ICW

Smart TV Controllers

2-Way Cat5 Control

The ICW Smart TV Controller takes advantage of Smart TV

technology by Philips, RCA, and Zenith. Using the Smart TV

data port, Smart TV Controllers use the TV's onboard IR sen-

sor, character generator, and controlled channel access to

deliver cost-effective network TV and media management.

The ICW communicates bi-directionally over the wired ICW-

Net network, a high-speed data bus that can operate over

Category 5 or 3 wiring, fiber optic cable, video codecs, or

other long-distance data links.

Compatible with the Contemporary Research ABC Media

Retrieval System and iC Commander software, the ICW

can be networked with up to 4000 TV and Video Display

controllers. For custom systems applications, all Smart TV

Controllers and other CR devices can be accessed from a

single RS-232 port on an ICC-HE or ICW-HE Head-End

Network Controller.

Applications include media distibution and control for

educational television systems, theme parks, museums,

government facilities, arenas, convention centers, airports

and corporate video networks.
