Installation
AC Power Test
1. Insert DC power supply plug into 12 VDC jack.
2. Plug power adaptor into AC wall outlet.
3. The Net LED should turn on and stay lit.
RF Coax and iCC-Net Operation
1. Connect the TV to CATV and observe quality of RF broadcasting. A low-quality CATV system can also
affect performance of the iCC-Net commands. If needed, fix CATV problems before installing the system.
2. Connect the CATV RF Coax cable into the RF In input on the iCC1-IR.
3. If the iCC-Net signal is operating, the Net LED will blink once per second.
4. Connect the RF loop cable from the RF Out jack to the TV’s RF connector (remember, you lose less than
1.5 dbmV by going through the ICC1-IR’S internal RF tap).
TV Power Sensing
1. Insert the CC-HSD Scan Sensor plug into the Power Sensor jack.
2. Turn on the TV using the TV’s power button.
3. Move the CC-HSD sensor block around the rear of the TV to pick up scanning signal from the TV’s
horizontal transformer.
4. Watch the Power Sensor LED as you move the sensor, stop moving when the LED lights steady.
5. Turn the TV on and off from its own power button, testing if the unit is reliably sensing power.
6. Mount the sensor to the TV, using the enclosed Velcro tape.
Tip: The best location for the sensor is usually on the lower left rear corner side corner (looking from the
front), and it may help to rotate the sensor to search for best performance.
Tip:
Some applications, such as Zenith and Philips sets with discrete power on and off, do not use the
sensors
Contemporary Research 5 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller

Installation
Setting IR Control Codes (IR Type Mode)
The DIP switches S1 and S1 at the bottom of the ICC1-IR serve in two modes, IR Type, Channel Entry and Device
Number, determined by S2 Switch 6 and S2 Switch 5. In this section, you’ll set up the manufacturer’s IR codes sent
from the IR Out port. These may have been set at the factory, or you’ll need to set them yourself.
1. Apply DC power to the ICC1-IR.
2. If the unit’s device number has already been set, note the current settings for S1 switches 1-8 and S2 switches
1-4.
3. Set S2 Switch 6 to ON.
4. Look at the IR Control Code chart on next page and select the desired value.
5. Set S1 Switches 1 – 6 to match the value. For example to select the Sony codes,
turn on S1 switches 1 and 3, adding up to 5 to match the value in the Manufacturer IR chart below.
6. Set S1 Switch 7 to On if you want the unit to ignore the power sensor input
7. Set S1 Switch 8 to OFF for toggling Power On/Off command typical for most TVs. (There are a few international
TVs that use Key 1 for Power On)
8. Set S1 Switch 8 and S2 Switch 6 to OFF. (See Channel Entry option below)
9. If unit’s device number had been set before, return S1 switches 1-8 and S2 switches 1-4 to previous positions.

PC Sensor Setup: LCD marked PC Sensor (Power Current Sensor) do not have discrete IR power commands.
Instead, the ICC1-IR will wait for an “OFF” signal from a power sensor before it sends an ON IR command. We
recommend the Power Current Sensor sold by Display Devices, www.displaydevices.com for sensed
absolute power control.
If you want to set the control for unsensed toggling power, turn DIP S1, Switch 7 ON when you set the IR code
with the DIP switches. If you are using IC-Send or SignStream Media/Display Express Special Command
feature, send the command T1, with the IR code value + 64. For example, to set Olevia controllers to toggling
power, send the command T1, 102 (38+64).

Installation
Setting Device Number and Parameters (Device Mode)
In the next step, you’ll need to set up the device number and operation parameters for the ICC1-IR. Notice that
the functions of the S1 and S2 switches change when you set the unit in Device mode.
1. Make sure S2 Switch 6 is OFF (unit in Device mode).
2. Set the Device number by turning on the switches that add up to the desired device number. For
example, for Device #513 (1st device in Zone 2), S1 Switch 1 (1) and S2 Switch 2 (512) ON.
3. IR Carrier: Set S2 Switch 5 to OFF to send carrier with IR commands (default), ON to turn off carrier.
4. Power Sense Level: Set S2 Switch 7 to ON for high sensitivity for power (default), set to OFF if you
need to lower sensitivity (usually 2 adjacent TVs – side-by-side or through a wall).
5. IR Out Level: Set S2 Switch 7 to ON for high signal level (default), set to OFF if you need to lower IR
signal level to TV.
*Values in gray cells are the default settings.

