Test & Measurement
Tektronix’ 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.
It records and plays 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, USB 2.0, and Ethernet download capability allow users to build and maintain large libraries of test streams. A suite of DVB, ATSC, and MPEG Test streams are provided with the instrument and optional multiplexer software 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 timestamps, continuity counters, time tables (TDT, TOT, and STT), Normal Play-Time Reference, ISDB-T Reed Solomon FEC plus RTP timestamps and sequence numbers for IPTV, without fear of buffer under- or over-flow. IP generation capability negates the need to purchase a separate IP Player and provides a consistent user experience regardless of which physical interface is used to generate streams. Investment is protected through inclusion of support for IPv6 and TTS standards, 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, it can play data files in other formats, including elementary streams and files in DSS format.
