1. Important Warning and General Safety Information

The following information is presented to the operator to ensure awareness of potential harmful RF (radio frequency) exposure and general hazards. With regards to potential harmful RF electromagnetic fields the text below is only a brief summary highlighting the possible risks and how to minimize exposure. The summary is based on OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields” (1). The user should carefully read and comprehend the following before operating the equipment and for additional in depth information refer to OET Bulletin 65.

1. FCC has set guidelines (1) for evaluating exposure to RF emissions that the user must be aware of when operating the microwave transmitter. The maximum power density allowed at 1500-100,000 MHz is 5mW/cm2 for occupational/controlled exposure* and 1mW/cm2 for general population/uncontrolled exposure**. These are the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) as called out in the FCC guidelines (for the above mentioned frequencies).

2. Exposure is based upon the average time spent within the RF field with a given intensity (field units in mW/cm2). Hence it may be controlled (or at least minimized) by observing the safe distances and time exposed. Safe distances are calculated from equations predicting RF Fields (3).

3. The transmitter is capable of harmful radiation if safe operating practices are not observed. 4. Antenna minimum safe operating distance is 20cm (8 inches). It is the responsibility of the

qualified end-user of this intentional radiator to control the safe distances and exposure limits to bystanders. *”Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general population/uncontrolled limits (see below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means……..” (2)

** “General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore, members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not employment-related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a nearby residential area.“ (2)

5. Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is installed.

6. In should be noted that this device is an intentional radiator, hence: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

7. DC power to the unit should never be applied until the antenna (or other suitable load) has been attached to the RF output connector. Safe operating procedures must be observed when unit is transmitting into an antenna (see sections 1 & 2 above).

8. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed as a safe practice. 9. The transmitter will generate considerable heat and is the responsibility of the end user to properly

heat sink the device before using.

4. General System Information

4.1 Theory of Operation The M2CHPT accepts Standard Definition (SD) or High Definition (HD) 4:2:2 digital video or analog SD video and analog stereo audio inputs (Mic or Line level). The video is compressed according to the Advanced Video Compression (AVC) /h.264 specifications. The low-latency AVC Encoder supports the Baseline Profiles with resolutions from 480 to 1080 with support for either interlaced or progressive formats. The audio is compressed using MPEG layer II compression. Low rate user data up to 38.4K Baud can be optionally supported. The audio, video and user data packets PES streams are multiplexed with basic service data to indicate the service name. The stream can be scrambled with AES scrambling system to provide protection in sensitive applications. The TS stream is then sent through a DVB-T compliant FEC encoder and COFDM modulator. This is output from the FPGA based modulator core as digital I/Q signals that are converted to Analog I/Q signals and applied to an I/Q Modulator. The LO that provides the carrier to this I/Q modulator comes from a low phase-noise programmable synthesizer. The modulated RF output of I/Q modulator IC is sent through amplifier chain and ultimately output to the outside world. Programmable attenuators in the RF processing chain provide signal leveling. One of the biggest problems encountered in the transition from an analog to a digital A/V Platform has been the inherent digital coding delays that in some digital systems are 400ms or more. The M2CHPT/MSR combination employs a specially designed ‘low delay’ coding technology, which provides an end-to-end latency of approx. 198ms without the introduction of any further MPEG encoding artifacts. This ensures that the picture you see is what is happening now - crucial for applications such as sports coverage, surveillance, and law enforcement, where personnel are reacting to real-time events The 4K High – Throughput Option enables user-selectable options to set bandwidths from 6 MHz to 16 MHz and to double the throughput of our standard M2T (Up to 63 Mbps!). Using 4 K carriers and the 16 MHz bandwidth, the link can support HD operation with > 12 Mbps while running QPSK and ½ FEC. This increases link robustness and provides an additional 13.5 dB increase in link margin (>4.7 x increase in operating range!) for the same throughput rate in a standard HD MPEG-2 DVB-T system! With the HIGH-THROUGHPUT OPTION you can run with fully DVB-T compliant 2K carriers and bandwidths of 6, 7, or 8 MHz. When switched to 4 K carriers user can select 12, 14 or 16 MHz bandwidth. The 4K HIGH-THROUGHPUT OPTION is also useful when transmitting multiple video streams through one transmitter. This option requires a special receiver configuration. Please contact GMS Sales for additional information. The transmitter is microprocessor controlled. Normally the transmitter is controlled either through an RS-232 or USB interface via either GMS’ MS Windows control SW or a simple command line interface.

4.2 Power Amplifiers (Standard or VEPA)

The M2CHPT comes with either the VEPA or the Standard power amplifier. The VEPA (Very Efficient Power Amplifier) is Cobham/GMS’ newest design specifically targeted for COFDM modulation formats because of its high linearity and efficiency. Most of the connections using either the VEPA or the

100-M0163X1A 10 of 41


Standard PA are the same. Where there are differences they are pointed out in the manual. In addition if there are differences in specifications they are also noted.

