Reference: TV Zone Restrictions

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 certain locations, for example, a hospital lobby. 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.

On location, set the Zone # in all the TVs in a select area, or “Zone,” so that the TVs can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. However, note that while a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one Zone. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #. When the TV Zone # is set to 0, the TV will ignore any Zone restrictions (1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map. However, when the TV Zone # is set to 1, during configuration, the TV will omit any channels that have been restricted from Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.

See the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 52. Also, see the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on assigning Zone restrictions.
