1 Welcome to the R&S SMCVB-KS17 option

The R&S SMCVB-KS17 is a stream library that provides stream files for testing stan­dard-definition television (SDTV) and high-definition television (HDTV) in the systems DVB, ATSC and ISDB-T.
This user manual contains a reference description of the functionality that the stream library provides. All functions not discussed in this manual are described in the R&S SMCV100B user manual. The latest version is available at:
www.rohde-schwarz.com/manual/SMCV100B

1.1 Key features

The R&S SMCVB-KS17 stream library consists of the following signals to provide a comprehensive functional testing on the receivers:
●
●
Welcome to the R&S SMCVB-KS17 option
Installation
Moving and video test pattern signals
Audio and video synchronization signals
Transport streams with moving scenes
Moving picture scenes can be used for a basic functional test of decoders, multiplexers and terminals. For example, use moving picture scenes for testing SET-TOP boxes in final production. Due to the movement of the picture scenes, any interruption or trans­mission error in the data stream or any processing error in the decoder is immediately recognizable. Due to digital processing, the last frame that was received is always out­put in the decoder, even if there are transmission errors. The limitations imply that images are less useful in functional testing.
Monitor test pattern scenes/still test patterns
Besides checking the transmission of transport streams, it is also necessary to test the analog processing that occurs in the terminal equipment. Testing the D/A conversion in decoders and alignment of the picture in television sets generally involves the use of still images. The analog signal path for audio must also be tested and aligned.
Synchronization between video and audio
These sequences make it possible to detect a delay between picture and sound in transmission and decoding.

1.2 Installation

2 DVB transport streams

2.1 Overview

Each of the DVB transport streams consists of one video-elementary stream (MPEG2 or AVC) and two audio elementary streams (MPEG1-L2 and MPEG4 HE-AACv1 LOAS).
The file name gives information about the video information (scene or pattern), the size (SDTV or HDTV) and format (MPEG2 or AVC) of the coded video picture.

ITS 21 red area Used for PAL, SECAM or NTSC conversion in terminals (CCVS signal): In the red area, spurious amplitude and phase noise of the color subcarrier that are common for television recording equipment can especially well be detected and measured.
ITS 1 CCIR 17 Standard line for automatic measurement and monitoring of the signal. The follow­ing distortions can be measured at the single elements of the signal:
- White bar: level error, line-repetitive tilt, overshoot and roundings
- 2T pulse: amplitude error, pulse distortions and reflections
- 20T pulse: amplitude and delay differences between luminance and chrominance of the CCVS signal
- Staircase: luminance nonlinearity
ITS 15 ramp Measurement of luminance nonlinearity, interfering voltage over the whole dynamic range and quantization noise of D/A converters.
ITS CCIR18 multiburst Frequency response measurement
ITS 13 SIN X/X Frequency response and group-delay measurement
ITS 5 CCIR 330/5 Similar to ITS 1 /CCIR 17 without 20T pulse and with a 5-level staircase superim­posed by a color subcarrier. Therefore, nonlinearities in the range of color subcar­rier can be measured.
ITS 20 color bar Check of color coding and the phase and level ratios especially in the CCVS sig­nal.

Sine burst of 400 Hz with 0 dBFS for every 24th frame with a duration of 40 ms. If the "moving spot" is located on the left side (and is moving to the right), the 400 Hz burst sounds in the left channel. If the "moving spot" is located on the right side (and is mov­ing to the left), the 1 kHz burst sounds in the right channel. There is no burst for the remaining time.