5. Hardware Overview

5.1 Front Panel The Front Panel of M2CHPT consists of 3 fans designed to cool the unit down.

Figure 1 – M2CHPT Front View

5.2 Rear Panel

5.2.1 Power Control DC Power Switch is located at upper left corner of M2CHPT Rear Panel.

5.2.2 Indicators The green LED PWR power indicator (DS1) lights when the correct DC voltage has been applied and the power switch (SW1) has been switched to the “ON” position. With the Standard power amplifier there is a red LED RF ON indicator (DS2) which lights when the RF signal is present. The VEPA power amplifier lacks the LED RF ON (DS2) indicator. Monitoring the current usage (if possible) is also another way of detecting if the RF signal has been activated.

100-M0163X1A 15 of 41


This connector provides an input for SD/HD-SDI video or can be used an input for ASI DVB compliant Transport Streams. Switching from a SDI input to an ASI input is made using the GUI control software (see software overview section 5 for details on the input modes). The SDI input bit rate is 270 Mbps for Standard Definition and 1.485 Gbps for High Definition. When using the input as an ASI input ensure the transmitter channel rate is set approximately 10% higher than the ASI stream rate coming into the transmitter.

5.3.9 ASI Out (J9) Connector Type: BNC-F This connector provides an output for DVB-ASI Transport Streams. The output bit rate is 270 Mbps. This transport stream does not include the SI tables, User-Data, or AES encryption which is added later in the processing chain. It can be useful as a monitoring/troubleshooting tool or as a standalone DVB-ASI Transport Stream output with rates up to 50 Mbps. As a monitoring/troubleshooting tool the user can verify the correct operation of the encoder-decoder portion of the link by running this output directly into the decoder’s ASI INPUT, essentially bypassing the RF portion of the link. As a standalone Transport Stream output the encoder can be placed into an “Encoder” only mode in which the ASI Transport Stream rates can run as high as 50 mbps (see software section 5.5.2).

6. Software Overview

6.1 System requirements

M2CHPT are based on M2T Transmitter. Configuration, control and monitoring of the M2CHPT unit are accomplished by using GMS’ optional (sold separately) MS Windows-based M2T Configurator software program. This Graphical User Interface (GUI) program provides the end user with a straightforward way to interface with the M2CHPT. During normal operation, once a HP-MDL link is established, the M2T Configurator GUI does not need to be active and can be disconnected from the M2CHPT. The M2T Configurator program has been developed and tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows NT. Although the M2T Configurator program may work properly on other operating systems, only the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows NT environments have been used at GMS and no support or assistance can be provided concerning other operating systems. The physical connections from the M2CHPT box to a PC using the Data/Control cable (780-C0217) are shown below. Attach this cable to the DATA/CONTROL connector on the M2CHPT. With this cable the user has the option of using the “CTRL” connections or the “USB” connection. The “CTRL” connector brings out the RS232 TX and RX lines so that a PC with a COM port can be used. Or if the PC has a USB connector the “USB” portion of the cable can be attached to the PC’s USB port.

6.3.2 Function Buttons • Reset TX: Clicking on this button re-boots the transmitter to an initial known state. Note that

it takes approximately 20 seconds to fully initialize the transmitter. • Store All Setup Pages: Clicking on this button will store all setup pages, even if they are not

shown. • Enable All: Clicking on this button enables all the check boxes on the screen. This operation is

done to prepare all the fields to be written to (or read from). Alternatively, the end user can individually select a given field by using the mouse and clicking its corresponding check box

• Disable All: Clicking on this button disables all the check boxes on the screen. This operation

is done to inhibit all the fields to be written to (or read from). Alternatively, the end user can individually deselect a given field by using the mouse and clicking its corresponding check box.

• Query: Clicking on this button performs a read operation on all the fields that have their check

box enabled. Once clicked, all the selected fields will be read back reflecting their current configuration.

check box enabled. Once clicked, all the selected fields will be written to with the value denoted in their respective field.

100-M0163X1A 21 of 41


• CLR: Clicking on this button clears out all fields on the screen, regardless of whether the fields’

check boxes are selected or not. This button proves useful when the end user wants to verify that a write operation has been correctly performed. An example scenario would be to 1) enable all fields, 2) change desired field(s), 3) perform an ‘Update’ (write) operation, 4) perform a ‘CLR’ operation and 5) perform a ‘Query’ operation. As a result of the ‘Query’ operation, the fields on the screen should all update to those values that were written during the ‘Update’ operation.

