Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature
This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the LT572M model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized congurations for TVs in selected “Zones” within the installation site,
for example, a lobby area, tness center, restaurant, etc. This feature is primarily intended for use when
the TV is congured for FTG Mode via CPU operation. However, selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer
Menu and Setup Menu prole Zone assignments) may also be used with TV cloning processes using a
Clone (.tlx) le.
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.
Note: Hospital Mode channel banks and Lodging TV Zoning are mutually exclusive features
of these TV models. The TV Zoning feature is only available when Hospital Mode is disabled
(i.e., Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE is set to 0). For additional information, see
Channel Banks Overview” on pages 28 to 30.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Conguration
The Cloud Conguration Tool may be used to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le that contains multiple
Installer Menu and Setup Menu proles, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones
can be designated for LT572M FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu proles. Zone restrictions can
also be placed on individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you may create an
FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu prole to specically congure a TV in the tness center and also
restrict the channels that are available to be tuned on that TV.
The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each TV in order for the TVs to be congured correctly. See
“Set the TV Zone # in the TV” on the following page, and set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a select area,
so that the TVs are congured with corresponding FTG Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu settings and/or
can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
The following subsections briey describe how to assign Zones in the Cloud Conguration Tool. Refer to
the Cloud Configuration Tool User Guide for further information.
FTG Installer Menu Prole Zone Assignments
The Cloud Conguration Tool / Installer Menu web page enables you to create multiple Installer Menu
proles for the same chassis model, each with a different Zone assignment (default = Zone 0), to be
included in an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le. For example, you may wish to create one Installer Menu prole
for the LT572M TV in the the lobby area and another Installer Menu prole for the LT572M TV in the tness
center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu prole used for LT572M TVs in standard patient
rooms. The TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LT572M FTG Installer Menu proles, each with
its own Zone assignment, in one FTG Conguration (.tlx) le. If each TV in the aforementioned locations
(Zones) has had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on the following page or
via the EZ-Manager Wizard, the TV(s) will only be congured by the Installer Menu prole that matches
its(their) Zone setting.
In the Cloud Conguration Tool / File Manager web page, you can also change the Zone assignment for
each Setup Menu prole already present in the FTG Conguration List. See the File Manager and Installer
Menu web page overviews on pages 59 and 62 for further information. Note that Setup Menu proles cannot
be created in the Cloud Conguration Tool; they must be saved (exported) from a TV.
