Data SheetProduct InformationThe MTX100B MPEG-2 Recorder and Player offers a flexible, affordablesolution for design evaluation and conformance testing of digital videoproducts using MPEG-2 technology. The MTX100B records and plays outMPEG-2 transport streams compliant with ATSC, DVB, and ISDB standardsat the high data rates needed to verify and troubleshoot designs forhigh-performance video products and systems. The large internal storage,USB 2.0, and Ethernet download capability help you build and maintain alarge library of test streams. A suite of DVB, ATSC, and MPEG Test streamsare provided with the instrument and optional Multiplexer software withnew integrated playout functionality, provides a complete stream creationand generation tool set.The MTX100B offers continuous, error-free transport stream looping forlong-duration playout, and PCR jitter insertion for stressing designs. Userscan continuously loop all sample streams, including updating of all timestamps, continuity counters, time tables (TDT, TOT, and STT), NormalPlaytime Reference, ISDB-T Reed Solomon FEC plus RTP time stampsand sequence numbers for IPTV, without fear of buffer under- or overflow.IP generation capability negates the need to purchase a separate IP Playerand provides a consistent user experience regardless of which physicalinterface is used to generate streams. Investment is protected throughinclusion of support for IPv6 and TTS standards.Ethernet network remote control functionality enables control of functionssuch 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 customtransport streams created with offline multiplexers in the Tektronix MPEGAnalysis Tools. In addition, the MTX100B can play data files in otherformats, including elementary streams and files in DSS format.ApplicationsDevelopmentFor the development of instruments that process digital television signals,the MTX100B is a powerful signal source for parametric stress tests andevaluation. Streams can be repeatedly played out into developmentsystems and equipment without timing discontinuities, simulatingtransmissions easily and consistently.ManufacturingThe ability to repeatedly playout a range of transport streams directly intoequipment in a manufacturing environment is crucial when checking qualityand conformance. The user interface makes control of MTX100B intuitiveand simple, and remote control interfaces provide the flexibility of remoteand automated control.2www.tektronix.comIntegrationThe MTX100B can be used as a broadcast simulator when installingand debugging transmission chains by using test streams and recordingtransmissions. The user's control over the source material removes a majorelement of uncertainty when installing systems and equipment. This speedsup the installation and debugging process, and helps ensure a betterend result. The large number of physical and electrical transport streaminterfaces that Tektronix supports means that interfacing to other pieces ofequipment in the transmission chain is easy.TransmissionFor error analysis of Transport Streams, the MTX100B provides continuousrecording that can be controlled by external trigger signals from theMTM400 Transport Stream monitoring tool. Digital TV broadcastersand Network operators can analyze captured streams in-depth usingIndustry-leading Tektronix Analysis Tools.A Scheduler application enables the MTX100B to be used as a simplecontent scenario server for transport-stream based transmissions. Theextendable storage allows users to tailor the amount of storage they require.IPTVSupport for IP Stress test playout with capabilities for error insertion (IPPacket Drops, Checksum Errors, Sequence Errors, and Packet Jitter), burstmode (both timing and packet number based), and manual error generationcapabilities provide a complete solution for validating IPTV equipmentdesigns. Advanced Mode provides protocol header customizationcapabilities for source and destination ports and addresses, setting MACaddress, transport checksum, network checksums, and user editing of anypacket header field parameters.Session replication functionality is provided to simultaneously encapsulateand play a TS over many IP sessions to simulate an IPTV environment.Portable MPEG AnalysisThe addition of the MTS400 MPEG analysis toolset to the MTX100Bplatform provides the broadest, deepest MPEG tool set on a highly portableplatform. Ideally suited to in-field installation, commissioning, and debugof complex MPEG transmission systems the analysis options offered withthe MTX100B provide both real-time and offline transport stream analysiscapability for ASI/SMPTE310M interfaces. Additional options provide offlinemultiplexing, PES and buffer analysis, elementary stream analysis, and databroadcast analysis and generation.A separate data sheet is available covering the MTX100B StreamMultiplexing and Analysis options in greater detail.Performance You Can Count OnDepend on Tektronix to provide you with performance you can count on. Inaddition to industry-leading service and support, this product comes backedby a one-year warranty as standard.
