Pro:Centric Operation (Cont.)
Pro:Centric Setup
The Pro:Centric server provides the following functionality:
• Remote management/administration (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides
remote management/administration facilities for downloading splash screens and software/firmware
updates as well as facilities for downloading FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings for TVs
that are in FTG Mode via CPU (see also “Remote Management in FTG Mode” on page 7).
The Data Channel must be set appropriately to enable Pro:Centric remote management/administration
facilities. The Data Channel can be set either in the Installer Menu (item 119 DATA CHANNEL) or in the
Pro:Centric Menu (see “Pro:Centric Setup” on page 46).
• Pro:Centric application: The application comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described
on the previous page. Pro:Centric application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric server Admin
Client.
In addition to the Data Channel, the Pro:Centric Application Mode must be set appropriately to enable
the Pro:Centric application. The Pro:Centric Application Mode can be set either in the Installer Menu
(item 098 PRO:CENTRIC) or in the Pro:Centric Menu (see “Pro:Centric Setup” on page 46).
Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric™ Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must
be specied on the TVs.
Pro:Centric Modes of Operation
There are now two modes that enable Pro:Centric operation, as described below.
FTG Mode via CPU
This mode enables Pro:Idiom decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels as
described in the introduction to this document. See pages 33 to 44 for further information on FTG Mode
operation and conguration.
Application Tuning Mode
If the TV is not in FTG Mode, but both the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode have been
set in the Installer Menu or the Pro:Centric Menu, the TV enters Application Tuning Mode. In Application
Tuning Mode, the logical channel mapping of physical channels is done in the Pro:Centric application.
Also in Application Tuning Mode, only the Function Menu is available to end users instead of the TV setup
menus (see sample display of the Function Menu under “Determining the TV Operating Mode” on page
34). Additionally, all Channel Map updates must be administered from the Pro:Centric server Admin Client;
Teach To TV options will not be available from the USB Download Menu.
Note: The Installer Menu remains editable while the TV is in Application Tuning Mode.
