PQM300 Program QoS Monitor Service Manual
Preface
This manual contains the servicing information for the PQM300 Program QoS
Monitor. This instrument is composed of a mainframe chassis that contains the
CPU, the CPU I/O board, and PQM300 hardware PCI modules and supporting
circuitry. The CPU runs under the Window NT operating system running the
PQM300 application software.
The information included in this manual explains how to verify, service,
troubleshoot, and repair the system to the module level:
H Specifications describes functional characteristics and performance require-
ments for the PQM300 Program QoS Monitor.
H Operating Information tells you how to install and operate the instrument.
H Theory of Operation provides descriptions of the program monitor system
modules.
H Performance Verification describes how to verify the functional performance
of the PQM300 system.
H Adjustment Procedures gives the field adjustment procedures.
H Maintenance contains the following information:
H How to safely handle static sensitive modules and components
H How to remove and replace modules
H Diagnostic and Troubleshooting information and procedures
H Options provides a brief description of the available options for the program
monitor system.
H Replaceable Electrical Parts. See the Replaceable Mechanical Parts List.
H Diagrams provides a simplified interconnection block diagram.
H Replaceable Mechanical Parts List gives all module and mechanical parts
that comprise the program monitor system. Parts are identified on an indexed
illustration to make them easier to identify.
H Appendix A provides the procedure to follow in the event that the operating
system software needs to be repaired. Installing the application software and
loading the video test sequences are also explained.

Product Description
This section lists the electrical, physical, and environmental characteristics of the
PQM300 Program QoS Monitor.
NOTE. Version 2.0 of the PQM300 application software must be installed to
support the Alarm Relay board and the Local Control Flat Panel Display
options.
The program monitor is implemented on a platform that uses Microsoft’s
Windows NT operating system. Operating an a networked system, the PQM300
program monitor application is configured to begin automatically after the
power-on initialization and program loading are completed.
An optional SVGA monitor can be connected for a local display and the program
monitor can be controlled using a keyboard and a mouse.
The PQM300 program monitor provides program service quality assessments of
live Rec. 601 digital video signals. Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring
provides the following assessments and capabilities:
MPEG Defects
H Real-time MPEG defect (Discrete Cosine Transform based blockiness
artifacts) monitoring and reporting when a signal is present. The PDI level
(Picture Defect Indicator) provides immediate and continuous indication of
the video image quality.
H Fixed (manual) setting of blockiness period for a given pixel block size for
the MPEG defects measurement.
H Adaptive settings to automatically determine blockiness periods used for the
MPEG defects measurement.
H Period selection to monitor the detected blockiness period. This is a tool to
find the correct period for the fixed period setting and to monitor the
incoming video for blockiness period changes.
Frozen Frame, Repeated Frames, Loss of Service
H Video content constant (consecutive fields exactly identical)
PQM300 Program QoS Monitor Service Manual
1–1
Specifications
H Repeated frame found in a moving sequence
H Absence of a serial digital video signal
H Absence of video content on the input
Uncorrelated Noise
H Indicates the amount of white Gaussian noise in the video signal (such as
that injected by analog video circuits)
Alarm Level Monitoring
H Individual alarm settings for all measurements (including blockiness period)
H Level thresholds for amplitude of error
H Time thresholds in number of fields for duration of error condition
H Percentage thresholds for an amount of error within a defined time threshold
Remote Control and Networking
H Web Browser control and monitoring of any program monitor accessible
over a TCP/IP network. Access is through the Netscape (4.5 or higher) or the
Internet Explorer (4.0 or higher) Web browser. An applet provides a remote
user interface to make all the configuration setups and display the measure-
ment results.
H SNMP agent (Simple Network Management Protocol) and MIB (manage-
ment information base) for integration into an existing SNMP infrastructure
to monitor picture quality from a central control point
H Multi-machine networking. A networked Windows NT PC or a PQM300
program monitor with local display, keyboard, and mouse, can be used to
control and monitor all PQM300 program monitors accessible over the
network.
NOTE. A locally attached SVGA monitor, mouse, and keyboard are used for the
initial set up of the PQM300 Program QoS Monitor.
Continuous Measurements
1–2
Measurements run continuously to monitor program quality in real-time. An
operator at a central control station can control the operation of the program
monitor installed in a system network.

Specification Tables
Specifications
The tables list the specifications for the PQM300 Program QoS Monitor. All
specifications are guaranteed unless labeled typical. Typical specifications are
provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications marked
with the n symbol are checked in the Performance Verification procedures
given in this manual.
The following definitions describe the information you will find in the specification tables.
H Specification. A document or a section of a document that lists and
describes characteristics and performance requirements of equipment and
certain programming material.
H Characteristic. A property of the product.
H Description. A statement that describes a characteristic usually in limit
form. This statement is considered to be binding on the company (seller),
and can be verified by performing the appropriate portion of the Performance
Verification Procedure, or by a separate and available procedure.
H Supplemental information. Statements that explain performance require-
ments or provide performance information. These are not considered to be
statements of guaranteed performance and are not ordinarily supported by a
performance check.
Performance Conditions
The Performance requirements are valid within the environmental limits if the
instrument was adjusted at 25_ C ± 5_ C and you allowed a minimum warm-up
time of 20 minutes.
