carries the CATV channels, while the ICC1 1-way TV Controllers can
only receive commands over RF.
ICC-series TV Controllers take advantage of Smart TV technology by Philips, RCA, and Zenith. Using the Smart
TV data port, the TV Controllers use the TV’s internal IR sensor, character generator, and tuner to deliver cost-
effective network TV and media management. The new S12 series can be update firmware via the RF coax
through the ICC Head End.
•Controls Philips, RCA, and LG/Zenith Smart TVs for cost-effective operation
oCreates on-screen channel labels, messages, interactive text menus, and system feedback
using TV’s onboard character generator
oReceives wireless commands from IC-RC IR remote using TV’s IR sensor
oDelivers absolute volume control for level and mute
oManages channel access using list of available channels (tuning ring) in controller memory
oDelivers absolute power control with on/off feedback from TV
oLow-loss internal RF tap saves amplification and installation costs
•Interacts with the Smart TV’s internal IR sensors, character generator, and tuner
•Networks with up to 4,000 TVs through the ICC-HE or ICW-HE Head-End Network Controller (HE)
oICC1 units receive commands over the same RF cable as CATV channels
oICC2 units provide 2-way command and control with feedback over RF
oICC2 transmits key commands from IC-RC remote for 2-way control applications
oExclusive SmartZone architecture controls hundreds of controllers with a single command
•Responds to individual and zone commands from a single RS-232 port on the HE
•Provides LED feedback for network, control, and operation status
•Restores all operation status after loss of power from data stored in non-volatile memory
•Mounts on the back of the Smart TV for simplified installation and ease of control

Installation
AC Power and Smart TV control
1. Insert DC power supply plug into 12 VDC jack. Newer model RCAs (since 01/2000) with 8-pin jacks power
unit through data cable.
2. Plug power adaptor into AC wall outlet, the Net LED should turn on and stay lit.
3. Connect the included Smart TV data cable from the To TV jack to the TV’s data jack (Newer RCA TVs use
an 8-pin jack, insert the 6-pin plug in the middle of the 8-pin jack).
4. The TV/COM LED will be off before inserting the cable, switches to on when communication is
established, flashes when a button is pressed on the TV or IR remote.
RF Coax and iCC-Net Operation (ICC2, ICC1)
1. Connect the CATV RF Coax cable into the RF In jack.
2. If the iCC-Net signal is operating, the Net LED will blink once per second.
3. Connect RF loop cable (included) from RF Out to TV’s RF input.
Using the IC-RC Remote for On-Screen Menus
In order to complete the setup, you’ll need the IC-RC IR Remote to use the On-Screen Menus. Typically, the
remote is shipped ready to communicate to Smart TV. Just in case, here’s how to set the IR codes in the remote:
1. Press and hold the Select button and a numeric key for the code # below.
2. Release the two keys at the same time.
3. The remote will now send the selected codes.
4. Remote will keep the codes, even if battery power is lost.

The remaining installation steps use the IR remote and the TV’s built-in character generator.
1. Touch Menu, then 999, then Enter.
2. The text CR MENU> should appear on the screen.
3. Key in one of the commands shown below, then press Enter to activate.
4. Note that, in Menu mode, the Channel Down key acts as a backspace/delete key and Channel Up
can act as an Enter.
Command Function
All The following commands are used for all units
45677 Display firmware base data (variations for LG models)
.45678 Display firmware version
45679 Display the unit’s Device #. At this point, you can use the Channel Down key as a
Delete key, enter a new device # with the remote’s numeric keypad, then hit Enter
to save the new number.
65478 Reset unit, similar to disconnecting power then restarting.
65479 Disable smart port communication. After about 5 seconds the TV will drop
communication with the TV controller and revert to stand alone TV mode. At this
point, the installer can switch to the TV Mode on the remote control, and then adjust
the TV setup parameters. To re-enable smart port, press Record on IC-RC.
65487 Initialize to factory default settings: Power on, unlocked, display channel 11, channel
ring set to 4, 5, and 11, Group 0. Note that this command works even if TV power is
off or control is locked out.
65482 Shows Net RX if receiving the iC-HE’s “heartbeat” pulse once per second, !NET RX
if not. Also displays receive signal strength in the ICC2.
ICC2 The following commands are used for the ICC2 only
65480 Enable constant Net transmit to the Head-End. This is used for measuring the signal
strength of the ICC2 unit’s RF output. Press Enter to stop transmitting, or the unit
will automatically stop after 50 seconds.
65481 Display ICC2 transmitter frequency control voltage – should be 2000 - 3150.
65483 Display DF transmitter frequency deviation – should be 245 - 300.

