MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications
Installing the Test System
Installing the MTS 200 Series MPEG Test System involves selecting an
installation site, attaching the computer tower feet and front door, and connecting
the input and output cabling. Once you have unpacked each item, assembling the
test system requires only a few minutes.
Getting Started
Selecting a Site
Assembling the Test
System
Before assembling the test system, select an appropriate installation site. As
specified by Compaq, a good installation site includes the following features:
H Sturdy and level surface
H Adequate ventilation: at least 3.0 inches (7.6 cm) clearance at the front and
rear of the system computer, additional rear clearance required for input and
output connections
H Proper air conditioning
H Dedicated and properly grounded power circuit
H No heavy electrical equipment nearby
H Static electricity protection
Following site selection, assemble the test system as described below.
WARNING. The test system weighs in excess of 65 lb (29.5 kg). Use caution when
lifting or moving the test system.
1. Install the computer tower feet.
a. Carefully turn the computer over on its top.
b. Locate the computer feet in the shipping container.
c. For each of the four feet, insert the tabs into the mounting slots in the
computer base as shown in Figure 1.

2. Install the computer front door.
d. Insert a mounting screw through each foot into the computer base.
e. Tighten the mounting screw to secure each foot. Use a T-15 TORX tip
screwdriver.
f. Turn the computer upright onto its feet.
a. Locate the computer front door. On the right side of the door, insert the
door hinges into the hinge slots in the computer chassis. See Figure 2.

b. Align both bottom hinge pins with the pin holes in the computer chassis.
c. Lower the hinge pins into the hinge pin holes and close the door.
3. Connect the keyboard to the rear panel keyboard port. See Figure 4.
4. Connect the mouse to the rear panel mouse port. See Figure 4.
5. Connect the monitor cable to the rear panel video port on the VGA graphics
card. The graphics card occupies expansion slot 6 as shown in Figure 4. Do
not use the Compaq built in video port; the built in video port is disabled.

Getting Started
6. Verify that the Software Key is installed on the rear panel Parallel port. See
Figure 4 for port location. MTS 200 Series software applications will not run
without the Software Key installed; do not remove or misplace the Software
Key.
To use the Parallel port with the Software Key installed, attach any parallel
port cables directly to the Software Key. The Software Key does not interfere
with parallel communications.
NOTE. To run MTS 200 Series applications, you must install the Software Key on
the computer Parallel port. If you return the test system to a Tektronix Service
Center for upgrade or repair, include the Software Key.
Figure 3: Software Key
7. If you intend to connect the test system to a network, do so now. The
Proliant 1600 system computer has both AUI and RJ45 ethernet ports.
Neither ethernet port requires termination.
8. Connect the computer and monitor to a power source. Refer to Supplying
Power on page 7.
NOTE. Although the MTS 200 Series MPEG Test System is based on a standard
computer platform, do not install unauthorized expansion cards or use the test
system for purposes other than those recommended by Tektronix. Doing so can
cause your system to operate in an unexpected manner.

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

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.

MTS 200 Series MPEG Test Systems Hardware Installation and Specifications
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.

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:
10
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
