STB-3000 Cabling Connections
This section describes how to connect the STB-3000 to establish communication with a compatible
commercial display panel (LG Hospitality TV, LG Public Display TV, LG Commercial Monitor, or commercial
non-LG TV with MTI support).
Before You Begin
• If you are connecting the STB to an LG display panel, the display panel should be in a known state.
That is, the display panel should be either in a factory default state or custom configured (in its default
mode) with selected settings, for example, the aspect ratio, that you wish to use in conjunction with the
STB.
• If you are connecting the STB to a commercial non-LG display panel, the display panel also must be
in a known state; however, note that you may need to perform initial steps to configure the display (i.e.,
the TV) and/or its MTI port for MTI communication. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for further
information.
• If you are connecting the STB to a commercial non-LG display panel, it is also recommended that you
set the display’s start/Power On channel to HDMI1 since the STB will output video/audio to HMDI1. This
will eliminate the potential for momentary signal interruption when the STB is first turned ON since the
STB default configuration automatically sends Television/Display Control commands to switch the
connected display panel to its HDMI1 input.
• An LG Installer Remote (not supplied) is required to complete the procedure below, as well as STB/
display
panel configuration procedures in this document. If you are connecting the STB to an LG display
panel, the LG remote provided with the display should be sufficient. However, if you are connecting the
STB to a non-LG display panel or if you wish to take advantage of the STB’s multi-code feature, LG’s
STB-dedicated Installer Remote will be required. See Reference sections, “Installer Remote Typical Key
Functions” and “STB Installer Remote,” for further information.
Connect the STB to the Display Panel
The following procedure only describes the essential STB/display panel connections. See Reference
section, “STB-3000 Jack Panels,” for further information on the additional jack panel ports and connectors.
1. Turn ON the display panel.
2. Refer to the STB-3000 Cabling diagram on page 9, and complete the following connections:
a) Make the appropriate Television/Display Control connection between the STB-3000 and the display
panel. *
• For LG Hospitality TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect MPI/MTI TELEVISION
CONTROL on the STB-3000 front jack panel to the MPI port on the rear jack panel of the display.
• For LG Public Display TVs or LG Commercial Monitors: Use the TLM cable provided to connect
RS-232C TELEVISION CONTROL on the STB-3000 rear jack panel to the DB9 RS-232 CONTROL
connector on the rear jack panel of the display.
• For commercial non-LG TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect MPI/MTI TELEVISION
CONTROL on the STB-3000 front jack panel to the MTI (typically labeled “DATA”) port on the rear
jack panel of the display.

On early STB-3000 models, the RS-232C TELEVISION CONTROL jack is labeled “DISPLAY CONTROL 1” and the
MPI/MTI TELEVISION CONTROL port is labeled “DISPLAY CONTROL 2.”
