IM-SERVER
MEDIA SERVER/PLAYER INTEGRATION MODULE
The IM-Server is an interface module for media
servers and players and slides into the card cage on
an IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver.
It provides Ethernet based control, metadata such
as artist and song title, information to keypads that
have a visual display, and line level audio inputs for
single or multi-stream media servers/players. Source
components are controlled with both an IR flasher
output and CAT 5 Ethernet connections. The card has
cascade audio outputs and IR pass-through to allow
expansion to additional IntelliControl ICS Modular
