When the TV CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls and restricts the tuning
operation of the TV, and when the EBL is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls and
restricts the tuning operation of the TV. In these models, FTG Mode via CPU also provides the option to
select either logical or physical tuning (see note below) during configuration. You must determine which
element of the TV will own the FTG Channel Map before you can begin configuration.
Note:
Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning; for example, physical 19-3
can be mapped to logical channel 9. It also allows physical RF channels and Aux inputs to be listed in any
order, not only in physical numeric ascending order. Physical channel tuning requires that you include the
dash when direct entering RF channel numbers and Aux inputs (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0).
FTG Mode via CPU
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical channel tuning of physical RF
channels and Aux inputs.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
• TV Zoning (including channel restrictions by Zone)
option for location-specific configurations.
LG’s Cloud Configuration Tool enables you to create
an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, which may be used to
configure the CPU for FTG Mode. You can also create a
Clone (.tlx) file from a Master TV Setup that may be used
to configure the CPU for FTG Mode.
Note:
The TV Zoning feature is supported via “.tlx” file.
See Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,”
for further information.
In this mode, the CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel
Map and must be configured with an FTG Channel Map
and FTG Installer Menu settings using one of the following
processes:
•
Local: Configure an individual LT570H TV via its USB
port using a USB memory device / “.tlx” file. The file
may be either a Clone file (see “Clon
ing Procedures” on
pages 39 to 44) or
an FTG Configuration file (see “
Cloud
Configuration Tool
•
Remote: Configure all LT570H TVs at the site using
a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS400R). Refer to the
Pro:Centric Server Admin
Client User Guide
for further information.
FTG Mode via EBL
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical channel tuning of physical RF channels and
Aux inputs.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
LG’s FTG Device Configuration Application PC software
is required to configure the EBL. In this mode, the EBL
is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer
Menu settings using one of the following processes:
Note:
In order to create an FMA Configuration (.fma)
file for these models that can be used for remote
management of FTG Installer Menu settings, you will
need to “Read” FTG Installer Menu settings from a
Master TV. See Reference section, “FTG Mode via EBL
(Local Configuration),” for further information.
• Local:
Configure an individual LT570H TV’s EBL
via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-TV
(EBL) connection and the FTG Device Configuration
Application. See Reference section, “FTG Mode via
EBL (Local Configuration),” for information on the
“Write” process for an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings.
•
Remote: Configure all LT570H TV EBLs at the site
using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance (FMA)
head end device (Example: FMA-LG102). Refer to
the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration
Application
User Guide
and/or the Installation &
Configuration Guide for the FMA device for further
information.
