Using The Tv Zoning Feature - LG Pro Centric 32LP645H Commercial Mode Setup Manual

Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature
This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the LP645H model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized configurations for TVs in selected locations, or "Zones," within the
installation environment. This feature is primarily intended for use when the TV is configured for FTG Mode
via CPU operation. However, selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu profile
Zone assignments) may also be used with TV cloning processes using a USB memory device / .tlx file.
Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the TV Zoning feature and how to set the
TV Zone # in a TV that is currently in Pass-through Mode.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Configuration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that contains multiple Zone
assignments. Zones can be designated for multiple Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profiles. Zone
restrictions can also be assigned to individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you
may create an FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profile to be downloaded to a TV in a hotel lobby
and also restrict the channels that are available on that TV.
On location, you must set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a select area, so that the TVs are configured
with corresponding FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu settings and/or can omit channels that
have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map (see "Set the TV Zone # in the TV" on the following page
for further information). TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
The following subsections briefly describe how to assign Zone designations in the FTG File Manager.
Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.
FTG Installer Menu Profile Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to assign a Zone designation to each Installer Menu
profile to be included in an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. For example, you may wish to create one LP645H
Installer Menu profile for a hotel lobby and another LP645H Installer Menu profile for a fitness center,
both of which are different from the FTG Installer Menu profile for standard guest rooms. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to save multiple FTG Installer Menu profiles, each with its own Zone assignment, in
one FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. If each TV in the aforementioned locations has been assigned a TV Zone
# as described in the procedure on the following page or via the EZ-Manager Wizard, the TV(s) will only
download the Installer Menu profile in accordance with its(their) Zone assignment.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone designation for each Installer Menu
profile and/or TV Setup Menu profile already present in the FTG Configuration List and TV Setup Menu
List windows.
Note: See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 50. In addition, note that TV Setup
Menu profiles cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be "Learned" from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Assignments
The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager's FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility enables
you to assign Zone restrictions to individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
selected locations. In the FTG Channel Map Editor, one or more Zone restrictions (1–8) may be placed on
each channel that is to be restricted. For example, if you wish to restrict a channel from Zones 2 and 4,
select both "Zone 2" and "Zone 4" in the Zone Restriction section of the FTG Channel Map Editor screen
when defining or editing that channel.
Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one
Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 52.
