User manual TEKTRONIX MTX100B DATASHEET

[. . . ] A suite of DVB, ATSC, and MPEG Test streams are provided with the instrument and optional Multiplexer software with new integrated playout functionality, provides a complete stream creation and generation tool set. 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 time stamps, continuity counters, time tables (TDT, TOT, and STT), Normal Playtime Reference, ISDB-T Reed Solomon FEC plus RTP time stamps and sequence numbers for IPTV, without fear of buffer under- or overflow. [. . . ] 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. IPTV Support for IP Stress test playout with capabilities for error insertion (IP Packet Drops, Checksum Errors, Sequence Errors, and Packet Jitter), burst mode (both timing and packet number based), and manual error generation capabilities provide a complete solution for validating IPTV equipment designs. Advanced Mode provides protocol header customization capabilities for source and destination ports and addresses, setting MAC address, transport checksum, network checksums, and user editing of any packet header field parameters. Session replication functionality is provided to simultaneously encapsulate and play a TS over many IP sessions to simulate an IPTV environment. 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. 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 for ASI/SMPTE310M interfaces. Additional options provide offline multiplexing, PES and buffer analysis, elementary stream analysis, and data broadcast analysis and generation. A separate data sheet is available covering the MTX100B Stream Multiplexing and Analysis options in greater detail. 2 www. tektronix. com MPEG Generators -- MTX100B MPEG-2 Recorder and Player Characteristics System Characteristics Characteristic Description Transport Stream Interfaces Characteristic Description MPEG Stream Source Packet Length ASI Maximum Data Rate Memory 200 Mb/s Disk 120 Mb/s Maximum individual file size of 100 GB ASI Minimum Data Rate, 256 Kb/s Play and Record ASI Minimum Data Rate, 500 Kb/s Portable MPEG Analysis IP Generation Supports IPv4, IPv6, RTP.
