Replaceable Mechanical Parts. This section lists the replaceable mechanical

assemblies and components of the instrument.

Glossary. The Glossary contains definitions of new, uncommon, and/or unique terms used in this manual.

Throughout this manual the following typographic, symbolic, and terminology conventions apply:

Typographic Conventions

In this manual the following typographic conventions apply:

H Bold terms are found in procedures and denote interface items that you need

to select in order to cause an event to occur. For instance, to configure default directories the procedure would read as follows:

Select Directories from the Options menu.

In this example, even though the Options menu is an interface element, the Directories selection is the element that displays the needed dialog box (causes an event to occur) and is the only bold term in the step. When interface items are referred to outside of procedures, the terms are not boldface.

H Manual names, manual section names, and words that are defined in the text

are italicized.

H Specific input that you need to make is indicated in the text using

mono-spaced font. Unless otherwise stated, do not enter punctuation at the end of a mono-spaced font entry.

Product Description

This Specifications section contains a product description and lists the characteristic tables for the MTS300 MPEG Test system.

Refer to Options on page 7--1 for a list of the options you may find installed in the instrument. Refer to Replaceable Mechanical Parts on page 10--1 for a list of the standard and optional accessories available with the instrument.

Product Overview

The MTS300 MPEG Test System is a component of the Video Quality of Service (VQoS) products offered by Tektronix. The MTS300 system (see Figure 1--1) is a high-performance MPEG protocol diagnostic and analysis tool that provides you with innovative solutions to meet the challenges of designing, verifying, and characterizing products and systems using MPEG-2 technology.

The MTS300 system offers powerful acquisition and computational capabilities for analyzing designs based on MPEG, DVB, ATSC, and ISDB standards. These flexible and expandable capabilities include real-time monitoring, data rate analysis, and Tektronix-exclusive timing analysis to help diagnose the most challenging problems and characterize real-time performance.

NOTE. Refer to the MPEG-2, DVB, ATSC, and ISDB-S/ARIB standards for detailed information about the syntax and semantics of each system.

The deferred-time (off-line) analysis provided by the MTS300 system helps you fully verify compliance to standards and diagnose problems in complex transport streams. Easy-to-use transport stream capture, playout, and on-line storage lets you build extensive suites of test streams, and then use these streams to exercise your designs. Additional stream editing capability, with error and jitter injection and real--time multiplexing, gives you the ability to create and playout test sequences that fully stress and characterize design parameters.

Each test system can monitor up to two transport stream inputs simultaneously and accepts inputs in the following electrical formats:

H ASI/M2S (the test system automatically detects the format)

H SPI (LVDS parallel); available when you order the MTS3FLV upgrade

H DHEI (GI Digicipher II): available when you order the MTS3FDE upgrade

H SSI (SMPTE 310M); available when you order the MTS3FSS upgrade

Primary Applications

Key Features

The MTS300 system was designed for the following applications:

H Evaluation and verification of MPEG, DVB, ATSC and ISDB designs

Design and verification of digital-video set-top boxes (STBs)

H Stress and characterization of electrical circuits and ICs developed for

products using MPEG-2 compressed digital-video technology

The MTS300 system provides the following key features:

H Real-time monitoring and compliance testing of MPEG, DVB, ATSC and

ISDB transport streams for complete application flexibility

H Dolby Digital AC--3 compliance testing and AAC stream monitoring for

testing advanced audio capabilities

H Tektronix-exclusive PCR overall jitter, drift and offset measurements allow

you to diagnose the most challenging real--time performance problems

H Real-time analysis of transport streams used in data broadcasting applica-

tions based on ISO/IEC 13818-6 (DSM-CC) and EN 301 192 standards

H Analysis of Mega-frame Initialization Packets (MIPs), specified in the DVB

TS 101 191 standard

H Detailed off-line analysis of transport streams, program streams and

elementary streams available to fully verify design performance

H Logging of user-selected analysis events to tab-delimited text files for record

keeping and further analysis

support a variety of design configurations

H SNMP agent allows you to control the instrument from a remote location

H Private syntax table editor allows you to describe the syntax of a private

table

H Optional real-time multiplexing of elementary and transport streams

provides flexible real-time manipulation of stream content and parameters

H Optional TMCC data testing and transport stream creation for ISDB

environments

H Capture (manual and triggered), playback, and on-line storage of transport,

program and elementary streams

H Optional editing capability allows you to create custom transport streams and

inject errors or jitter to fully stress your design

H Modular architecture allows you to easily upgrade in the future

System Architecture

H Rackmount configuration kit included

H Microsoft NT operating system provides robust networking, performance

and functionality

The MTS300 system uses a client/server architecture consisting of a Server Manager, two Analysis Server pairs (each pair consists of one MPEG analysis server and one TMCC analysis server), and the following client applications: Master Client, Expert Client, Configuration Client, Stream Recorder, Stream Player, TMCC Expert Client, and TMCC Configuration Client

Combined, these client/server modules enable you to monitor multiple transport stream inputs simultaneously, perform in-depth analyses on one transport stream input, and to configure the monitoring and reporting parameters. The system is tightly integrated, making it easy to use for experts and non-experts alike.

Product Description

Server Manager. The Server Manager is the process that makes the results of the Analysis Servers and other real-time application servers available to Master Clients. The Server Manager starts automatically when you start the transport monitor. Only one Server Manager can run on a test system.

The Server Manager process interacts with the following entities:

H The Analysis Server sends analysis results (called traps)totheServer

Manager.

H The Stream Player, Stream Recorder, and optional OpenMux (MTS300,

Option OM) servers send state traps to the Server Manager. Unlike the Analysis Server traps, the traps sent by these servers is limited to

H The Master Client displays the data collected by the Server Manager.

Analysis Servers. The Analysis Server is the process that actually analyzes transport stream inputs. Each Analysis Server process consists of one MPEG Analysis Server and one TMCC Analysis Server . Each MTS300 system can support up to two Analysis Server processes of each type simultaneously.

The Analysis Server processes interact with the following entities:

H The Server Manager collects the Analysis Server results (called traps).

H The Expert Client displays the results of the MPEG Analysis Server directly.

Likewise, the TMCC Expert Client displays the results of the TMCC Analysis Server .

H The Configuration Client sets the monitoring and analysis parameters for

each MPEG Analysis Server process operating on the inputs to the MTS300 system. Likewise, the TMCC Configuration Client sets the monitoring and analysis parameters for each TMCC Analysis Server process.
