Auto Channel Alias
Digital channels contain both a major channel number as well as a minor sub-channel number. Channel Aliasing
(Channel Number Remapping) allows a digital channel containing major and minor numbers to be remapped or aliased
to a major channel number only. As an example, the following digital channel numbers contain both Major and Minor
numberings that are remapped (Aliased) to a Major channel number. 10-7 becomes channel 10
10-8 becomes channel 11 10-22 becomes channel 12
Channel Aliasing creates ready channel tuning, eliminating the requirement to enter a minor channel number. Channel
Aliasing also provides flexibility as many local channels may appear with unusual digital channel numbers on a
hospital’s cable system. For example, a local CBS TV affiliate always appeared on channel 5. Patients may be
accustomed to locating their favorite programs and news by tuning to channel 5. However, the cable system now
places this local CBS TV affiliate on channel 17-22. Channel aliasing is used to modify the channel numbering in the
TV, allowing channel 5 to be tuned directly as channel 5, and also appearing on the TV’s screen as channel 5, as
would be expected.
Channel Labels
A custom channel label may be created that appears on screen with the displayed channel number. For example, the
aliased channel 5 is labeled as “CBS” and appears on the TV’s screen as follows: 5 CBS

setup. Once a TV is configured correctly, a clone file can be generated
to reproduce the original TV’s setup including the aliased channels on
additional televisions, greatly reducing the amount of time to program
televisions.

different.