Contemporary Research 9 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller
Unit Address Settings
The unique address of the controller is the combination of the values of the Zone (S2) and Unit (S1) switches. For
example, the first controller in Zone 1 would be set to Zone 1 (256) in S2 and 1 (1) on S2, or 257. To control all
the displays in Zone one, Display Express sends a command to device 256. To control just the first unit, create a
Preset addressed to 257.
Installation Process and Documentation
Most dealers will pre-configure the controller’s address before hanging displays. After setting the address, use a
label that states the unit’s address and location. Some use this method:
Room 305 - 515 - 12/2
The first identifies the location/name of the display. The second shows the specific address. The last set shows
the switches in S1/S2 that are set to ON.
It’s a good idea to define all this first in a spreadsheet, with the columns defining the name, address, S1 and S2
ON settings. Then, one person can set up all the controllers and label them.
Once the controller is configured and labeled, it’s easier for less-trained installers to Velcro the controller on the
back of the display, provide power, and hang the displays.
It’s much easier to pre-configure ahead of time than perform the task once the displays are installed.
IR Control Wiring
1. Connect the CC-IRE IR Emitter plug into the IR Out jack.
2. Mount the emitter cube to the TV case where the TV receives IR commands.
3. Mount the ICC1-IR to the TV using included Velcro tape.
4. Connect DC power to unit.

Contemporary Research 10 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller
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-Net Media Netword, 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>

Contemporary Research 11 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller
RS-232 Commands
Command Description
Power This series of commands uses the sensed power capability of the ICC1-IR.
Power Off P0 “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’P0’ ” (6 bytes)
Power On P1 “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’P1’ ” (6 bytes)
Power Toggle PT “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’PT’ ” (6 bytes)
Volume
VL “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’VL’,<vol level>” (7 bytes)
Sets TV volume level
0 = Mute
1 – 63 = Minimum level (1) to maximum volume (63)
IR Type T1 “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’T1’,<type> ” (7 bytes) – Sets IR device type
Identical to using DIP switch to set IR control codes. Specify value to match IR
code type.
Add 64 to the IR code to set the ICC1-IR to ignore the power sensor – if the type is
specified as Sensor – discrete types always ignore the sensor input.
Channel Entry T3 “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’T3’, <format>” (7 bytes) – Modifies entry format for channels
Zero (0) value uses format defined by IR Type.
Add the total value for the formats below:
128 = Add Enter after channel number (105 + Enter)
64 = Add +100 to channel number (105 = +100, 05 – use 3 digit tuning)
3 = 3 digits (Ex: 007, 032, 105 – ICC1-IR inserts leading zeros, if needed)
2 = 2 digits (Ex: 07, 32 – ICC1-IR inserts leading zero, if needed)
1 = 1 digit (Ex: 7)
Ex: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’T3’, 131” Adds Enter, uses 3 digits for channel entry
Tips on using Channel Entry:
The IR Type setting includes a channel entry format normally used by the displays
in that control group. However, sometimes a manufacturer changes the entry
format for some models. Using the Channel Entry command, you can adapt to a
different entry format without changing your system programming. For example, in
the +100 Channel Entry mode, the ICC1-IR will receive a command for Channel 122
and translate that to a +100 command, followed by 22.
Note that the IR Type command sets a pre-defined Channel Entry format. If you
change or re-send an IR Type command to the ICC1-IR (or change with DIP
switches), you’ll need to send a Channel Entry again to add the modifications.

