Overview
This guide describes how to configure and use iControl Solo for controlling and monitoring devices required in the broadcast signal path for interfacing, routing and distribution. iControl Solo is designed and produced by Grass Valley.
iControl Solo is a stand-alone, PC-based control application which offers affordable control directly from a desktop or laptop that has Windows 7™. It provides easy list-based control and configuration of up to 100 Densité Series and/or Imaging Series modules. Operators are provided with quick access to devices and parameters for fast and easy control. More advanced control requirements demanding simultaneous, multi-device monitoring and error logging, and a customized, highly graphical user interface, can be met with the iControl Application Server. A USB-to-RS-422 adapter (IC-USB) used to connect Imaging Series housing frames is sold separately.
In brief, iControl Solo offers the following key features and benefits:
• an iControl Solo window with different sorting options, similar to iControl Navigator,
• drivers for most Grass Valley Densité and Imaging devices,
• the ability to interface up to 100 devices,
• easy problem resolution using status indicators,
• ideal for set and forget operations.
• [OPTIONAL] a loudness logging and analysis service (IC-LOUDNESS-LOG-1-SOLO loudness logging option for one device to be installed on iControl Solo)
