Introduction

The E6292A SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) 310M interface is serial-to-parallel converter that receives a synchronous serial SMPTE signal and converts it to a DVB-Synchronous Parallel Interface (DVB-SPI) signal. This DVB-SPI signal is then output to the DVB-SPI receiver on the MPEGscope main card via an external cable which is included with your installation kit. The SMPTE 310M interface enables you to test the connectivity of multiplexers and transmission equipment carrying ATSC-compliant transport streams.

This manual shows how to install the SMPTE 310M interface card into your MPEGscope Plus, MPEGscope Lite, MPEGscope Portable, or MPEGscope Portable Lite test system. Each step provides photographs and easy-tounderstand explanations. The manual also includes illustrations and physical specifications for the interface and connectors.

Installation kit Before beginning, ensure that your SMPTE 310M interface installation kit contains

the following items:

• SMPTE 310M Interface Installation Guide (E6292-94000)

• SMPTE 310M Interface Printed Circuit Assembly (E6292-66501)

• DVB-SPI Y-Adapter Cable (E6292-64300)

• Size 15 Torx Head Screwdriver (8710-1622)

• Antistatic Wrist Strap (9300-1408)

MPEGscope Plus (E6277C)

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

This section explains how to install the SMPTE 310M interface into the MPEGscope Plus or Lite models. Normally, you will install the interface into slot 3, the optional line interface slot. If you have a different MPEGscope PC than the one illustrated below, you can still follow the procedure described in this section, as the affected cards are installed in the same slot positions.

slot 6—video card

slot 5—PCI LAN card

slot 4—MPEGscope main card

slot 3—optional line interface slot slot 2—Real-time Analyzer card

slot 1—(empty)

Note If your MPEGscope is housed in a Kayak XU PC and you also have another

optional interface (such as the ASI & Serial ECL (DHEI) interface), you can rearrange the cards so that both the SMPTE 310M and the optional interface are installed at the same time. This alternative configuration is shown on page 9.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Step 1: Remove the cover

WA R N I N G Never remove the computer cover without first removing the power cord from the

power outlet and any connection to a telecommunications network.

Power off your PC.

Unplug the AC power cord from the

rear of the PC.

If you are connected to a

telecommunications network, disconnect the network cable.

If you are connected to a system

under test, disconnect the line interface cable(s).

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Grasp the cover on the sides at the back

of the computer and slide it forwards and off the computer.

Flip the two latches on the front sides

of the computer cover upwards.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Step 2: Remove optional interface

Complete this step if your MPEGscope already has an optional interface installed and you want to replace it with the SMPTE 310M interface. For an alternative card configuration, refer to page 9.

IMPORTANT:

Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the

instructions on the envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground.

Back of computer with connectors and faceplates

Lay the computer on

its side so that you can access the cards from the top.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

If your optional line interface is connected to the

MPEGscope main card with a cable, disconnect the other end of the cable from the MPEGscope main card and remove the cable.

If your optional line interface is connected to the

MPEGscope main card with a cable, disconnect the cable from the optional interface card.

Remove the faceplate screw from slot 3

with the screwdriver provided, then remove the optional line interface.

If your MPEGscope has a Real-time Analyzer, disconnect

the ribbon cable from the Real-time Analyzer card. The cable runs from the MPEGscope main card to the Realtime Analyzer card.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Step 3: Install SMPTE interface

IMPORTANT:

Install the SMPTE 310M interface card into slot 3 and screw the

faceplate to the PC chassis. (If this is the first interface installed into slot 3, you will have to remove the blank faceplate first.)

Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the instructions on the

envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground.

If your MPEGscope has a Real-time Analyzer,

reconnect the ribbon cable from the MPEGscope main card to the Real-time Analyzer card.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Alternative configuration

Remove the cards from slots 2, 3 and 4, disconnecting cables as necessary.

Attach the IAB ribbon cable to

the MPEGscope main card then install the card into slot 3.

This configuration applies only if your MPEGscope is housed in a Kayak XU PC (e.g., E6277B or E6277C). It enables you to have both the SMPTE 310M interface and another optional line interface (e.g., the ASI & Serial ECL (DHEI) interface) installed at the same time. The configuration requires repositioning all MPEGscope cards into the first four slots, and replaces Steps 2 and 3 on pages 6 to 8. Follow all other steps as usual.

Install the SMPTE 310M

interface card into slot 4.

Connect the IAB ribbon cable from

the MPEGscope main card to the optional line interface (e.g., the ASI & Serial ECL (DHEI) interface).

Remove the blank faceplate

and install the Real-time Analyzer card into slot 1.

Install the optional line

interface (e.g., the ASI & Serial ECL (DHEI) interface) into slot 2.

Connect the ribbon cable from

the MPEGscope main card to the Real-time Analyzer card.

MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite

Step 4: Replace the cover

Slide the cover onto the computer, making sure

that the two guides at the bottom of the case slide into the two rails at the base of the computer. Firmly slide the cover backwards into position.

Ensure that the two latches on the front

sides of the cover are lifted up.

Lower the two latches on the front

sides of the cover into place.

Reconnect your mouse, keyboard,

display, power cables, and LAN connection, then power on your MPEGscope.
