USB Cloning

An Installer can quickly set up and clone multiple TV sets at a property. These cloned TVs will all have the same Master
TV Setup: Public Display Mode Installation Menu settings, User A/V settings and the Channel Map. This newer procedure
significantly decreases the installation time that would be necessary if the standard RS-232C method were used instead.

Introduction

(1) Overview USB Cloning Procedure
y Commercial TVs have the capability to support cloning internal TV data and programme information with an
external clone device called "USB Cloning", in order to copy TV data accurately and quickly. The clone internal
functions use slightly different internal processes for the two types of commercial TVs. However, the UI of cloning
feature remains the same in both.
Regarding the demands over the current cloning feature for quicker cloning, better portability and etc, we would
like to announce the cloning process via USB port, named as USB Cloning.
USB cloning process is divided into 2 main processes. One is writing the previously saved TV data into the TV,
and one another is reading of current TV data into USB memory card. To avoid any confusion due to the words, it
is clearly specified as "Receive from USB" and "Send to USB" in the whole process.
(2) Data To Be Cloned
y The data cloned are the same data cloned by previous USB Cloning. Details are explained in the following:
1. TV data includes:
A. Installer Menu settings
B. Main menu settings (Audio, Picture etc)
2. Analog / Digital Channel information includes:
A. Channel numbers
B. Channel label
C. Channel attributes including channel type, skipping status and etc.
(3) Input Source
y The user needs a USB memory card with FAT formatted to make successive cloning via USB port. A USB memory
card size more than 128 Mega Bytes and less than 4 Giga Bytes is recommended.
NOTE
y Currently, support the preceding USB file system for FAT file format only. Other file formats including NTFS is not
currently supported. Microsoft Windows officially supports FAT for the USB memory card.
