SAT>IP client – inexpensive connection

SAT>IP is a standard used for the flexible distribution of DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C signals within the network. The received signals are initially converted by a SAT>IP server into IP signals and then forwarded via LAN cable, WLAN or PLC (power line communication). The Panasonic hotel television sets with the TV>IP client function and other SAT>IP-compatible sets can then receive the signals and your guests can enjoy full TV functionality.

An expensive set-top box in every room and complex wires are not necessary with TV>IP, which offers complete TV convenience with EPG, HbbTV, videotext and USB recording without any restrictions. What’s more, Panasonic TVs support both the unicast and multicast standard, which can be used to supply any number of clients independently with the TV>IP signal.

TV>IP server and client – give and take

You can supply two television sets with TV signals without the need for separate TV signal connections. This is made possible by setting up a DVB-via-IP server television with a wireless access point and adding another television as a DVB-via-IP client, making it ideal for suites with several rooms.

TV cloning – one for all

Panasonic TVs provide a really simple option for applying the configuration of one set to others. This simply involves copying the settings onto a USB stick. Once this USB stick is connected to another Panasonic TV, it automatically adopts the settings – especially useful when installing large systems.

• Set the input signal
  Define the input signal used each time the television is switched on. This will help you to ensure that guests always receive the TV signal set by you whenever they switch on the television.
• Set the channel number
  Define the TV’s initial channel. The advantage here is that if you have your own hotel TV channel, this will always appear whenever the television is switched on.
• Set the basic volume
  You can set the volume. By doing so, the TV will always be switched on at the same volume level. It goes without saying that guests can then adjust the volume themselves.
• Set the maximum volume
  Define the maximum volume level. The sound of the television will then be no louder than the volume set by you, which means that your guests in neighbouring rooms are not disturbed by the television being too loud.
• Button lock (for the TV control panel on the side of the TV)
  Panasonic televisions can also be operated using the control panel on the side of the TV set. If you do not want to allow your guests to use all of the functions, you can switch off or restrict the use of this control panel.
• Button lock (remote control lock)
  If you do not want to allow your guests to use all of the control elements or functions, you can lock buttons on the remote control or switch off or restrict the use of certain functions, such as access to the channel search.
• Private information
  With the private information function you can choose whether your guests’ private information – such as cookies, local storage and user account data – is retained or reset when the television is switched on. For example, if a guest has used streaming services and logged themselves in, all logins will be reset each time the television is switched on so that the login is not available to subsequent guests.

• Quick start
  You can activate the standby function on the TV. This will ensure that the television remains connected to all networks and is instantly ready for use when it is switched on (with no long start-up time).
• Welcome screen
  On smaller installations with no hotel server or headends, you can welcome your guests with a fixed image – of your hotel, for example. The television will then display the selected welcome image whenever it is switched on. On larger installations, the TV generally accesses the hotel server. You can design the personal welcome screens via the headend.
• DVB-C automatic channel list update
  If the signal is received via cable, the DVB-C channel lists are automatically updated. On large hotel TV installations, the TV generally accesses the hotel server’s channel lists. In such cases, the channel lists are updated via the server.
• Hotel portal and Guestment
  On large hotel TV installations, the TV generally accesses the hotel portal’s server. In hotel mode you can define which remote control button is to be used for the application and how the hotel portal application is to be launched. Alternatively, you can of course also use Panasonic’s own hotel portal solution Guestment (see pages 12–15).
• Hotel menu PIN
  In order to prevent a guest from changing the hotel menu settings, you can assign a four-digit PIN, which must then always be entered before the menu is launched.

• Deactivate set-up and menus
  Deactivating the set-up and menus prevents the unwanted modification of TV configurations. In customised TV mode you can block or unblock access to menu settings such as set-up, network, my home screen and apps.
• Lock remote control buttons
  You can lock unwanted buttons, such as those for the menu or for selecting the signal input, so that your guest can easily find their way around the remote control. This not only simplifies the operation of the TV, but also prevents your guests from making any changes to the set-up.
• TV cloning with the aid of a USB stick for exporting/importing
  You can use a USB stick to save all settings in customised TV mode and copy them onto another television.

One remote control for several TVs

Many Panasonic TVs support four different remote control codes, making it possible to control several TVs in a room with no disruptions.

There are various ways of operating a Panasonic television via the IP network. This is a real advantage for meetings and conferences in particular, but also when it comes to taking the smart approach to integrating the TVs situated in the rooms into the system controlling the other components, such as lights, blinds, etc.

With Panasonic’s convenient solutions for hotel TV and hospitality, you can take advantage of close cooperation arrangements with renowned technology and service partners. Here, too, Panasonic is committed to offering you high quality combined with reliable future viability.
