Preface
This manual provides operational instructions for both the RTX100B and the RTX130B products.
The RTX100B ISDB-T RF Signal Generator converts a broadcast transport stream into an RF signal and outputs it. In
addition to the RF signal output feature, the generator records and plays MPEG-2 transport streams that are compliant with
ATSC, DVB, and ARIB standards.
The RTX130B QAM & VSB RF Signal Generator generates QAM, 8VSB, and DMB-T modulated signals that are compliant
with the DVB-C/ITU-T J.83 Annex A/B/C, and ATSC standards. In addition to the RF signal output feature, the Genera
records and plays MPEG-2 transport streams that are compliant with ATSC, D VB, and ARIB standards.
NOTE. When the instrument sends or receives a stream for a long time, the stream may be intermittent because of a
processing condition of the hard disk or the Windows XP system process.

TermsUsedinThisManual
This manual uses the following terms:
Stream: Generic term for transport streams and data streams of Non-TS format (data format other than transport
stream format).
S-TMCC (Single TMCC): Transport stream to which TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration Control)
information is inserted into the 8 bytes in its Reed-Solomon code area (16 bytes). It is defined in the ISDB-S (Integrated
Services Digital B roadcasting-Satellite) system.
M-TMCC (Multi TMCC): Transport stream to which TMCC information is inserted into the sync byte area, and has
super frame structure. It is defined in the ISDB-S system.
Broadcast transport stream: Transport stream defined in ARIB STD-B31.
RTX130B (QAM & VSB RF Signal Generator) references in the document refer to the information that is specificto
the RTX130B instrument.
RTX100B (ISDB-T RF Signal G enerator) references in the document refer to the information that is specifictothe
RTX100B instrument.
RTX100B Series references in the document refer to information that is shared between the RTX100B generator and

Installation
Before Installation
Perform the following product inspection procedure when you receive your instrument:
1. Inspect the shipping carton for external damage, which indicates possible damage to the instrument.
2. Remove the generator from the shipping carton.
3. Check that the instrument has not been damaged in transit. The exterior should not have any scratches or impact marks.
Before shipment the instrument is thoroughly inspected for mechanical defects.
NOTE. Save the shipping carton and packaging materials for instrument repackaging in case shipment becomes necessary.
Refer to the RTX100B Series Technical Reference manual for instructions on repackaging the instrument.
4. Verify that the shipping carton contains the instrument, the standard accessories, and any optional accessories that
you ordered. (See page 71, Accessories and Options.)
5. Perform the functional check procedure after installing the instrument. (See page 5, Functional Check.)
Installation
Contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative if there is a problem with your instrument or if your shipment is
incomplete.
Operating Considerations
Before you install the instrument, refer to the General Safety Summary section at the front of this manual for power source,
ing, and other safety information.

Power Cord Requirement
Verify that you are using the proper power cord for your location. (See Table 18 on page 72.) Connect the power cord
from the rear-panel power connector to the power system.
CAUTION. The instrument is shipped with a power cord appropriate for use with your power systems (normal 115 V power
system or 230 V power system). If the instrument is to be used with a power system other than that specified in the order, the
power cord must be replaced with one appropriate for the power source used.
