PROGRAMMING
System PC Controller Application Software
Getting Started
Advanced control of the system is available by using the PC control application software.
Typically users may want to customize the default configurations to control settings such as
frequency, scrambling keys, modulation parameters, and video resolution.
â˘
Use the supplied programming cable to
connect the chosen COM port of your
PC to the transmitter to be configured.
The transmitter is controlled by the application 'LJLWDO9LGHR3URJUDPPHUH[H
located on the CD delivered with the product.
â˘
Launch the application by double
clicking or using the 5XQ
command.
A PC is required with an available RS232 Serial COM port to control the transmitter.
Installation of the control program is as simple as copying the file from the CD to a suitable
location on the PC. No install shield routine is launched. Note that the application generates
its own log and initialization files, so it is best to create a dedicated directory for these
applications, perhaps with links to the applications from the desktop of the PC.

Transmitter Control Application
PROGRAMMING
RF Output
This control is used to turn the RF output on and off. Turn the transmitter RF power on by selecting
COFDM.
Output Frequency (MHz)
The Output Frequency setting allows selection of TX output frequency in increments of 0.25 MHz within
the allowed tuning range of the unit. If the unit is set to a frequency that is not an integer multiple
of 0.25 MHz, the unit will be automatically set to the closest frequency that is an integer multiple of
0.25MHz. An error message will pop-up warning you that the frequency will not be exactly as specified.
RF Bandwidth (MHz)
The actual channel bandwidth that the wireless video link will occupy. The DVB-T compliant mode
requires a bandwidth setting of 6, 7 or 8 MHz. The narrowband mode bandwidth is either 1.25 or 2.5
MHz. Narrower bandwidths increase receiver sensitivity and extend the maximum distance of the link,
however video quality and latency will suffer. Normal default for good quality video is 2.5MHz. The
modulation bandwidth may be set to 1.25, 2.5, 6, 7, or 8 MHz.
RF Output Power
Output power selects one of two output power attenuator settings; low power or high power,
typically the low power setting is the larger of the two attenuator settings and is used, for
instance, if a power amplifier is added to the transmitter and the output power needs to be
lowered substantially to prevent overloading the input of the power amplifier.
Attenuation - High RF pwr (dB)
Output attenuation (dB) is the high power attenuator setting, and is set at the factory for
narrowband mask conformance*.
Attenuation Low RF pwr (dB)
Output attenuation low (dB) is the low power attenuator setting, and is set at the factory for
DVB-T mask conformance*.
*The value is set at the factory for mask conformance across the full transmitted frequency and ambient
temperature ranges (assuming DTC-standard heatsink is attached for ambient temperatures >50 deg.C.
This control can be used to make minor adjustments to the output power level, but in normal operation
should NOT be changed from factory settings. (0 attenuation = full output power, greater than 0
attenuation = reduced power in 0.25 dB steps.)
PROGRAMMING
DVBT Provider Name
DVB-T provider name is a place to assign a Provider name for the DVB-T configuration.
DVBT Service Name
DVB-T service name is a place to assign a Service name for the DVB-T configuration.
DVBT FEC Rate
DVB-T FEC rate selects forward error correction rates in the wideband DVB-T modes. Options
are 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 with 1/2 giving best range and 3/4 possibly giving better video
quality under certain conditions. Recommended default is 1/2.
DVBT Guard Interval
DVB-T guard interval selects guard intervals in the wideband DVB-T modes or 1/32, 1/16, 1/8,
1/4. Use the smallest guard interval that will allow reliable low error rate communications, this
parameter may need to be adjusted when the link is relocated; the recommended default is
1/16.
DVBT Modulation
DVB-T modulation selects the modulation used in the wideband DVB-T mode. Modulations
QPSK, 16QAM, or 64QAM can be selected. QPSK will give best distance and in most cases
very good video quality and low latency.
DVBT Spectrum Inversion
DVB-T spectrum inversion allows flipping the modulated spectrum to compensate for spectrum inversion that may take place on the receiver side due to high side LO injection.
DVBT 4 kHz Offset
DVB-T 4 kHz offset is not normally used but might improve BER in cases where the TX upconverter I/Q balance is poor.
PROGRAMMING
Narrowband FEC
Narrowband FEC sets the forward error correction rate in the narrow bandwidth modes of 1.25 or 2.5
MHz. The two rates available are 1/3 and 2/3; the normal default setting for good quality video is 2/3.
Changing the FEC rate to 1/3 will extend the receiver sensitivity by 2 to 3 dB at the expense of degraded
video quality and longer latency.
