Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)
Cloning
Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master TV Setup and transferring it to a Target TV. Both TVs
must be in Pass-through Mode and both TVs must be identical models. The Master TV's clonable setup
menu options should be configured as part of the Master TV Setup. If there are features in the Master TV's
setup—channel icons or labels, digital font options, etc.—that are not set or that are set incorrectly, those
features also will not be set or will be set incorrectly in the Target TVs. Refer to pages 24 to 32 for detailed
information on cloning requirements and procedures.

External MPI Control

To control the TV using an external MPI control device, you must use the TV's GAME CONTROL/MPI port
for communication purposes. In these TVs, Installer Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS controls the power
circuitry for both the embedded b-LAN module and the GAME CONTROL/MPI port; therefore, to ensure
that the GAME CONTROL/MPI port circuitry is powered, thus enabling MPI communication, Installer Menu
item 118 POWER SAVINGS must be set appropriately. See Installer Menu item descriptions as well as
Reference section, "b-LAN Setup & Overview," for further information.

FTG Mode

®
This mode enables Pro:Idiom decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels
to remove the need for dash tuning. TV operation in FTG Mode is based on which element of the TV owns
the FTG Logical Channel Map—the CPU or the EBL. Understanding the application in which the TV will be
used is vital in determining the owner.
As indicated above, FTG mode operation in the LD660H/LD665H and LV555H models can be provided
either by the TV CPU or EBL. These are two separate and distinct FTG Modes of operation, each with
its own unique advantages and requirements as described later in this document. When the TV CPU is
configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls the operation of the TV, and when the EBL is
configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls the operation of the TV.
Once it is determined whether the TV CPU or the EBL will own the FTG Channel Map, configuration can
begin. Configuration of either requires a PC application—the LG FTG File Manager for the TV CPU or
the LG FTG Device Configuration Application for the EBL. Each application provides utilities that enable
you to create/edit an FTG Channel Map and configure Installer Menu settings. See pages 33 to 44 for
further information on FTG Mode operation and configuration.

Remote Management in FTG Mode

When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via CPU, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and
FTG Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server
Admin Client User Guide for further information.
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via EBL, the b-LAN module, which is internal to the TV, allows
hotel/institution head end equipment (for example, an FMA-LG101) with b-LAN technology to communicate
with the TV to provide remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See
Reference section, "b-LAN Setup & Overview," for further information.
