® This document describes how to set up LX570H Pro:Centric TVs for Commercial Mode operation. LG commercial TV functionality is based on “ownership” of the Channel Map; that is, the Channel Map resides in the TV’s CPU, Protocol Translator Card (PTC), or the embedded b-LAN™ (EBL) module, or it resides externally from the TV (i.e., in a device from the solution provider).
Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.) Installer Menu To create a Master TV Setup, you will need to know how to access the commercial controller (PTC) Installer Menu and xxLX570H PTC INSTALLER MENU make changes to the default values as required.
