USB Cloning

An Installer can quickly set up and clone multiple TV sets at a property. These cloned TVs will all have the same Master TV Setup: Public Display Mode Installation Menu settings, User A/V settings, and the Channel Map. This newer procedure significantly decreases the installation time that would be necessary if the standard RS-232C method were used instead.

Introduction

1. Overview of USB Cloning Procedure

   • Commercial TVs have the capability to support cloning internal TV data and program information with an external clone device called “ USB Cloning ”, in order to copy TV data accurately and quickly. The clone internal functions use slightly different internal processes for the two types of commercial TVs. However, the UI of the cloning feature remains the same in both. Regarding the demands over the current cloning feature for quicker cloning, better portability and etc, we would like to announce the cloning process via USB port, named USB Cloning. The USB cloning process is divided into 2 main processes. One is writing the previously saved TV data into the TV, and one other is reading current TV data into the USB memory card. To avoid any confusion due to the words, it is clearly specified as “ Receive from USB ” and “ Send to USB ” in the whole process.

2. Data To Be Cloned

   • The data cloned are the same data cloned by previous USB Cloning. Details are explained in the following:

   1. TV data includes:
      A. Installer Menu settings
      B. Main menu settings (Audio, Picture, etc)

   2. Analog / Digital Channel information includes:
      A. Channel numbers
      B. Channel label
      C. Channel attributes including channel type, skipping status and etc.

3. Input Source

   • The user needs a USB memory card with FAT formatted to make successive cloning via a USB port. A USB memory card size of more than 128 Mega Bytes and less than 4 Giga Bytes is recommended.

NOTE

Currently, support the preceding USB file system for FAT file format only. Other file formats including NTFS are not currently supported. Microsoft Windows officially supports FAT for the USB memory card.

Receive From USB

   • Below explains the naming rules.TTL files.
     The supported model line will be in the name of the file but the screen size will be listed as “ xx ”. This allows TVs having the same chassis model number to use the same ‘.TTL’ file without regard to the screen size. ex) The name of the ‘.TTL’ file is ‘xxLP360H-TA00000.TLL’ for the 32/42LP360C model.

4. Use the button to select the desired *.TTL files name and press the OK button.

5. The TV is changed to Standby mode after a successful download. If the download failed, the TV will be changed to the initial installation screen.

Send To USB
