iControl Application ServerDedicated Server for iControl Applications

Stay in control with customizable monitoring and interfaces.

The Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, iControl Application Server is the hardware at the heart of the iControl system. It provides unified control, detailed monitoring, and logging and interface services for multiple Grass Valley and third-party devices via Ethernet, RS-422 and SNMP. Fully configured for operation, no application software is required, and application web pages and control applets are auto-matically loaded. For critical applications, one or more mirror Application Servers can be used.

iControl Navigator

The iControl Application Server is supplied with device control and monitoring software called iCon-trol Navigator, which provides tree-based system navigation and error logging. This software provides a simple hierarchal view of a system with status infor-mation and individual control panel windows for all the interfaced equipment.

iControl Navigator provides effective status report-ing, and allows complete local or remote device configuration. Operators have fast access to devices and parameters when investigating errors and warn-ing conditions.

Devices can either be displayed in a physical order, by frame and slot, or by logical groups. Logical groups may be dynamically configured using drag-and-drop techniques.

For quick troubleshooting, iControl Navigator also provides extensive error and event logging, with time-stamped details of each change in signal parameter, router crosspoint or reported error. If required, the content of the event and error logs can be exported to other applications for further analysis.

Entry-level Control and Monitoring System

iControl Navigator can be used without the iControl Web software to provide a simpler, entry level device monitoring and control system. An even simpler con-trol system is provided by iControl Solo which is a reduced feature set version.

Tree-based System Navigation and Error Logging

iControl Navigator

The iControl Application Server is supplied with device control and moni-toring software called iControl Navigator, which provides tree-based sys-tem navigation and error logging. This software provides a simple hierar-chal view of a system with status information and individual control panel windows for all the interfaced equipment.

iControl Navigator provides effective status reporting, and allows com-plete local or remote device configuration. Operators have fast access to devices and parameters when investigating errors and warning conditions.

Devices can either be displayed in a physical order, by frame and slot, or by logical groups. Logical groups may be dynamically configured using drag-and-drop techniques.

For quick troubleshooting, iControl Navigator also provides extensive error and event logging, with time-stamped details of each change in signal parameter, router crosspoint or reported error. If required, the content of the event and error logs can be exported to other applications for further analysis.

Entry-level Control and Monitoring System

iControl Navigator can be used without the iControl Web software to pro-vide a simpler, entry level device monitoring and control system. An even simpler control system is provided by iControl Solo which is a reduced feature set version.
