The Interactive Controller Series provides an intelligent, 2-way network for control of televisions and tuners. There are four items required for true TV control. Every system requires one CR iC Head-end interface. Each iC-HE supports up to 1,000 device controllers. Various combinations of device controllers and tuner models may be bussed together on iC-Net.
Every system requires at least one CR device controller or CR tuner.
The device controllers are typically located on the devices to be controlled while the different tuner models may vary in location. Integration with a remote control system or other platform capable of RS-232 data stream interface is an acceptable alternative.
