FTG Mode Features
FTG Mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical channel tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.
• Logical channel tuning of IP streams.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF, Aux input, or IP delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
• TV Zoning (including channel restrictions by Zone) and Wi-Fi Zoning options for location-specic
conguration.
LG’s Cloud Conguration Tool enables you to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le, which may be used to
congure the CPU for FTG Mode. Conguration utilities enable you to create/edit an FTG Channel Map
and congure Installer Menu settings. You can also create a Clone (.tlx) le from a Master TV Setup that
may be used to congure the CPU for FTG Mode.
Note: TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features are supported via “.tlx” le. See Reference section, “Using the
TV’s Zoning Features,” for further information.
In this mode, the TV’s CPU must be congured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings
using one of the following processes:
• Local: Congure an individual EV960H TV via its USB port using a USB memory device / “.tlx” le. The
le may be either a Clone le (see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 43 to 49) or an FTG Conguration le
(see “Cloud Conguration Tool Overview” on pages 50 to 55).
• Remote: Congure all EV960H TVs at the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS200S). Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.
While the TV is in FTG Mode:
• Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu
items will be read-only.
• Any FTG Mode conguration changes must be made using a “.tlx” le (typically edited in the Cloud
Conguration Tool). Channel Map and Installer Menu conguration utilities enable you to make changes,
respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary. See information
on local conguration in this document or refer to documentation for the server for information on remote
management.
• If it becomes necessary to restore the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable
you to do so. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.
Pages 50 to 55 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the Cloud Conguration Tool. Refer to
the Cloud Conguration Tool User Guide for further information on the Cloud Conguration Tool.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a Clone/Conguration (.tlx) file loaded
on the Pro:Centric Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further
information.