RS-232 Control Protocol
Overview
RS-232 control for up to 4000 TV Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The
ICC-HE Head-End manages iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC1 (1-way) and ICC2 (2-Way) TV
Controllers as well as ICW TV Controllers over twisted-pair Cat3/5 wiring. The ICW-HE Head-End operates on
the twisted-pair network only.
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. All the devices in each zone will respond to
a single “virtual device number” — one device number that represents all devices in each zone. There is also a
global device number, 4095, that will command all devices in the system. This feature dramatically speeds up
system operation and programming, because one command can affect an entire group of devices—or all. To
take advantages of this feature, review the section iC-Net Zones in this manual.
In ABC Media Retrieval Systems, we reserve the first group of devices, 1-255, for components operating on a
connected control system. Zones 1-16 are used for CR TV Controllers, Video Display Controllers and Tuners. As
it’s unlikely any system will use all 4000 devices, this may be a good device standard for your system as well.
The Remote RS-232 port on the Head-End Network Controller can communicate from 1200 to 38.4K baud. The
factory default setting is 19.2K baud, 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit.
Command String Structure
Characters in command strings are expressed in a combination of hex and ASCII characters. For clarity, the
following protocol examples use the following conventions:
•Single-byte hex numbers are preceded by the ‘$’ symbol
•ASCII characters or strings are enclosed in single quotes
•Numbers not marked as hex or ASCII are a single decimal byte
•Parameters shown in < > brackets are single byte
•A series of multiple commands or parameters are set apart by [ ] brackets
•Commas separate the bytes, but are not part of the protocol
•Double quotes enclose the command string, but are not part of the protocol
Command format:
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,<ncb>,<cmd1>,<parameter> [<cmdN>]"
$A5 Starts the command
<dh> The zone or high order byte of the device
<dl> The unit or low order byte of the device (0 for global zone)
<ncb> The number of command bytes to follow
<cmd1> The first command byte
<parameter> Command parameters (not used by all commands)
[<cmdN>] Multiple commands can be concatenated, with byte count added to <ncb>

Command Description
Tune Ring TR “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,<ncb>,’TR’, [<chan 1>, <chan N>]” (variable bytes)
This command stores a Tune Ring, a series of preset channels accessed by channel
up/down commands.
Ex1: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,6,’TR’, 5,4,8,11” sets ring to channels 5, 4, 8 and 11
Tip: The ring follows the stored order, channels do not have to be in ascending
order
x
Ex2: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TR’ ” clears the Tune Ring, locks unit to current channel
Tip: In the above mode, the IR Keypad channel up/down response to the Head-
End, so the system will know the user is trying to change channels. In
response, the system could change channels on a media sources, like a VCR
or satellite.
Ex3: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,8,’TR’, $82,5,$87,11” sets channels 2-5 and 7-11. You can
specify a range using MSB bit for the first channel; the next byte is the last.

<background>,<size and shadow>,<timeout>,<message bytes>” (variable bytes)
Clears current text, displays text message over video (normal) or blank
background. The built-in character generator can accept up to 40 characters of text
(including carriage returns), 28 characters per line. Use a hex $0D or decimal 13 in
the text as a carriage return, which will advance CG to the next line, first space on
the right.

Persistent text stays on screen until the next DM command a new Menu or channel
is selected.
Ex1: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,10,‘DM’, 2,7,0,0,1,0,’TEST’ ” displays the word TEST on the
second line, white text, inserted over video, small size with drop shadow, and
timing out after 15 seconds.
Ex2: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,‘DM’ ” clears on-screen display, also clears persistent text

Contemporary Research 12 ICC-PRZ Smart TV Controllers
RS-232 Responses
Two-way iC-Net devices will send a response over the network whenever there is there is a change in status or
command from an IR remote or front panel.
Response String Structure
Characters in response strings are expressed in a combination of hex and ASCII characters. For clarity, the
following protocol examples use the following conventions:
•ASCII characters or strings are shown enclosed in single quotes
•Numbers shown that are not in single quotes are a single decimal byte
•Parameters shown in < > brackets are single byte
•A series of multiple commands or parameters are set apart by [ ] brackets
•Commas separate the bytes, but are not part of the protocol
•Double quotes enclose the command string, but are not part of the protocol
Command format:
“ ‘<’,<dh>,<dl>,<nrb>,<rb1>, <para1> [<rbN>]"
‘>’ Starts the response
<dh> The zone or high order byte of the device
<dl> The unit or low order byte of the device (0 for global zone)
<nrb> The number of response bytes to follow
<rb1> The first response byte
<para1> Associated parameters, if any
[<rbN>] Multiple responses may be included
Response Description
New Channel T “ ‘<’,<dh>,<dl>,2,'T',<new channel>" (6 bytes)
Sends in response to T? command.
IR Function F “ ‘<’,<dh>,<dl>,2,'F',<IR Function>" (6 bytes)
Sent when unit receives a new function command is pressed (1-8) or released (0) from
the IR remote.
0 = Release
1 = Play
2 = Stop
3 = Pause
4 = Fast Forward
5 = Rewind
8 = Record

