IconMaster Installation and Configuration Manual 1
Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The IconMaster modular master control switcher provides, in a modular format,
the ability to combine critical master control functions with multi-integrated
branding. IconMaster is based on our industry-leading NEO modular platform.
It is the only control that can be combined with other advanced applications to
create a complete, self-contained channel release system.
This manual is part of a two-part set. Hardware installation and configuration
procedures are provided in one manual, and control panel operation and
configuration procedures are provided in the other manual. This manual
provides detailed information on installing and configuring the hardware
components in your IconMaster system. A complete setup will include
• Installing the IconMaster control panel

Each of these topics is covered in the IconMaster manual set. In some cases,
