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.

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)

MAC Address

The Transport Stream Processor card in the DTV monitor is ass igned a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address; this is also used as the unique address of the complete instrument. The MAC address is printed on labels attached to the Transport Stream Processor card and the instrument.

The MAC address i s written as six pairs of hex digits separated by hyphens, for example, 00-01-F8-A7-33-CC. The MAC address must be associated with an IP address for the instrument to be able to function within a network.

IP Address

An IP address is assigned to each DTV monitor and acts as a unique identiﬁer within a network. An IP address will be assigned by the Network A dministrator. IP addresses are written as four groups of up to three digits, with the groups separated by periods, for example, 119.183.115.11. The IP address must be associated with a MAC address for the instrument to be able to function within a network.

New DTV monitors are shipped with the IP address set to 0.0.0.0; this is because the IP address that you will use is unknown at that time. In this situation, follow the steps below to associate the proper IP address with the MAC address. (See page 17, Setting Up the Network.)

If the IP address is unknown, it must be reset to 0.0.0.0 and set up with a new IP addre

ss before the instrument can be used.

Resetting the IP Address

Reset the IP address of a DTV monitor to 0.0.0.0 (factory default) in one of the following two ways:

Method 1. If the current IP address of the instrument is known, you can reset the address using the DTV monitor user

interface.

Method 2. If the current IP address of the instrument is unknown, reset the address by clearing the nonvolatile RAM on

the Transport Stream Processor card. Clearing the RAM resets all conﬁguration data, including the IP address and the software option license (option key), to the factory defaults.

Network Naming

If a DTV monitor is to be accessed by a network name rather than the IP address, the relationship between the IP address and the network name must be set up on a DNS (domain name server) server on the network. This is not the name that is set up in the Conﬁguration screen. Contact your Network Administrator for assistance.

When the IP address has been set up, if the DTV monitor is to be accessed from a different net or subnet, the Gateway IP address and the Subnet Mask must be set up. Contact your Network Administrator for assistance. The Gateway IP address and the Subnet Mask values are set up in the Conﬁguration (toolbar) > Stream > Network Settings page. The DTV monitor must be restarted for the settings to take effect.

Network Latency

Where access to a remote DTV monitor uses several internet/intranet links of varying speeds, the initial RUI download may be initiated successfully, but occasionally the process stops. The network speed is outside of the control of Tektronix, but it may be possibl

e to change some of the local network settings to alleviate the problem. Contact Tektronix Support for assistance.

Installing Japanese Font Extensions on your PC

The ARIB speciﬁcations for the ISDB standard make use of private extensions to the standard Unicode character set [0xE000-0xF8FF]. These extensions allow you to add additional characters and nonstandard proprietary characters to an existing font, or as a system-wide default. The extension sets are provided as TrueType Extension ﬁles (*.tte). Any extension sets should be installed using the Private Character Editor, which is supplied as part of the standard Microsoft Windows operating system.

The RUI can display these private character extensions when the operating system on the PC is correctly conﬁgured. If the operating system on your PC was not conﬁgured to display private character extensions, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Control Panel on your PC and select Regional and Language Options.

2. Select the Advanced tab in the Regional and Language Options dialog box, and select Japanese from the drop-down

list as shown in the following ﬁgure.

Installation

3. Click Apply to accept the setting change. After you apply the language setting change, Windows might display a

message stating it must reboot. If this message appears, allow the PC to reboot.

4. Rename the TrueType Extension ﬁle (*.tte) ﬁle that you want to use to eudc.tte, and then copy the ﬁle to the following

directory: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.

5. Select Run from the Start menu, type eudcedit in the Run dialog box, and click OK to run the Microsoft Windows Private

Character Editor. The editor window will appear brieﬂy and then exit. This action makes the appropriate changes to the registry to register eudc.tte as the system default character extension font.

6. Launch the DTV monitor RUI on your PC.

7. Open the Font Conﬁguration page shown in the following ﬁgure by selecting Conﬁguration > Preferences > Font from

the toolbar.

Video Thumbnail Support

Before thumbnails can be viewed using the RUI, thumbnail support software must be installed on the client PC and the feature must be enabled in the RUI. If thumbnail support is not installed, a message is displayed when you attempt to view thumbnails.

The thumbnail support software for the DTV monitor is based on modiﬁed open source material. The modiﬁed code is included in the executable ﬁle, and can be copied to the client PC and inspected if required.

Perform the following steps to install the thumbnail support software:

1. Close the RUI and any instance of Internet Explorer.

2. Locate the Thumbnail Support Package on the DTV Monitor Application Firmware CD-ROM that was supplied with the

instrument (Tektronix part number 063-4136-XX). You can also download the software package from the Tektronix Web site (Tektronix part number 066-0945-XX).

3. Open the executable ﬁle (Tektronix part number 066-0945-XX). The Welcome screen of the thumbnail support installation

wizard is displayed. Click Next and follow the instructions given in the subsequent screens.

