FTG Mode Overview

FTG Mode enables Pro:Idiom decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels. “Teaching” an FMA Configuration file to a LD310H TV puts the TV into FTG Mode. Once the LD310H TV is in FTG Mode:

•Users can still access the Installer Menu; however, all Installer Menu items, with the exception of item 117 FACT DEFAULT will be read-only. To return the TV to Pass-through Mode, you must set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 001 to reload factory default settings on the TV. (See “Installer Menu” section of this document for further information.)

•Any con guration updates must be made in the FTG Con guration Application. FTG Channel Map

Con guration and FTG Installer Menu Con guration Utilities enable you to update the FTG Channel Map

and FTG Installer Menu, as necessary, and the FMA Con guration Utility enables you to save the up- dates to a FMA Con guration le. The FMA Con guration le can then be transferred to the TV via a USB memory device.

This section outlines how to create an FMA Configuration file using the FTG Channel Map, FTG Installer Menu, and FMA Configuration Utilities that comprise the FTG Configuration Application. It also describes how to transfer (Teach) an FMA Configuration file to a TV using a USB device. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Configuration Application manual for further information.

Note: The LD310H cannot be put into FTG Mode in this manner if an MPI slot card or external MPI device has been implemented as a means of controlling the TV.
