NOTE – Nuances to Feeding Video to Non-EVOLVE Devices
A SMARTBOX authorized and configured for EVOLVE may also be used to feed signal to non-EVOLVE devices
(e.g., TVs, treadmills, etc.) at the same property. When doing this, there are two nuances to be aware of.
1) For both QAM and IP systems, if you would like the traditional Program or “Scrolling” Guide to be displayed on
non-EVOLVE devices, you will need to configure it as a service per usual (see Chapter 12). Note, EVOLVE units
ignore the Program Guide service but continue display the interactive guide.
2) You’ll still need to create the channel map file to load into the TV (e.g., the TLX file for LG TVs) as you’ve done
for encrypted QAM/IP video systems previously. However, for QAM systems, when the SMARTBOX is authorized
for EVOLVE functionality, this changes how the QAM channels output and will impact how you should setup the
mapping file. In the SMARTBOX, you’ll still need to assign each channel with a major and minor channel (e.g.,
10-1, 10-2, 11-1, etc.) and a virtual channel (e.g., 1, 2, 15, 16, etc.). The dierence is that the SMARTBOX will now
output each service using only the major channel and virtual number. Thus, from the TV’s perspective, the virtual
channel becomes the minor channel. See Figure 34 which compares the channel mapping.
