Product Description

This section describes the capabilities and components of MTS 100 MPEG Test System.

Overview

The MTS 100 hardware and software makes it possible to create, generate, acquire, and analyze MPEG-2 transport streams and DVB multiplexes.
From a single program with one elementary stream to multiple programs with many video, audio, and data elementary streams, the MTS 100 can create an extensive variety of transport streams.
Elementary stream files containing both stationary test signals and motion sequences are provided on the Bit Stream CD ROM. With the MTS100 Multiplexer and Table Editor applications, you can create a variety of transport stream files that contain one or more of the provided test signals and motion sequences.
The Data Store system enables output and acquisition of transport streams at rates from 1 Mbit/s to 55 Mbit/s. Based on the standard 8 Gbytes of hard disk (18 Gbytes in instruments with serial number B060000 and later) space available, the MTS 100 can store transport stream data equivalent to over 20 minutes of acquisition or output at 55 Mbits/s. You can also use end-to-start looping to continuously (and indefinitely) acquire or output up to 8 Gbytes of transport stream data. Data Store I/O can be through a variety of hardware connections, including TTL serial, ECL parallel, ECL serial, G.703, and RS-422.
You can analyze transport stream data (acquired by the Data Store System) with the Analyzer application. The Analyzer provides a graphical view of MPEG and DVB transport stream; the graphical view gives access to each field—and each bit, if you wish, in the transport packets, PES packets, and the various PSI and SI tables.
The platform for the MTS 100 is a Windows NT workstation. The whole system arrives at your site fully configured and ready to use; it includes the Data Store System (hardware and software) and five application programs.

Applications

The five MTS 100 MPEG Test System applications are the Analyzer, the Multiplexer, the PSI and SI Table Editor, the Channel Coder, and Packet Jitter.

Product Description
Analyzer
The Analyzer displays transport stream data in several ways, including the Hierarchic view, the Interpreted view, and two types of timing display.
Hierarchic View . The hierarchic view provides a diagram of the data components carried by the transport stream. Icons are used to identify the PAT (Program Association Table), NIT (Network Information Table), PMT (Program Map Table), PES (Packetized Elementary Stream), packets, and the three types of elementary streams (video, audio, and data). Additional icons indicate the PID (Packet Identification) number for each data component.
Interpreted View. The interpreted view shows every field in the selected transport packet, table section, or PES (packetized elementary stream) packet. Any packet in the file may be accessed. Search for errors in this view.
Timing Displays. Two types of timing displays are available: PCR (Program Clock Reference) contained in the transport packet headers and PTS/DTS (Presentation/Display Time Stamp) contained in PES packet headers. The PCRs are shown in a graphical form indicating their arrival time. The graphical display of the PTS/DTS shows a time line for each access unit (such as a video frame) indicating data arrival and value of each time stamp.
Multiplexer
PSI and SI Table Editor
Channel Coder
The Multiplexer provides the means to develop a limitless variety of MPEG transport stream files, using the elementary streams provided.
Transport streams are produced by the software in non-real time, typically 10 to 100 times the play time of the resulting file. A hierarchy display, similar to the Analyzer, displays the structure of the transport stream.
Up to 20 programs, with 10 elementary streams each, may be included in one transport stream file.
Data necessary for the DVB IRD (Digital Video Broadcasting Integrated Receiver Decoder) to automatically configure itself is available in the MPEG2 Program Specific Information (PSI). Digital Video Broadcasting Specific Information (DVB-SI) adds information that enables DVB IRDs to automatically tune to a particular service and allows services to be grouped into categories with relevant schedule information.
The PSI and SI Table Editor allows the user to enter and change the data in the SI and PSI tables to fit requirements.
The European Digital Broadcasting Project (DVB) has specified a baseline system for satellite broadcasting. The Channel Coding portion of the specifica­tion has the following coding flow:

MPEG2 Transport stream file (Multiplexer) Energy Dispersal — randomizing Outer Coder RS (204, 188) — for byte error correction Interleaver — better burst error correction Inner Coder (Viterbi p/q) — bit error correction QPSK Modulator
This application provides the defined channel coding for the transport stream file and also provides the decoding to return the coded file to a standard transport stream file.
Packet Jitter
In addition to creating error-free transport streams, the MTS100 can also create transport stream files with known errors.
The Packet Jitter application allows you to create transport stream files with simulated timing errors that affect the clocks derived from the transport file. This allows you to test the robustness of decoders under various conditions.

Installation

The installation of the MTS 100 involves selecting an installation site, installing the server tower pedestal and door, and connecting all the cabling. Once all items have been unpacked, the assembly of the individual items making up the system should only require a few minutes. The shipping carton and all the inserts must be saved for use if reshipment of the MTS 100 server becomes necessary. See the repackaging instructions in Appendix F.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the MTS 100 during shipping, retain the original shipping carton. Shipping the MTS 100 in any other packaging may void the warranty.

Assembling the MTS100 System

Before you begin to assemble the MTS 100, please make sure that you have selected an appropriate location. A good site, as specified by Compaq, includes the following features:
A sturdy, level site that includes dedicated and properly grounded circuits,
air conditioning equipment, and static electricity protection A 3 inch (7.6 cm) clearance at the front and back of the computer for proper
ventilation (You will probably want additional access to the rear panel for
connecting signals.)
A separate electrical circuit for the MTS 100 A place where no heavy electrical equipment will be located near the server
Once a good site has been selected, begin assembling the MTS 100 using the procedure given below. (An illustration of the rear panel is shown in Figure 1–1.)
WARNING. Be careful lifting and moving the MTS 100 server. It is heavy.
1. Install the pedestal on the MTS 100 server.

Figure 1–1: The rear panel of the MTS 100 server
The MTS 100 server and monitor are designed to operate from a single-phase power source having one of its current-carrying conductors at or near earth ground (the neutral conductor). Systems that have both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground, such as phase-to-phase or multiphase systems, are not recommenced as power sources. A protective ground connec­tion, by way of the grounding conductor, in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
WARNING. This equipment is designed for connection to a earth-grounded AC outlet. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. To avoid risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable this feature.
The MTS 100 server (the ProLiant 2500) operates from 100 VAC to 230 VAC power mains.
The monitor operates on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC source also without having to set a voltage selection switch.

Power Cord Options
The ProLiant server and the monitor both operate on either 50 or 60 Hz line frequencies.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the MTS 100 server, you should protect the instrument from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes. In addition, it keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
The server and monitor are delivered from the factory with a 60 Hz/117 VAC power cord, unless one of the power cord options was ordered. Table 1–1 provides a description of the power cord options.

The parallel port must have the software enable key (HASP) installed to operate.
The software is enabled by a software enable key which is referred to as a HASP (see Figure 1–2). It comes installed on the parallel port and is transparent to parallel port applications, such as connection to a printer. The HASP must be in place on the ProLiant parallel port for the MTS 100 to operate. Do not lose the HASP. The software enabler (HASP) should remain with the MTS 100 at all times. If the entire instrument is returned for service, ship the HASP with the server.
CAUTION. Do not lose the HASP (software enable key). The MTS100 will not operate without it being installed on the parallel port. The software enabler key (HASP) also is required by the Tektronix Service Center if the ProLiant server is returned for repair.
