Pollution Degree Desc ription

A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.

Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.

Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical ofﬁce/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.

Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.

Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.

Pollution Degree

Pollution Degree 2 (as deﬁned in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.

Preface

This manual describes the MTM400A DTV (Digital Television) Monitor, ﬁrmware version 4.0, which provides a complete solution for transmission monitoring of MPEG transport streams over RF, IP, and ASI interfaces. The MTM400A uses a single transport stream processor platform packaged in a 1 RU rackmount chassis to provide monitoring of a transport stream at data rates up to 155 Mbps.

The MTM400A monitor provides extended conﬁdence monitoring, which, with the addition of software options, provides comprehensive diagnostic monitoring capabilities. The extended conﬁdence monitor provides key MPEG tests; this basic level of functionality and low cost enables widespread deployment throughout a transmission network, facilitating rapid fault isolation. The diagnostic monitoring options provide more in-depth analysis of the MPEG transport stream, including recording capability, PSI/SI/PSIP/ARIB analysis, and unique user-deﬁned template tests to ensure the right content in the right place at the right time. Deployed at key network nodes, the MTM400A monitor enables the cause of faults to be pinpointed and solved.

MTM400A Key F eatures

FlexVuPlus™ uniquely empowers operations staff with the simplest information necessary to prove that their service is delivering above their deﬁned thresholds for superior quality of service (QoS)

IPM400A DTV Monitor

The IPM400A DTV Monitor is a powerful solution for remote monitoring of IP video national and regional headends. The IPM400A simultaneously veri ﬁes both IP and TS integrity on all IP Video ﬂows (sessions) on a GbE link. It is ideal for monitoring networks which carry both Multi-Program Transport Streams (MPTS) or Single-Program Transport Streams (SPTS), at either constant bit rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR). An in-depth, real-time MPEG analysis option allows diagnostics to be performed on live payload without having to use deferred-time analysis of captured streams.

Firmware Upgrades

Updates to the M TM400A monitor ﬁ rmware are r eleased to the Tektronix Web site when software problems are ﬁxed or when new product features are introduced. (See page 73, Upgrading the Firmware Version.)

To check for ﬁrmware upgrades, go to the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com/products/video_test/mtm400_support.html).

If you have an MTM400 monitor with ﬁrmware version 2.6.1 or earlier, you must upgrade the instrument with MTM400A

re version 3.0 before upgrading to higher numbered versi ons. Instructions are included in the MTM4UP Upgrade

ﬁrmwa instructions.

The Sun Java RTE (run time environment) Version 1.6.0_18 or later must be installed on your PC for the MTM400A monitor RUI v3.1 to operate successfully. If Java is not present on the PC, an opportunity to download it is offered when the

Manual Conventions

The term "RUI" will appear throughout the MTM400A monitor product documentation. The controls of the DTV monitor are accessed using a PC connected to the same network as the instrument. Since the instrument does not have a front-panel display device, the DTV monitor display shown on the PC is referred to as the Remote User Interface (RUI).

Hardware Installation

This section provides instructions for installing a DTV monitor in an equipment rack and installing an SFP module on the optional Gigabit Ethernet interface card. The instructions for installing an optional interface card in the MTM400A are located in the MTM400A, IP M400A , QAM400A, and RFM300 DTV Monitor Technical Reference.

Central Ofﬁce Installation

CAUTION. The intra-building interfaces of this platform, including the Gigabit Ethernet interface, are suitable for connection

to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only with shielded and grounded cables at both ends. The intra-building ports or the equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant or its wiring.

A grounding and bonding strap for use in Central Ofﬁce RBOC applications is supplied as a standard accessory with each DTV monitor. The instructions for installing the grounding strap are included in the rack mounting instructions.

Rack Mounting the DTV Monitor

CAUTION. To avoid ﬁre hazard, the monitor must be installed in the rack only as speciﬁed, and proper ventilation must be

maintained. The right side rack slide must be mounted correctly so that it does not obstruct the adjacent air vent.

Installation

Efﬁcient cooling will be maintained in a rack-mounted instrument only if the air temperature at all intake air vents (inside the equipment rack) does not exceed 40 ºC.

The DTV monitor is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack: a rack-mounting kit is shipped as a standard accessory with each instrument. The chassis components of the rack slides are shipped from the factory attached to the instrument as shown in the following ﬁgure.

Perform the following steps to install the instrument in an equipment rack.

1. Install the rack-mounting brackets in a desired location in the equipment rack as shown in the following ﬁgure. You can adjust the position of the rear rack mounting to suit the depth of the rack. Approximately six inches of clearance is required between the rear panel of the instrument and any rear cabinet panel to allow for connector space and adequate air circulation.

Perform the following steps to install the grounding strap:

1. After you install the instrument in an equipment rack, pull the instrument out to the extended position on the rack slides. Depending on your installation location, it may be necessary to remove the instrument from the rack to remove the screw in the following step. (See page 7, Removing the DTV monitor from the equipment rack.)

2. Use a screwdriver with a T-15 TORX tip to remove the top, front-left handle retaining screw (6-32 x 0.375) as shown in the following ﬁgure.

MTM400A DTV Monitor Quick Start User Manual 5

Installation

CAUTION. To limit corrosion, all mating surfaces must be cleaned and treated with an antioxidant before being joined.

In an isolated bonding network (IBN), the requirements of Telcordia document TR-NWT-000295, Isolated and Mesh Bonding Networks, apply.

3. Using the screw that was removed in step 1, attach the smaller #6 ring terminal of the grounding strap to the top, front-left handle position as shown in the following ﬁgure. Torque the screw to 10 in-lbs to so that the terminal provides good ground contact.

4. If necessary, reinstall the instrument in the equipment rack. (See page 3, Rack Mounting the DTV Monitor.)
