Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature
This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the LT570H model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized congurations for TVs in selected “Zones” within the installation site,
for example, a hotel lobby, 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.
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 LT570H 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 hotel lobby 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 LT570H TV in the hotel lobby and another Installer Menu prole for the LT570H TV in the tness
center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu prole used for LT570H TVs in standard guest
rooms. The TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LT570H 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 48 and 50 for further information. Note that Setup Menu proles cannot
be created in the Cloud Conguration Tool; they must be saved (exported) from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions
In the Cloud Conguration Tool / Channel Map web page, you can place Zone restrictions on individual
channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for certain locations. 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 Restricted from Zones eld when dening or
editing that channel.