Contemporary Research 13 ICC-PRZ Smart TV Controllers
Response Description
IR Key K “ ‘<’,<dh>,<dl>,2,'K',<IR Key>" (6 bytes)
Sent when unit receives a new key command is pressed (10-116) or released (0) from
the IR remote.
0 = Release 105 = Media Menu
10 - 19 = Numeric keypad entry 0 – 9 106 = Cursor Right
21 = Enter 107 = Cursor Left
22 = Channel Up 108 = Cursor Up
23 = Channel Down 109 = Cursor Down
29 = Menu 110 = Media Select
101 = Previous Channel 116 = Timer
The 0 – 9, Channel Up/Down functions are sent only if enabled in the TM command
(Bit 2 = 1). The Channel Up/Down responses will be sent if the Tune Ring contains no
channels – see Ex2 in the Tune Ring command section.
IR Menu M “ ‘<’,<dh>,<dl>,5,'M',<msh>, <msl>, <mph>, <mpl>" (9 bytes)
Sent when unit receives a new Menu command is pressed or released (0) from the IR
remote. Menu Selection high and low bytes are in <msh> and <msl>. Menu Parameter
high and low bytes are in <mph> and <mpl>.
A Menu command is initiated by pressing the Menu key, followed by a numeric entry,
then the Enter or Channel Up key. During the Menu process, the Channel Down key
acts as a backspace or delete key.
Some selections that need only a single numeric entry and will have a parameter value
of zero (0). Those keys are 0, 8, 9, 18, 20, 30, 900, 911, and 912.
Menu selections that will prompt the user to enter a second parameter entry are:
1 = Select Media
2 = Password
3 = Chapter Search
4 = Frame Search
11 = Channel
21 = Page Zone
22 = Page Room
25 = Go
21 = Attach Zone
32 = Attach Room
Tip: The Menu entries are active even if the TV power is off.
Device
Response SP " '<',0,0,4,'SP',<number devices present>,<number devices expected> (8 bytes)
Sent in response to HE status query.
Tip: If the number of present and expected devices match, the green Net LED on the
HE will blink once per second. If the two numbers do not agree, the LED blinks
twice per second.

Contemporary Research 14 ICC-PRZ Smart TV Controllers
iC-Net SmartZones
To simplify controlling groups of devices, iC-Net is divided into 16 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.
For example, noting the zone chart below, if we send a Power On command to device #256, any TV
controller numbered between 257 and 511 will instantly turn on. If we send a Power Off command to
device #4095, all devices in the system will turn off.
This is an immensely powerful feature, because most systems can only address one device at time. So
if you need to turn off all 50 TV in a zone, you would need to send 50 commands. In addition to the
hassles of creating multiple commands, there would be a long delay between the first and last
command. One command, instant response is easier.
As we noted before, ABC Media Retrieval Systems reserve Zone 0 for devices used in the central
control system, 1 -15 for iC-Net devices. This structure may be useful for your application, or you
could use Zone 0 just like any other iC-Net zone.
Zone First Device Last Device Virtual Device
1 257 511 256
2 513 767 512
3 769 1023 768
4 1025 1279 1024
5 1281 1535 1280
6 1537 1791 1536
7 1793 2047 1792
8 2049 2303 2048
9 2305 2559 2304
10 2561 2815 2560
11 2817 3071 2816
12 3073 3327 3072

14 3585 3839 3584
15 3841 4000 3840
All Zones 4095
Tip: 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 15 ICC-PRZ Smart TV Controllers
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 logical zones. 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 if you’re using ICC2 2-way TV Controllers.
Contemporary Research 16 ICC-PRZ Smart TV Controllers

Mounting
In most cases, you’ll mount the TV Controller on the right side of the TV, towards the rear of the rear
hood.
Make sure you minimize blockage of any vent slots in the process .
•Drill pilot holes (#36 0.106” or 7/64 0.109”), between 6 ¾ to 6 9/16 apart
•Attach TV Controller using the two #6 self-tapping screws (included)
