Product Information:

The MTX100B MPEG-2 Recorder and Player offers a flexible, affordable solution for design evaluation and conformance testing of digital video products using MPEG-2 technology.  The MTX100B records and plays out MPEG-2 transport streams compliant with ATSC, DVB, and ISDB standards at the high data rates needed to verify and troubleshoot designs for high-performance video products and systems.  The large internal storage, DVD drive, and Ethernet download capability help you build and maintain a large library of test streams. 

The MTX100B offers continuous, error free transport stream looping for long duration playout, and PCR jitter insertion for stressing designs.  Users can continuously loop all sample streams, including updating of all timestamps, continuity counters, time tables (TDT, TOT, and STT), Normal Play-Time Reference, and ISDB-T Reed Solomon FEC, without fear of buffer under - or overflow. 

New Ethernet network remote control functionality enables control of functions such as Play, Record, Clock Rate, and Jitter insertion using the SCPI (Standard Control for Programmable Instruments) command set.

The MTX100B can play any transport stream files, including custom transport streams created with off line multiplexers in the Tektronix MPEG Analysis Tools. In addition, the MTX100B can play data files in other formats, including elementary streams and files in DSS format.

Applications:

Development
For the development of instruments that process digital television signals, the MTX100B is a powerful signal source for parametric stress tests and evaluation. Streams can be repeatedly played out into development systems and equipment without timing discontinuities, simulating transmissions easily and consistently.

Manufacturing
The ability to repeatedly playout a range of transport streams directly into equipment in a manufacturing environment is crucial when checking quality and conformance. The user interface makes control of MTX100B intuitive and simple, and remote control interfaces provide the flexibility of remote and automated control.

Integration
The MTX100B can be used as a broadcast simulator when installing and debugging transmission chains by using test streams and recording transmissions. The user's control over the source material removes a major element of uncertainty when installing systems and equipment. This speeds up the installation and debugging process, and helps ensure a better end result. The large number of physical and electrical transport stream interfaces that Tektronix supports means that interfacing to other pieces of equipment in the transmission chain is easy.

Transmission
For error analysis of Transport Streams, the MTX100B provides continuous recording that can be controlled by external trigger signals from the Tektronix MTM400 Transport Stream monitoring tool. Digital TV broadcasters and Network operators can analyze captured streams in depth using Industry leading Tektronix Analysis Tools.

A scheduler application enables the MTX100B to be used as a simple content scenario server for transport stream based transmissions.  The extendable storage allows users to tailor the amount of storage they require

Portable MPEG Analysis

The addition of the MTS400 MPEG analysis toolset to the MTX100B platform provides the broadest, deepest MPEG tool set on a highly portable platform.  Ideally suited to in field installation, commissioning and debug of complex MPEG transmission systems the analysis options offered with the MTX100B provide both real time and offline transport stream analysis capability with ASI, SMPTE310M, and IP interface options.  Additional options provide offline multiplexing, PES and buffer analysis, elementary stream analysis, and data broadcast analysis and generation.

 
Ordering Information
When ordering Option 05, please consider the following guidelines:
  • When considering the purchase of Option 5 (Firewire), the MTX100B's Option 5 interoperability with the target device should be verified prior to order placement
  • Interoperability of Option 5 (Firewire) with a given model of a manufacturer's product does not guarantee interoperability with other models from the same manufacturer
  • Interoperability of Option 5 (Firewire) with a given model of a manufacturer's product does not guarantee interoperability with that same model employing new software or firmware
