USB Cloning
An Installer can quickly set up and clone multiple TV sets at a property. These cloned TVs will all have
the same Master TV Setup: Public Display Mode Installation Menu settings, User A/V settings and
the Channel Map. This newer procedure significantly decreases the installation time that would be
necessary if the standard RS-232C method were used instead.
Introduction
(1) Overview USB Cloning Procedure
y y
Commercial TVs have the capability to support cloning internal TV data and programme information
with an external clone device called “USB Cloning”, in order to copy TV data accurately and
quickly. The clone internal functions use slightly different internal processes for the two types of
commercial TVs. However, the UI of cloning feature remains the same in both.
Regarding the demands over the current cloning feature for quicker clonin g, better portability and
etc, we would like to announce the cloning process via USB port, named as USB Cloning.
USB cloning process is divided into 2 main processes. One is writing the previously saved TV data
into the TV, and one another is reading of current TV data into USB memory card. To avoid any
confusion due to the words, it is clearly specified as “Receive from USB” and “Send to USB” in the
whole process.
