Pro:Centric Setup
Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must
be specified on the TVs to enable Pro:Centric remote management and/or the Pro:Centric application.
• Remote management (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote
management facilities for downloading splash screen image and software/firmware updates as well as
facilities for downloading a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode configuration.
• Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes,
comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric
application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric server Admin Client.
The Pro:Centric server settings can be configured using one of the methods described below.
TV in Factory Default State
When the TV is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options
for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings.
The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB configuration option that enables you to configure a
TV for FTG Mode using a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory device. The ".tlx" file
incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, including Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119
DATA CHANNEL, which are used to set up the TV's Pro:Centric feature.
Refer to "EZ-Manager Wizard" on pages 12 to 21 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.
Note: If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a Domain Name System (DNS) server at
the site, you can create a "procentric.local" DNS entry for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated
Pro:Centric IP configuration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you will
need to manually enter the Pro:Centric server IP address and port number during configuration.
TV in Pass-through Mode
If the TV is in Pass-through Mode, either:
• Set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values.
See Installer Menu information on pages 26 to 35 for further details. Also, as necessary, refer to
"Custom Master TV Setup" on pages 36 to 38 and/or cloning information on pages 39 to 44.
• Configure the appropriate Pro:Centric server settings in the IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu. You
must use this option, in particular, if you wish to configure IP settings for the Pro:Centric server. See
"Accessing the IP Environment Menu" on page 51 and "Pro:Centric Setup" on pages 55 to 57 for
further information.
Note: When the TV is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode, you can also leave Installer Menu item
119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the TV's Data Channel Auto Search feature to
set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 35 for additional information.
TV in FTG Mode
If the TV is in FTG Mode, use the FTG File Manager software to update Installer Menu items #98
Pro:Centric and #119 Data Channel (along with their affiliated fields). Then, transfer the FTG Installer
Menu settings to the TV. Refer to the FTG Mode overview on pages 7 to 8 for further information
on FTG Mode operation and configuration. Also, see note above regarding the option to use the TV's
Data Channel Auto Search feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value.
