The MTS 200 Series system computer 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). Power sources that have both current carrying conductors live with respect to ground, such as phase-to-phase or multiphase systems, are not recommended. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.

WARNING. The test system is designed for connection to an earth-grounded AC outlet. To avoid risk of electrical shock or equipment damage, do not disable the grounding plug.

Mains V oltage Range. You can power the test system computer and monitor from mains that supply between 100 VAC and 230 VAC without setting a voltage selection switch.

MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications

Getting Started

Mains Frequency . The test system computer and monitor operate on either 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequencies.

CAUTION. To prevent damage, protect the system computer from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating noninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes. In addition, it allows the system to operate temporarily during a power failure.

Power Cord Options. Unless a specific power cord option is ordered, the system computer and monitor come standard with a power cord for North American 60 Hz, 115 VAC supplies. Table 2 lists the power cord options.

Connecting the Data Store System Input and Outputs

The Data Store system is an integral part of the MTS 210 and MTS215 test systems, enabling transport stream capture and output up to 60 Mbits/s.

Figure 5 shows the Data Store System input and output (I/O) connectors on the computer rear panel. A detailed description of each connector follows the illustration. For I/O port specifications, refer to the Specifications section beginning on page 37.

Use the I/O ports that best suit your operating environment and signal sources. To receive ASI input, use the optional D6002 DVB-PI adaptor. Contact your Tektronix representative for ordering information.

ECL Parallel/Serial I/O Port

The ECL Parallel/Serial I/O port receives and transmits MPEG-2 transport streams at ECL levels. The port is differential, bidirectional, and operates independently or in conjunction with the ECL Control port. The port transmits or receives either parallel or serial data depending on the Data Store Administrator application settings.

MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications

Getting Started

ECL Operating Modes. If the ECL Parallel/Serial I/O port is used independently of the ECL Control port, there are three basic operating modes:

H Slave acquisition mode. Captures input signals using the ECL Parallel/Serial

I/O port clock signal as the timing source.

H Master generation mode. Outputs signals using the test system internal clock

as the timing source.

H Master generation with external clock mode. Outputs signals using the

external clock input (Clk In) as the timing source.

Using the ECL Parallel/Serial I/O port in conjunction with the ECL Control port provides the following additional operating modes:

H Master acquisition mode. Captures input signals using control signals from

the ECL Control port to drive the signal source.

H Master acquisition with external clock mode. Same as above, but uses a

timing signal from the external clock input (Clk In) as the timing source.

ECL Control Port

G.703 Output

(8.448 and 34.368 Mbit/s)

and G.703 Input

H Slave generation mode. Outputs signals using the ECL Control port inputs as

the timing source.

NOTE. A“Master” generates the data transmission clock. A “Slave” returns an external clock as the source.

Pinouts. For pinouts of the ECL Parallel/Serial I/O port, see Tables 8 and 9 beginning on page 43.

Using the ECL Control port is optional. This bidirectional differential control port adds flexibility to the ECL Parallel and Serial Ports, providing three control signals and two more operating modes. For a pinout of the ECL Control port, see Table 10 on page 45.

The G.703 serial interface complies with the electrical characteristics of ITU-T Recommendation G.703 (HDB3 code) for 8.448 Mbit/s and 34.368 Mbit/s.

The G.703 port operates in the following modes:

H Acquisition mode. Locks to the incoming signal and is self clocking. H Generation (internal clock source) MODE. Uses an internal clock source.

The G.703 serial interface uses three Data Store circuit-board mounted SMB connectors. One connector is a dedicated input for both bit rates. The other two

connectors are dedicated outputs, one for the 34.368 Mbit/s output and the other for the 8.443 Mbit/s output. To reduce spurious emissions, connect only the output being used.

10 Mbit Serial Port

(RS-422 Levels I/O Port)

Clock Input

The 10 Mbit Serial port transmits and receives MPEG transport signals and includes bidirectional clocks and data pairs. The maximum operating frequency is 10 Mbit/sec. The port uses RS-422 voltage levels with a line-to-line input termination of 110 W. For a pinout of the 10MBit Serial port, see Table 14 on page 47.

The 10 Mbit Serial port uses the following signals:

H Data In and Data Out (MPEG serial bit streams). H Clock In and Clock Out (continuous data transmission).

The 10 Mbit Serial port operates in the following modes: H Acquisition mode. Captures an input signal using an external timing

reference.

H Internal generation mode. Generates an output signal using the MTS 200

Series MPEG Test System internal clock as the timing reference.

H External generation mode. Generates an output signal using the Clock input

as the timing reference.

The Clk In connector provides an optional timing input for the ECL Serial, ECL Parallel, TTL, and 10 Mbit Serial outputs. The input operates at a maximum frequency of 45 MHz.

TTL 50 W Serial Port

(Data & Clock I/O)

MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications

The TTL 50 W Serial Port consists of dedicated clock and data inputs that transmit and receive at TTL levels. The Data signal is a serial bitstream that uses a continuous data transmission clock. The maximum operating frequency is 45 Mbits/s.

The

TTL 50 W Serial Port operates in the following modes:

H Acquire mode. Captures an input signal. H Internal Generation mode. Generates a signal locked to the internal clock. H External Generation mode. Generates a signal locked to an external reference

supplied by the Clock Input.

