FTG Mode of Operation

FTG Mode Overview

FTG Mode enables Pro:Idiom⁜decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels. This section describes how to configure the TV’s CPU for FTG Mode operation.

Use one of the following processes to configure the CPU with FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings:

Configure an individual LD330H/LD333H TV via its USB port using an FMA Configuration (.fma) file on a USB memory device. The “Teach to TV (FMA)” process, along with associated procedures, is described on pages 30 to 33.

Configure all LD330H/LD333H TVs at the site using a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example: PCS150R). Load an FMA Configuration (.fma) file on the Pro:Centric server using the TV E-Z Installation “Configuration” option in the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client. 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 configuration changes must be made in the FTG Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration Utilities enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings as necessary.

If it becomes necessary to reset the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable you to do so. Refer to Reference section, “Resetting a TV to Pass-through Mode,” for further information.

Pages 34 to 37 provide overviews of the FTG Channel Map, FTG Installer Menu, and FMA Configuration Utilities that comprise the FTG Configuration Application. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG Configuration Application manual for further information on the FTG Configuration Application.

Note: The LD330H/LD333H cannot be configured for FTG Mode if an external MPI device has been implemented as a means of controlling the TV.

TV, press MENU on the Installer Remote. The menu display alternates based on the operating mode. See examples at right.
