Introduction

Welcome to MPEGscope, your new digital video test solution from Hewlett-Packard. Combining real–time functionality with offline analysis of MPEG, DVB, ATSC, ISDB, and private streams, MPEGscope can speed the process of verifying and debugging digital video encoders, multiplexers, and decoders. With MPEGscope, real–time analyzing begins automatically as soon as you receive transport stream data. You can record, capture, store, play, trigger on specific errors, and analyze data in a variety of ways. MPEGscope features an intuitive, easy–to–use graphical user interface and online help system to enable you to become quickly productive.

This guide contains information about setting up and connecting MPEGscope to a system under test. It also cites technical specifications and applicable digital video standards. For information about the computer in which MPEGscope is contained, refer to the computer user’s guide shipped with MPEGscope.

Note Before you can send or receive an external trigger, you must also configure

MPEGscope software from the Recorder/Player’s Record Setup dialog, then shut down the default NT parallel port drivers and start the HP parallel port driver from the Windows

® NT Control Panel. Press the Help button from the Record

Setup dialog for instructions.

For more information on configuring MPEGscope software to send or receive an external trigger, refer to the MPEGscope online help system. Press the Tips button at the MPEGscope Launch Pad, select the Index tab, and type “triggers” to see the list of relevant topics.

Troubleshooting

This section lists some problems that may occur during initial MPEGscope setup.

Symptom Suggested Action

Getting Started

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I press the power button.

The MPEGscope application doesn’t load when I power up the machine.

MPEGscope has crashed and is displaying the blue “crash dump” screen.

When I try to reboot after getting the blue “crash dump” screen, I get a system disk error.

Ensure that all cables and power cords are firmly plugged in and that you have correctly followed the setup instructions in your PC user’s guide. If your machine still does not start, contact your Hewlett-Packard customer support representative who will advise you further. Do not attempt to reinstall or configure the

• Check that MPEGscope is one of the program folders in your Windows

system software unless your customer support representative instructs you to.

Start menu. If the MPEGscope folder is there, try to load the application by selecting the MPEGscope program name. If this works, refer to Windows

online help to add the MPEGscope folder to your Startup folder.

• If the MPEGscope folder is not there, check that the MPEGscope application files are installed on the hard

drive. If you need to reinstall the software, refer to Appendix B, “Reinstalling Software”.

• If these measures do not solve the problem, contact your Hewlett-Packard customer support

representative.

• Press the Reset button and hold down for a few seconds to make sure that MPEGscope resets.

DO NOT POWER OFF THE PC, OTHERWISE THE MASTER BOOT RECORD ON THE SYSTEM DISK MAY BECOME CORRUPTED.

You can help avoid blue screen problems by ensuring that all hard disk activity has stopped before you log in. When the login screen appears, wait until the hard disk light on the front of your PC has completely stopped flickering.

The master boot record on the system disk may be corrupt. You can repair it with the Windows

NT install

disks and emergency repair disk shipped with MPEGscope, as follows:

1 Boot MPEGscope using the Windows

screen and insert Windows

NT Setup Disk 1. Follow the prompts at the bottom of the

NT Setup Disk 2 when directed.

2When the Welcome to Setup screen is displayed, press R to start the system disk repair. After doing

this, the following menu appears:

5 The boot sector repair will take a few seconds. When the message on the screen indicates the repair is

complete, remove all diskettes from the drive and restart the system.

6 After the system restarts, run the Check Disk (chkdsk) utility to determine if any problems remain with

your system disk, as follows:

a) Launch the Disk Administrator from the Start/Programs/Administrative Tools (Common)

• Performing a System Restore B-4

Reinstalling Software

MPEGscope comes with all the software pre–installed. However, an installation disk is included in case you need to reinstall the software for any reason. This appendix explains how to reinstall software, perform a system backup, and restore your system.

Reinstalling Software

This process takes five to ten minutes.

1 If you have lost the license file backup disk shipped with your

MPEGscope, back up your permanent license file before installing software by copying the file C:\HP-Apps\FLEXlm\licence.dat to a floppy disk.

2 Insert the MPEGscope installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.

3 Launch the installation program by double-clicking on D:\Setup.exe from

the Windows

4 Follow the prompts in the installation dialogs. Accept the defaults each

time you are prompted for a choice.

5 When the installation program has finished copying MPEGscope files, the

PC will automatically shut down. Instead of resetting the PC, turn off the power with the power switch.

6 Turn the power back on and log in. When the PC reboots, firmware is

automatically downloaded to the MPEGscope main card.

IMPORTANT Occasionally a blue “crash dump” screen may occur if you log in quickly. To

avoid the problem, do not log in until the hard disk light on the front of your PC has stopped flickering and all disk activity has stopped. If a blue screen occurs, press the sure that MPEGscope resets.

7 Follow the prompts to shut down the PC once more. Use the power switch

to turn off the PC when Windows

8 Turn the power switch back on and remove the MPEGscope installation

CD from the CD-ROM drive.

Reinstalling Software

Performing a System Backup

If you have purchased the optional 12/24 GB DAT drive, you can perform a system backup as follows:

1 Start the Windows

• Click the Start button on the task bar.

• Select Programs, Administrative Tools (Common), Backup.

2 Expand the Drives window.

3 Enable the check boxes to the left of drives C: and E: to select them.

4 Click the Backup button.

5 From the Backup Information window, select Backup Local Registry, then

click OK to start the backup procedure. Progress will be displayed in a Backup Status window. During the procedure, at least one file will be skipped (a temporary file used by the backup program). The procedure takes at least six minutes to complete, and possibly longer.
