FTG Mode
In this mode, an FTG Channel Map enables the decryption of each Pro:Idiom
®
Encrypted channel. The FTG
Channel Map also provides logical channel mapping of physical RF channels (analog and digital) and Aux
inputs. The method for creating the FTG Channel Map is ultimately determined by which element of the TV
will “own” the FTG Channel Map—the CPU or the EBL.
Note: Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning (for example, physical 19-3
can be mapped to logical channel 9). Physical channel tuning requires that you include the dash when direct
entering channel numbers.
For these TV models, there are two FTG Modes—FTG Mode via CPU and FTG Mode via EBL—which are
separate and distinct FTG Modes of operation, each with its own unique advantages and requirements, as
outlined below. When the TV CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls the tuning
operation of the TV, and when the EBL is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls the
tuning operation of the TV. In these models, FTG Mode via CPU also provides the option to choose logical
or physical tuning during configuration (refer to “Teaching Configuration to a Target TV” on pages 36 to 38
and also see note above). You must determine which element of the TV will own the FTG Channel Map
before you can begin configuration.
FTG Mode via CPU
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical tuning of physical RF channels and
Aux inputs.
• Mapping of channels with minor (program) numbers up
to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
• TV Zoning option for location-specic conguration.
LG’s FTG File Manager PC software enables you to
create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le, which may be
used to congure the CPU for FTG Mode. You can also
save (Learn) a TLX le from a Master TV. In this mode, the
CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
congured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer
Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Congure an individual LY570H TV via its USB
port using a USB memory device / TLX le. The “Teach
to TV (TLX)” process, with associated procedures, is
described on pages 35 to 38.
• Remote: Congure all LY570H TVs at the site using a
Pro:Centric server (Example: PCS150R). Load a TLX
le on the Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Instal-
lation “Conguration” option in the Pro:Centric server
Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin
Client User Guide for further information.
FTG Mode via EBL
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.
• Mapping of channels with minor (program) numbers up
to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
LG’s FTG Device Conguration Application PC software
is required to congure the EBL. In this mode, the EBL
is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
congured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer
Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Congure an individual LY570H TV’s EBL via its
TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-TV connection
and the FTG Device Conguration Application. See
Reference section, “FTG Mode via EBL (Local Cong-
uration),” for information on the “Write” process for an
FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings.
• Remote: Congure all LY570H TV EBLs at the site
using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance (FMA)
head end device (Example: FMA-LG101). Refer to
the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration
Application User Guide and/or the Installation &
Conguration Guide for the FMA device for further
information.