Data Store I/O Cables and

Mating Connectors

The MTS 200 Series MPEG Test System includes adapters to connect the Data Store SMB connectors to standard BNC connectors. You may also need to acquire or assemble other signal-connecting cables and adapters to install the test system in your facility.

Cable Lengths. Maximum cable length is a function of data rate, cable type, and ambient environment as summarized in Table 3. In general, low data rates tolerate long cable lengths better than high data rates. Low loss coaxial cable and low capacitance properly pair-twisted cable support longer transmission paths than do miniature coaxial cable or ribbon cable. Induced RF noise can further limit usable cable length.

The only test system ports designed for data transmission are the G.703 I/O ports. All others ports are intended for short-range interconnects. With most ports, you must control cable delay matching to maintain clock-to-data timing margins or data integrity will suffer.

75 W inputs and outputs. The other three match the impedance of the TTL 50 W Serial Port (CLK I/O, DATA I/O, and CLK IN).

NOTE. Do not leave SMB-to-BNC adapter cables on unused G.703 outputs. Doing so can cause the test system to exceed EMC emission requirements.

Connecting the Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) Input and Outputs

MTS 205 and MTS215 test systems include the Real-Time Analyzer. Figure 6 shows the Real-Time Analyzer input and output (I/O) connectors on the computer rear panel.

Parallel output can be filtered by the Real-Time Analyzer software. For complete information, refer to the MTS 200 Series Real-Time Analyzer User Manual.

MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications

Getting Started

Serial (ASI) Output. With data input through the ASI connector, the serial output is continuously active. With a parallel input, the serial output is disabled when data storage through the parallel output occurs.

The Serial output stream is always equivalent to the input stream and is not affected by selections made on the Filtering Configuration tab of the Real-Time Analyzer Settings window. Refer to Table 20 on page 50 for serial output characteristics.

Trigger Input

The trigger input accepts a TTL level (0 to +5 V) signal you can use to control capture of the Real-Time Analyzer input stream to the Data Store system (MTS 215 only). You can configure the system to start/stop data capture on either the rising edge (low to high transition) or the falling edge (high to low transition) of the trigger signal. Refer to the MTS 200 Series Real-Time Analyzer User Manual for further information.

Connecting the Synchronous Serial Interface Input and Outputs

The Option SS synchronous serial interface (SSI) converts MPEG-2 SMPTE 310M compliant synchronous serial transport streams at 19.39 and 38.78 Mbits/s to synchronous parallel ECL output compatible with the the MTS 200 Series Data Store and Real-Time Analyzer hardware. The interface also converts DVB-compatible serial data streams to parallel output. The SSI data conversion operates in both receiver and generator modes from 10 to 50 Mbits/s.

Figure 8 shows the SSI input and output connectors on the computer rear panel. A detailed description of each connector follows the illustration.

Getting Started

SSI Input

SSI Output

Parallel I/O

The SSI interface converts synchronous serial data from this input to synchronous parallel ECL output for the Data Store System or Real-Time Analyzer.

When an SSI signal is present at the SSI IN BNC connector, synchronous parallel data is output through the ECL PARALLEL I/O connector and available for input to Data Store System or Real-Time Analyzer ECL parallel inputs.

The SSI interface outputs synchronous serial data through the SSI OUT BNC connector when a synchronous serial signal is present at the SSI IN BNC connector. The SSI output bit rate is identical to the input bit rate. You must terminate this output into 75 ohms.

Synchronous parallel signals input to the Parallel I/O connector (from the Data Store System or Real-Time Analyzer ECL parallel outputs) are converted to synchronous serial data if there is no signal present at the SSI IN BNC connector. The output is available at the SSI OUT connector. The SSI output bit rate is identical to the parallel input bit rate. Synchronous parallel interface (SPI) output is ECL-level compatible.

NOTE. Use the SSI Parallel I/O connector as an ECL bidirectional interface to the Data Store System or Real-Time Analyzer.

Configuring the SSI

Circuit Board

A jumper on the SSI circuit board configures the SSI output for SMPTE 310M (800 mV is included.

Real-Time Analyzer

Use the following procedure to verify the Real-Time Analyzer basic function. To perform this procedure on an MTS 205, you need an additional test system such as an MTS 210, MTS215, or another MPEG-2 signal source.

Overview and Preparation

To check the function of the Real-Time Analyzer, use the Multiplexer application to create a transport stream file, output that file with the Data Store Administrator, and confirm that the Real-Time Analyzer shows a correct Program Allocation view of the stream.

To check a MTS 215 test system, connect the parallel Data Store output to the parallel RTA input as shown in Figure 14. Use the 25-conductor straight-through shielded cable provided with the test system (Tektronix part number 174-3799-XX). This connection allows you to generate and receive a test stream with a single instrument.

To check an MTS 205 test system you need an external test stream source, such as a Tektronix MPEG Test System MTS100, MTS 210, or MTS215, that can multiplex and generate the appropriate output stream. Connect the source machine Data Store output to the RTA input of the MTS 205 test system; then use the source machine to create and output the test stream.
