Introduction Introduction The E6292A SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) 310M interface is serial-to-parallel converter that receives a synchronous serial SMPTE signal and converts it to a DVB-Synchronous Parallel Interface (DVB-SPI) signal. This DVB-SPI signal is then output to the DVB-SPI receiver on the MPEGscope main card via an external cable which is included with your installation kit.
Introduction For more help... If you have any questions about the installation procedure, call your local HP representative.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite This section explains how to install the SMPTE 310M interface into the MPEGscope Plus or Lite models. Normally, you will install the interface into slot 3, the optional line interface slot. If you have a different MPEGscope PC than the one illustrated below, you can still follow the procedure described in this section, as the affected cards are installed in the same slot positions.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite Step 1: Remove the cover WA R N I N G Never remove the computer cover without first removing the power cord from the power outlet and any connection to a telecommunications network. 1 Power off your PC. 2 Unplug the AC power cord from the rear of the PC. 3 If you are connected to a telecommunications network, disconnect the network cable. 4 If you are connected to a system under test, disconnect the line interface cable(s).
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite 5 Flip the two latches on the front sides of the computer cover upwards. 6 Grasp the cover on the sides at the back of the computer and slide it forwards and off the computer.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite Step 2: Remove optional interface Complete this step if your MPEGscope already has an optional interface installed and you want to replace it with the SMPTE 310M interface. For an alternative card configuration, refer to page 9. IMPORTANT: 1 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the instructions on the envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite 6 If your optional line interface is connected to the MPEGscope main card with a cable, disconnect the other end of the cable from the MPEGscope main card and remove the cable. 4 If your optional line interface is connected to the MPEGscope main card with a cable, disconnect the cable from the optional interface card. 5 Remove the faceplate screw from slot 3 with the screwdriver provided, then remove the optional line interface.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite Step 3: Install SMPTE interface IMPORTANT: 1 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the instructions on the envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground. 2 Install the SMPTE 310M interface card into slot 3 and screw the faceplate to the PC chassis. (If this is the first interface installed into slot 3, you will have to remove the blank faceplate first.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite Alternative configuration This configuration applies only if your MPEGscope is housed in a Kayak XU PC (e.g., E6277B or E6277C). It enables you to have both the SMPTE 310M interface and another optional line interface (e.g., the ASI & Serial ECL (DHEI) interface) installed at the same time. The configuration requires repositioning all MPEGscope cards into the first four slots, and replaces Steps 2 and 3 on pages 6 to 8. Follow all other steps as usual.
MPEGscope Plus and MPEGscope Lite Step 4: Replace the cover 1 Ensure that the two latches on the front sides of the cover are lifted up. 3 Lower the two latches on the front sides of the cover into place. 2 Slide the cover onto the computer, making sure that the two guides at the bottom of the case slide into the two rails at the base of the computer. Firmly slide the cover backwards into position.

MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite This section explains how to install the SMPTE 310M interface into the MPEGscope Portable or Portable Lite models. You will install the interface into slot 2, the optional line interface slot, illustrated below.
MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite Step 1: Remove the cover WA R N I N G Never remove the computer cover without first removing the power cord from the power outlet and any connection to a telecommunications network. 1 Power off your portable. 2 Unplug the AC power cord from the rear of the portable. 3 If you are connected to a system under test, disconnect the line interface cable(s). 4 If you are connected to a telecommunications network, disconnect the network cable.
MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite 5 Carefully lay MPEGscope Portable face down with the handle towards you. screw #1 screw #3 screw #2 screw #4 6 Remove the six back panel screws from the back and side, then lift off the back panel. screw #5 screw #6 7 Remove the two metal shield screws, then gently pull tabs from slots and remove the metal shield.
MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite Step 2: Remove optional interface Complete this step if your MPEGscope already has an optional interface installed and you want to replace it with the SMPTE 310M interface. IMPORTANT: 1 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the instructions on the envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground.
MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite Step 3: Install SMPTE interface IMPORTANT: 1 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the PC chassis as described in the instructions on the envelope. Ensure that the copper foil end of this strap attaches to an electrical ground. 2 Install the SMPTE 310M interface card into slot 2 and screw the faceplate to the PC chassis. (If this is the first interface installed into slot 2, you will have to remove the blank faceplate first.
3 If your MPEGscope has a Real-time Analyzer, reconnect the ribbon cable from the MPEGscope main card to the Real-time Analyzer card.
MPEGscope Portable and Portable Lite Step 4: Replace the cover 1 Insert tabs on the sides of the metal shield into the slots on the outer frame, then replace the two metal shield screws. screw #2 screw #1 tabs tabs screw #1 3 Place the back cover in position and replace the six back panel screws. 4 Reconnect your display, power cables, and LAN connection, then power on your MPEGscope Portable.

Configuring the software Configuring the software Because the SMPTE 310M interface receives and transmits data via the MPEGscope SPI interface, you do not need special SMPTE 310 interface software. You can set receiver and transmitter options from the SPI interface application, as illustrated below. 1 Select the SPI interface. For information about this dialog, press the Help button.
Configuring the software 2 Select Configure. 3 Select the Mode tab. 4 Select the mode to use for your test. For information about modes, press the Help button. You can also click on a field using the right mouse button.
Configuring the software 5 Select the Rx tab. 6 Select receiver options. 7 Select the Tx tab. 8 Select transmitter options. 9 Close the dialog. For information about receiver and transmitter options, press the Help button at the bottom of the dialog. You can also click on a field using the right mouse button.

Release Notes Release Notes This section describes two SMPTE 310M interface constraints that may affect your test. It includes a description of the problem along with a simple solution or workaround. Initial startup with sparse streams Upon initial startup or when you make a large bit rate change, the SMPTE 310M receiver may not synchronize if the stream contains large continuous strings of 1’s or 0’s.