4. In the Setup Type screen, select Typical.

NOTE. To inspect the open source code that forms the thumbnail support package, select the C ustom setup type and enable

any of the thumbnail views as shown in the following ﬁgure.

MTM400A DTV Monitor Quick Start User Manual 21

Installation

Licensing

Software options on DTV monitors are enabled using an Option Key. The Option Key is an encrypted code that unlocks and enables software and hardware functions that are installed on the instrument. Each option key is unique and is generated for a speciﬁc DTV monitor using the serial number and MAC address of that monitor. An option key that is generated for one monitor w ill not work when applied to another monitor.

The serial number identiﬁes a speciﬁc DTV monitor. The MAC address identiﬁes the Transport Stream Processor board that is installed in the monitor. If there is a hardware failure and the Transport Stream Processor board is replaced, a new option key must be issued because the monitor will then have a different MAC address. The MAC address is printed on the label on the top cover of the monitor and above the network port on the rear panel.

The DTV monitor is shipped from the factory with the appropriate Option Key already applied to support all of the functions that were ordered. The Option Key is documented on the Tektronix Authorization Key Certiﬁcate that is shipped with the instrument and on the top cover label of the instrument.

NOTE. If the battery-backed RAM in your DTV monitor is reset, you must reapply the option key to reenable any of the

software options that were purchased for your monitor.

When you purchase an upgrade to add software options to your instrument, a new Option Key is supplied with the upgrade kit. You must apply the new Option Key to enable the additional functions you purchased. The original Option Key that was shipped with the instrument will still be valid. However, it will only enable the functions originally purchased with the instrument.

FlexVuPlus™ Display

The FlexVuPlus™ display enables the instrument to perform like a 4-in-1 monitor on a single incoming stream. The display allows you to select up to four concurrent views of a monitored stream and provides the ability to conﬁgure each of the four views independently. Each of the FlexVuPlus™ views is selected from views that are available under the Analysis tab.

Refer to Setting up the FlexVuPlus ™ Display for information about selecting views for the FlexVuPlus™ display. (See page 36.)

Analysis View

The Analysis view provides a single main program summary window with different context sensitive views contained within tabbed frames. This view is intended to provide the maximum amount of useful information while keeping the screen from appearing cluttered. From the Analysis view window, you can access the following views: P rograms, Tests, Tables, PID, Packets, and Interface.

Analysis - Programs View. The Programs view provides a fast overview of the transport stream contents in terms of program content, bit rate use by each program, and TR 101 290 test results.

Red, amber, and green LEDs highlight errors associated with each program, or element of a program, within the transport stream. Red LEDs indicate that there are errors occurring in the stream, amber LEDs indicate that errors have occurred but are now clear, and green LEDs indicate that no errors have been detected.

Errors that are detected at lower levels in the program stream hierarchy propagate up to the highest level. This allows you to monitor all of the programs in the stream at a high level, and then quickly go to lower levels as necessary to locate a problem.

Operation

Analysis - Tests View. The Tests view allows you to identify the tests that are indicating errors in a monitored s tream. The error log is automatically ﬁltered by the selected test, and can also be ﬁltered by the Packet Identiﬁer (PID).

In addition to the standard ﬁrst, second, and third priority tests included in the TR 101 290 standard, tests are available for Program Clock Reference (PCR) jitter and program/PID bit rate. A variability test enables you to test the changes in the bit rate of a speciﬁc PID, and there are many tests that are speciﬁc to ISDB-T and ISDB-S streams.

Also disp layed in the Tests view are the results of tests related to the DTV monitor hardware. One example is the temperature of the system card.

Applications

This section provides you with some applications that the DTV monitor can be used for and example procedures for performing basic operations. Detailed operational information can be found in the MTM400A, IPM400A, QAM400A, and RFM300 DTV Monitors Technical Reference.

You can use the instrument to monitor signals at any point in the distribution network. The following ﬁgure shows two real-life applications of the MTM400A DTV monitor.

NOTE. The MTM4UP G E option, the IP Video Gigabit Ethernet interface card, must be installed before the IP procedures

describe below can be performed. Refer to the MTM4UP Upgrade Instructions, Tektronix part number 075-0973-XX.

In this example, instrument A is monitoring the RF ingest signal at a local or national head-end. Following ingest, this

ple-program transport stream may be de-multiplexed, transcoded, and encapsulated into single-program transport

multi stream ﬂows. Instrument B is set up to monitor the IP ﬂow before it is transmitted across the network.

Procedures cited and described in this section for the DTV monitor designated as (A) include the following:

Conﬁguring an RF Interface Card

If your instrument has one of the optional RF interface c ards installed, use the following procedure to conﬁgure the RF interface card and save the settings for future use. Interface settings can be saved as Presets. Each Preset can contain a different set of interface values. In the Interface dialog box, the Preset name associated with the active set of values is displayed in bold text. The Preset can be directly modiﬁed or duplicated, modiﬁed and made active.

The following procedure uses a COFDM interface card as an example. The s ettings used should be supplied by your network planner.
