HCS1410 Free To Guest (FTG) Card Overview
Purpose
• To provide commercial TV/STB’s with a way to map
Logical channel numbers to Physical or Virtual
channels.
• To provide the forensic marking for Pro:Idiom
encrypted programs. This enables Pro:Idiom
decryption in the TV/STB.
• To provide an easy means to set the date and time
of the TV/STB.
The goal is to set up a TV/STB with the desired
Installer Menu settings before inserting a blank
HCS1410. When the blank card is inserted, the
Installer Menu settings are copied into the card. The
HCS1410 can then be configured with the desired
FTG Channel Map. If multiple TV/STBs of the same
model are to be configured with FTG Cards, this con-
figured card may be removed and inserted into an
identical TV/STB, which will then be ready for opera-
tion.
Compatibility
The HCS1410 is compatible with the following
products:
• 20LH1DC1/26LH1DC1/32LH1DC1
• 26LH1DC3/26LH1DC4
• 32LC5DC/37LC5DC/42LC5DC
• 32LX5DC
• 42PX7DC
• 42PX8DC
• HCS5610
• HCS5650
• L20V54S
• L26W56
• L26W58
• LST4100A (V1.06.000 or greater only)
• LST4600A (V1.01.000 or greater only)
• LST4600W
• LST6600A
The LST5600A PTC V1.00.001 needs to be upgraded
to a later version to be fully compatible.
For products that were not listed, the Configuration
Application will only be able to make changes to a
limited number of Installer Menu items. It is recom-
mended that Installer Menu items be set on the
TV/STB using the IR remote control. These products
will, however, be able to accept the channel map and
the date and time from the Configuration
Application.
Specifications
• 141 Channel entries.
• Maximum Logical Channel Number = 4095*
*Software limits this to 1000 to enhance
performance
HCS1410 FTG Card Limitations
The HCS1410 does not take the place of a clone box
where the setup learned from a master TV/STB can
be replicated into other TV/STBs. The HCS1410, how-
ever, can replicate some items but not all.
Items That Can Be Replicated
• Installer Menu settings initially learned when a
factory-fresh card is inserted into a TV/STB.
• Installer Menu settings that were written by the
FTG Configuration Application.
• Channel lineup written by the FTG Configuration
Application.
• Aux labels if initially learned from the TV/STB that
has been set up with the labels. (Aux labels are
not transferred between the PC and the FTG card,
therefore they cannot be saved in the configura-
tion file.)
Items That Cannot Be Replicated (Refer to TV/STB
Manual)
• Settings from the TV/STB’s Main Menu.
