Cloning Procedures
(Continued on next page)
Cloning typically refers to the process of using a Master TV Setup to configure a Target TV. This
section describes how to save (export) a Master TV Setup and then transfer (import) it to a Target
TV using a
USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) file.
You can also create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file using the FTG File Manager and then use the
Import Clone File procedure to transfer the configuration to Target TVs. Refer to “Creating an FTG
Configuration File” on pages
Exporting a Clone File
This section describes how to use the TV Manager “Export Clone File” option to export Master TV
Setup configuration to a USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) file.
Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• If applicable, complete the Custom Master TV Setup procedure (see pages 41 to 43).
• If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode or Application Tuning
Mode, as applicable, after the Clone file is imported, ensure the Master TV does not have an
auto-tuned/edited channel lineup; otherwise, importing the exported file will result in the Target
TV(s) being configured for FTG Mode.
• If you intend to use the TV’s Zoning feature(s), make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone
# and/or Wi-Fi Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the TV’s Zoning Features,”
BEFORE performing the procedure below. Also, for Wi-Fi Zoning in particular, the TV’s wireless
network connection settings should be configured in the IP Environment Menu before exporting
is initiated.
• It is not possible to clone a Master TV’s clock. Either set a Target TV’s clock manually, or use
the Auto Clock setting in the TV setup menus.
Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove the USB memory device while
exporting is in progress, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or harm the
USB device, respectively.
Export Clone File Procedure
