Professional television designed as part of the guest experience.

Guests should not have to think about how the television is configured. They simply switch it on and find a clear interface, the required TV channels, hotel information and available multimedia services.

For hotel staff, the situation is the opposite: a fleet of dozens or hundreds of televisions must remain controlled and predictable.

Professional hotel TVs make it possible to define available functions, set volume limits, create channel lists, restrict access to settings and external interfaces, specify the startup mode and standardize television configuration across every room.

The result is a simple device for the guest and a manageable television infrastructure for the hotel.

A modern hotel television system extends far beyond traditional broadcasting.

The television can become a personalized information point in the room: greeting the guest, presenting hotel services, restaurant and spa information, conference facilities and other amenities, while providing access to television and multimedia content.

The interface can reflect the identity of a particular hotel, while information can be updated centrally without changing it separately on every television.

PMS integration allows the system to work with room and stay information, creating a personalized television experience for each guest.

The way guests consume content has changed as well.

Guests arrive with smartphones, tablets, personal subscriptions and familiar digital services. Modern hotel television must therefore support not only traditional TV channels, but also the guest’s own content.

Technologies such as Google Cast and AirPlay allow content to be sent from a personal device to the in-room television, while OTT services broaden access to modern multimedia. These capabilities are now an integral part of professional hotel television.

The larger the hotel, the more important centralized management of the television infrastructure becomes.

Instead of working with each television separately, a professional system makes it possible to manage configurations, content and selected TV functions from one central environment.

Televisions can be organized into groups by room category, floor or other criteria. Different settings and information can then be assigned to different parts of the hotel while the entire system remains under unified control.

LG Pro:Centric is one of the professional platforms used to build modern hotel television systems.

Pro:Centric combines professional LG televisions with centralized management to create a unified information and multimedia environment throughout the hotel.

Depending on the configuration, the system can provide centralized TV management, information content creation and updates, interface personalization, PMS integration, television and IP source support, OTT services and other digital functions.

The Pro:Centric architecture supports solutions of different scales — from basic centralized control to a comprehensive interactive system for large hotel properties.

Consumer and professional televisions may look almost identical. The essential difference is not the enclosure or screen resolution, but the operating environment and the role of the device.

A professional television is designed for intensive use in a hotel, where users change constantly and the device configuration must remain controlled.

Hotel models provide dedicated operating modes, centralized setup, access control for functions and interfaces, integration with professional management systems and a longer product lifecycle.

A professional hotel television should therefore be viewed not as an upgraded consumer TV, but as a specialized element of the hotel’s technology infrastructure.

Good hotel television is almost invisible.

For the guest, it should be simple: switch on the television, find the required information, watch a channel or personal content, and use familiar digital services.

Behind that simplicity is a professional infrastructure of televisions, data networks, management systems, content sources, software platforms and integrations with other hotel systems.

That is why modern hotel television is no longer just a television in a room. It is part of the hotel service.
