Interface Configuration and Interpretation

This section describes the configuration and interpretation of results of the interface cards that may be installed in the MTM400.

The interface settings described are as follows:

ƒQPSK (L-Band)

ƒQAM (Annex A)

ƒQAM (Annex B II)

ƒQAM (Annex C)

ƒCOFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)

ƒ8PSK (Phase Shift Keying)

ƒ8VSB (Vestigial Side Band)

The interface card options available for the MTM400 fall into two broad categories. Standard interface cards and Common interface protocol (CIP) cards. The Standard interface cards include the QPSK (L-Band), QAM (Annexes A) and QAM (Annex C) cards. The Common Interface Protocol Cards include the QAM (Annex B), COFDM, 8PSK, and 8VSB cards.

Also available are the built-in SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) and ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) interfaces. No user settings are are associated with either of these interfaces.

(Refer to the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor Technical Reference for the interface technical specifications.)

The input card screen and configuration of the card will depend on the interface card installed.

All cards can be configured from the interface configuration screen:

1.Select Config… button; the Configuration screen is displayed.

2.Select the interface card from the Interface drop-down list.

3.Select the adjacent Config… button; the Configuration screen is displayed.

Note. CIP cards can also be configured from the Input Card screen.
