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:
QPSK (L-Band)
QAM (Annex A)
QAM (Annex B II)
QAM (Annex C)
COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
8PSK (Phase Shift Keying)
8VSB (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.
