Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature
This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the LV570H model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized con
fi
gurations for TVs in selected locations, or “Zones,” within the
installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby,
fi
tness center, restaurant, etc. This feature is primarily
intended for use when the TV is con
fi
gured for FTG Mode via CPU operation. However, selected elements
of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and Setup Menu pro
fi
le Zone assignments) may also be used with TV cloning
processes using a USB memory device / “.tlx”
fi
le.
Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the TV Zoning feature and how to set the
TV Zone # in a TV that is currently in Pass-through Mode.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Con
fi
guration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le that contains multiple
Installer Menu and Setup Menu pro
fi
les, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones
can be designated for LV570H FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu pro
fi
les. Zone restrictions can also
be placed on individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you may create an FTG
Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu pro
fi
le to speci
fi
cally con
fi
gure a TV in the hotel lobby and also restrict
the channels that are available to be tuned on that TV.
The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each TV in order for the TVs to be con
fi
gured correctly. See
“Set the TV Zone # in the TV” on the following page, and set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a select area,
so that the TVs are con
fi
gured with corresponding FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu settings and/or
can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
The following subsections brie
fl
y describe how to assign Zone designations in the FTG File Manager.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information.
FTG Installer Menu Pro
fi
le Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to change the Zone assignment (default = Zone 0) for
each Installer Menu pro
fi
le to be included in an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le. For example, you may wish
to create one LV570H Installer Menu pro
fi
le for the hotel lobby and another LV570H Installer Menu pro
fi
le
for the
fi
tness center, both of which are different from the FTG Installer Menu pro
fi
le used for standard
guest rooms. The TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LV570H FTG Installer Menu pro
fi
les,
each with its own Zone assignment, in one FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le. If each TV in the aforementioned
locations (Zones) has had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on the following
page or via the EZ-Manager Wizard, the TV(s) will only be con
fi
gured by the Installer Menu pro
fi
le that
matches its(their) Zone setting.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone assignment for each Installer Menu
pro
fi
le and/or Setup Menu pro
fi
le already present in the FTG Con
fi
guration List and Setup Menu List
windows.
Note:
See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 43. In addition, note that Setup
Menu pro
fi
les cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be saved (exported) from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions
The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Con
fi
guration Utility enables
you to place Zone restrictions on individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
selected locations. In the FTG Channel Map Editor, 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 Zone Restriction section of the FTG Channel Map Editor screen
when de
fi
ning or editing that channel.
