The Contemporary Research ICC1-232 Display Controller provides access to power control, channel tuning, volume control, and local control lockout via RS-232, receiving iCC-Net network commands over the same broadband coax that carries the CATV channels. This compact unit is designed for use with flat panel displays that are equipped with a built-in tuner. It features discrete power control and intelligent tuning from a channel list stored in the onboard database. Tuning options include analog and HDTV format channels, as well as AV inputs.

High-speed one-way control is possible through the same RF cable that carries the TV channels, creating networked operation of distributed media systems without adding control wiring. Compatible with the Contemporary Research SignStream, iC-Web, and iC Commander software, the controller can be networked with up to 4,000 displays. For custom systems applications, this RS-232 controller and other CR display controllers can be accessed from a single RS-232 or Telnet port on an ICE-HE Ethernet Head End (available separately). It is suitable for applications that include signage and video distribution for schools, retail stores, sports venues, corporate buildings, civic facilities, places of worship, entertainment spaces, and corporate communication

Q: 2. Does the CAT cable that runs between cameras use the standard 568B wiring or does it need to be a crossover cable?

A: Standard wire is more than fine.

Q: 3. So this cable replaces the RS232 to RJ45 ADAPTER BOX ?

A: Yes, this is an RS232 to RJR45 adapter.

Q: 4. Does this have to be used with a Marshal PTZ controller? Could I use this with the PTZOptics SuperJoy to control cameras?

A: This is a universal solution from Marshall. It works best with their controllers. However, It should also work with other controller brands.

Q: 5. Will this work to connect the Marshall VS-PTC-200 to the Marshall CV-605 SDI via RS232?

A: The Marshall Electronics CV620-CABLE-06 RJ-45 to 8-Pin RS-232 & D-Sub 9 Connector Adapter Cable could be used with the Marshall Electronics VS-PTC-200 Compact PTZ Camera Controller along with an Ethernet cable to connect to the Marshall Electronics CV605 Compact 3G-SDI/IP PTZ Camera with 5x Optical Zoom.

Q: 6. Does this come with the parts to rack mount?

A: Yes, in the box is the Contemporary Research Single Rack Kit.

Q: 7. I want to use this with a projector, will a glitch be seen on the screen as I switch between PowerPoint and a video on separate laptops?

A: Hi William. There will be a slight glitch when switching sources using this switcher, as it is not a seamless switcher. It does switch quickly, but it is not seamless. Thank you! - Ocean Matrix

Q: 8. How do I connect this to the VS-PTC-200?

A: You will need to use an adapter to convert the VS-PTC-200 to Ethernet cables. Marshall Electronics CV620-CABLE-06 RJ-45 to 8-Pin RS-232 & D-Sub 9 Connector Adapter Cable B&H # MACV620CAB06 MFR # CV620-CABLE-06

Q: 9. is the extender IP based? is it able to be fed through a switch in its own VLAN? or does it have to be a direct connection on both ends?

A: My assumption is that it would need to be a direct connection. I have not tried it on a vlan. Based on the information on their site, it would need to be directly connected, as it seems to encode the signal and send it over the copper to be decoded at the other end by the receiver.

Q: 10. Does it come with an IR remote for channel up/down?

A: The Contemporary Research 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner (B&H# CO232ATSC4K) does not come with an IR remote for changing the channel, nor with a receiver for receiving the IR signal. Therefore, you will want the Contemporary Research IR-RXC External IR Receiver (B&H# COIRRXC, https://bhpho.to/3XkztiB) and the Contemporary Research HD2-RC Wireless IR Remote for Select AV and HDTV Tuners (B&H# COHD2RC, https://bhpho.to/3IHx4tz).
