FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions
In the
Cloud Configuration Tool / Channel Map web page,
you can place Zone restrictions on individual
channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for certain locations. One or more Zone restrictions
(1–8) may be placed on each channel that is to be restricted. For example, if you wish to restrict a channel
from Zones 2 and 4, select both “Zone 2” and “Zone 4” in the
Restricted from Zones field when defining or
editing that channel.
Note:
While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one
Zone. See also the Channel Map web page overview on page 60.
At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may
opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you can
choose to configure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu settings. For
example, an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file being used to configure the TVs at a site may contain multiple
Installer
Menu and Setup Menu profiles with different Zone
assignments, as well as an FTG Channel Map
with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each TV that still has the default TV Zone 0 setting will
only
be
configured by the Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other
hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will first look in the file for the LT572M Installer Menu and/or Setup
Menu profile(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LT572M Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profiles
has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LT572M profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. For
the FTG Channel Map configuration, when the TV Zone # is set to 0, the TV will ignore any Zone restrictions
(1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map. However, when the TV Zone # is set to 1,
the TV will omit any channels that have been restricted from Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration
A location-specific configuration / Clone (.tlx) file may be saved (exported) from a Master TV and then be
used to configure Target TVs. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master TV is set to 3 before the Clone file
export is initiated, the Master TV’s Installer Menu and Setup Menu profiles will be saved with the TV Zone
3 assignment. In order to configure the Target TVs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and Setup Menu profiles
exported from the Master TV, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target TVs before importing
the Clone file. See “Set the TV Zone # in the TV” below. Also, see “
Cloning Procedures” on pages 50 to 55
for additional information on the cloning processes. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
Set the TV Zone # in the TV
You can set the TV Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 14 to 21)
or, if the TV is in Pass-through Mode, via the TV’s setup menus as described below. Note that the following
procedure can only be performed while the TV is in Pass-through Mode. You will also be able to specify a
Label (North, South, East, West) and Room Number for this TV, if desired.
1. Turn ON the TV.
2. Press
MENU
on the Installer Remote, and use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight the
OPTION
menu icon. Then, press

.
3. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select
Zones & Room Number
, and then press
OK
.
4. In the Zone, Label, and Room Number pop-up window,
complete the appropriate fields as described
below. Use the Left/Right
arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the fields.