• Load Group Button: The data structure of the M2T is organized into “Groups” of selected

fields. A Group contains the following fields: Carrier Mode, Modulation Mode, COFDM Bandwidth, COFDM mode, Guard Interval, Modulation FEC, Video Frame Size, Video Frame Rate and Input Mode. Clicking on the ‘Load Group’ button loads the selected Group to be operated on by the M2T. A Group can be selected by selecting Group Name under the pull down text box “Group Name (16Chars)” or by its Group Number under the “Group No” pull down text box.

NOTE: After selecting a group by either its’ group number or group name you must click on the “Load Group” button for the group to take effect.

The M2T allows up to 20 group types to be stored in the non-volatile memory each with its’ own unique Group name and associated Group Number. The unit is provided with 20 established groups (see appendix B) in which the parameters have been carefully chosen for optimal performance.

NOTE: Clicking on the ‘Update’ button only implements any changes made temporary (until the transmitter is re-powered). The ‘Stored All Setup Pages’ must be clicked on for the changes to be saved permanently.

6.3.3 Field Definitions There are several different fields that can be configured by the M2T Configurator. The fields located in the main screen of Figure 5 and their associated values are defined in Table 4 below. Also noted in the table is whether the field is read, write-able or both.

6.8.5 Others This menu displays the following, (see Figure 15):

• Low and High Power attenuation – The RF output can be attenuated in 1 dB increments up to 12 dB for Low and High Power Levels.

• COFDM Spectrum Inversion - choices include Normal or Inverted. The transmitter is configured with the receiver it ships with and the inversion mode shouldn’t have to be changed. However if a different receiver is used, it may be necessary to change the inversion mode. Some receivers will accept either inversion mode. Check the parameters of the receivers to ensure the correct inversion mode is selected.

• RF Power Mode – Can be used to put transmitter in a sleep mode, a low power mode where the encoder functions and many of the power regulators are shut down enabling a saving in current (approx. 40%) when transmitter is not active.

• Group switchers – always should be set to Disabled mode.

7. Initial Check Out

The standard M2CHPT kit includes the following items: M2CHPT unit M2CHPT Power cable (GMS P/N 780-C0219) M2CHPT Audio cable (GMS P/N 780-C0218) M2CHPT Data/Control (GMS P/N 780-C0217)

NOTE: Based on customer application GMS may deliver additional cables and antennas. Contact GMS for further information. The M2CHPT is pre-configured by GMS prior to shipment (based on customer requirements), thus is ready to work “right out of the box”.

7.1 Getting Started Prior to installing a M2CHPT unit into the desired target environment, an initial checkout should be performed to ensure proper operation of the unit. The initial checkout consists of configuring a basic HP-MDL (High Power Messenger Digital Link).

Figure 16 – Basic HP-MDL Setup

Figure 16 shows a basic interconnection configuration to establish a wireless HP-MDL (NOTE: Receivers, down converters (D/C) units and their associated hardware are sold separately). The steps necessary to set up the configuration are described below.

100-M0163X1A 31 of 41


Install omni-directional antennas onto the M2CHPT RF output port and Down- Converter (D/C) RF

input port. Warning: Transmitters should not be powered on without a load. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to the equipment. Warning: In a lab environment a high power attenuator (30 dB, dc to 8.5 GHz, 150Watts average is recommended) should be installed at the output of the VCHPT at all times. Attach the power cable (780-C0219X1) to the M2CHPT unit. Attach a RF cable from the D/C IF output port to RF in port of the receiver. Attach a composite video source to M2CHPT BNC video input (marked CVBS/Y). S-video and

Component video input are also available. Attach a video cable from one of the BNC video output ports on the receiver to a video monitor.

To prepare to power the M2CHPT unit, attach the red and black wires of the power cable to +12V (or +28V) terminal and ground of power supply, respectively.

NOTE: The power supply (for the transmitter) with the Standard PA needs to be able to provide at least 10 amps of current at a nominal +12Vdc input if configured for +12Vdc input (6 amps if configured for +28Vdc input). With the VEPA PA the power supply needs to be able to provide at least 7 amps at a nominal +12Vdc input if configured for +12Vdc input (3.5 amps if configured for +28Vdc input). Turn on the video source and video monitor equipment. Apply power to the M2CHPT and the receiver unit. Also ensure the down converter is powered

(+12 VDC to pin 1, GND to pin 3 of the DB-9 pin connector located on the bottom side of the D/C). If the down converter is installed in a pole mount box it will have a power switch on the side of the unit. Ensure the switch is turned to the “On” position.

After approximately 20 seconds, the link should be established and video provided by the source should be displayed on the monitor. If a link is not established, insure that the receiver is tuned to the same frequency and bandwidth as the transmitter. (See corresponding Receiver manual.)

The initial checkout described above is simply to check the basic video operation of the M2CHPT unit. For further details on monitoring and controlling the M2CHPT using GMS’ optional MS Windows-based M2CHPT Configurator software program, see Section 6.0.