Contemporary Research 12 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller
RS-232 Commands
Ts & Qs The ICC1-IR responds to Q-series tuning commands as well
Channel Up TU “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TU’ ” (6 bytes) – Tunes to next channel up in Tune Ring
Channel Dwn TD “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TD’ ” (6 bytes) – Tunes to next channel down in Tune Ring
T Channel Prev TP “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TP’ ” (6 bytes) – Tunes to previous channel in Tune Ring
Force Channel TC “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’TC’, <channel>” (7 bytes) – Tunes to a specific channel
124 = RGB 2 input on TV
125 = RGB input on TV
126 = Select TV’s composite A/V input
127 = Select S-Video Input
0 = Blank video output to TV
255 = Unblank TV video (restore to previous channel)
Tip: Not all TVs have S-Video and RGB inputs.
Select Channel TT “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’QT’,<channel>” (7 bytes) – Tunes channel if included in TR
Tune Ring TR “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,<ncb>,’TR’, [<chan 1>, <chan N>]” (variable bytes)
This command stores a Tune Ring, Analog channels only , a series of preset
channels accessed by channel up/down commands.
Ex1: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,6,’TR’, 5,4,8,11” sets ring to channels 5, 4, 8 and 11
Tip: The ring follows the stored order, channels do not have to be in ascending
order
Ex2: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,8,’TR’, $82,5,$87,11” sets channels 2-5 and 7-11. You can
specify a range using MSB bit for the first channel; the next byte is the last.
Control Lock LM “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,'LM',<control>” (7 bytes)
Locks power operation – only functional with display with power current sensor.
When the control is locked, the display is locked to the power state of the ICC1-IR.
For example, if the ICC1-IR power state is off, the display can’t be turned on from
the IR remote or TV front panel. The controller will sense the change from the
power sensor and turn the set off.
0 = Unlock, 128 = Lock
Tuning Style H1= “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’H1’,<style>” (7 bytes)
1 = 5-digit CableCard style tuning (1-9999)
2 = Virtual HD Major-Minor tuning (tunes to virtual channel ID in display)
3 = Physical HD Major-Minor tuning (physical channel, minor digital)
TC Response H2= “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’H2’,<response>” (7 bytes)
This pre-sets how the ICC1-IR will respond to TC tuning commands.
0= Ignore, use current settings
1= Analog Only (XX-0)
2= Digital (XX-1)
Tune HD TH
Ex:
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,5,’TH’,<H1>,<Major>,<Minor>” (9 bytes) – Digital Tuning
Normally, the H1 parameter is 0, allowing the ICC1-IR to use the current H1 tuning
format, but it could be used to force a different tuning option. When the display is
set to the H1=1 mode, the Major-Minor bytes will represent the high and low bytes
of the 5-digit number. In H1=2 or 3 modes, the bytes represent the Major and
Minor channel numbers. Values may be in hex or decimal.
“$A5,1,4,5,’TH’,1,2,3” Device 260, channel 515
“$A5,1,4,5,’TH’,2,2,3” Device 260, virtual channel 2-3
“$A5,1,4,5,’TH’,3,2,3” Device 260, physical channel 2, minor 3

Contemporary Research 13 ICC1-IR IR TV Controller
iC-Net SmartZones
To simplify controlling groups of devices, iC-Net is divided into 15 Zones of 255 devices. 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.
The ICC1-IR and ICC1-232 controllers typical for many SignStream display control systems are designed to
follow a Zone address format. You can use the 4 top switches in the second DIP switch (S2) to define the
controller’s Zone. You could stop at that point, or use the upper switches (S1) to define the controller’s address
within the Zone. For example, setting S2/1 On and S1/2 On defines that the controller is part of Zone 1 (256),
and is the second unit in the Zone (2). The unique address of the controller would be 258 (256 + 2)
Zone Device # Unit Total Device #
1 256 1-255 257-511
2 512 1-255 512-767
3 768 1-255 769-1023
4 1024 1-255 1025-1279
5 1280 1-255 1281-1535
6 1536 1-255 1537-1791
7 1792 1-255 1793-2047
8 2048 1-255 2049-2303
9 2304 1-255 2305-2559
10 2560 1-255 2561-2815
11 2816 1-255 2817-3071
12 3072 1-255 3073-3327
13 3328 1-255 3329-3583
14 3584 1-255 3585-3839
15 3840 1-255 3841-4000
All Zones 4095
Tip:While many applications can use just the Zone number, it’s a good practice to assign a unique Unit
number to each controller in the zone. This allows the system software to address individual controllers if
necessary.

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.

Safety Instructions
Read before operating equipment.
1. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
2. Power Sources - Use supplied or equivalent UL/CSA approved low voltage DC plug-in transformer.
3. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If you connect an outside antenna or cable system to the product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
4. Lightning - Avoid installation or reconfiguration of wiring during lightning activity.
5. Power Lines - Do not locate an outside antenna system near overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, refrain from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
7. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
8. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
9. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid spills or objects fall into the product.
•If the product is exposed to rain or water.
•If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions. An improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
•If the video product is dropped or the cabinet is damaged.
•When the video product exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