Narrowband Guard Interval
Narrowband guard interval is used in the narrowband modes of 1.25 and 2.5MHz to adjust for varying
multi-path delay conditions. The default is 1/16 however 1/8 can be selected if necessary to deal with
extreme multi-path delays on long links. Selecting 1/8 guard interval could cause a degradation in video
quality and latency.
Narrowband Modulation
Narrowband modulation is used in the narrowband modes to select between QPSK and 16QAM
modulation. For best range with good video quality, QPSK is used; 16QAM will give better video quality
but will cut down the link range by approximately 50%.
Unit Name
The Unit Name is the index for each configuration. It is only transmitted, however, for Narrowband and
Ultra-Narrowband modulations. (In DVB-T, Provider Name or Service Name can be used to uniquely
identify the device.)
PROGRAMMING
Video Input
Video input selects the video format going into the MPEG video compressor. Options are: OFF (no video input
typically used when link is used for data or audio only), PAL, NTSC, NTSC no pedestal, SDI PAL, SDI NTSC.
Horizontal Resolution
Horizontal resolution determines the maximum number of horizontal Pixels that can be sampled by the video
encoder. For optimal performance this setting should be set to the first value that exceeds the horizontal resolution of the camera in use. Options are: 352, 480, 528, 720 pixels.
Video Sharpness
Video sharpness is a filter that may be switched in to smooth out blockiness in the video.
MPEG Mode
MPEG mode selects the MPEG compression being used, options are: MPEG2 or MPEG-4 (Part 2 ASP). MPEG-4
mode has to be used when in the 1.25 MHz bandwidth mode since this mode can use a nonstandard frame rate
that is not supported by MPEG-2. MPEG-4 is not available in DVB-T mode.
Video Profile
Selects the chroma format; 4:2:0 or 4:2:2. Note that 4:2:2 is not useful in narrowband modulations due to the
degree of compression used.
GOP Length
Selects the Group Of Pictures (GOP) size; min. 0, max. 100. Note that system latency increases with GOP length,
while reducing the video bit rate. The specified latency of 54 ms for this product applies only for a GOP length of
0. A GOP length of 15 for NTSC video (12 for PAL) will result in a latency of approximately 1/2 a second.
Video Bitrate (status only)
Video bitrate is a status window that will display the video transport data rate. This varies with bandwidth,
modulation, FEC rate and guard interval. The rate will increase with bandwidth and higher levels of modulation,
it will go down as the FEC rate and guard interval are increased and other services are active such as data and
audio. The video bit rate will also decrease as other service options are activated such as audio and data channels. As a rule video quality and latency improve as the bit rate is increased.
MPEG-4 Encoding Mode
MPEG4 encoding mode selects the characteristics of the MPEG4 compression. Options are: low delay interlaced,
standard delay interlaced, low delay progressive, and standard delay progressive. Interlaced scanning is what is
used in conventional over-the-air video. Progressive scan is available on some cameras and involves scanning an
entire frame in one pass rather than two in interlaced scanning.
MPEG-4 Frame Rate
MPEG-4 frame rate selects the frame rate used in the MPEG-4 mode, full frame rate is 30 fps for NTSC and 25
fps for PAL a frame rate of 1/2 or less has to be used in 1.25 MHz bandwidth mode. Options are: Full, 1/2, 1/4,
1/8. or 1/24.
Audio Encoder
PROGRAMMING
Audio encoder selects quantity of active audio channels (2 maximum), sampling rate (8, 16
or 32 kHz) which determines upper frequency response, and sampling bits (8 or 12) which
determines audio signal to noise. (Options are listed on right.)
NOTE: The higher the sampling rate, the more bandwidth required, which can
increase video latency.
Audio Source
If the SDI option has been purchased for the unit, the audio can be sourced from either the
microphone inputs (Analog) or embedded audio present in an SDI input stream. Note that
if an SDI video input has been selected the microphone input can still be used as the audio
source if desired. If Embedded Audio is selected, the Audio Encoder must be set to one of the
48kHz MPEG options.
Audio Input Level
Audio input level selects the audio preamp gain level. Options are:
0 dB, 12 dB, 24 dB, 36 dB, 48 dB. Use 24 dB for DTC supplied microphones. Note: 3.5 VDC
phantom power is at the microphone input for powering electret condenser microphones.
MPEG Layer Audio (kbps)
The user can select the MPEG audio bit rate.
Higher bit rates result in better audio quality at the receiver. For narrowband modulations,
note that selecting higher bit rates will result in restricted data capacity for the video link and
will require slow frame rates.
MPEG Audio Offset
MPEG Audio Offset is a tool to manually synchronize audio to the video, should it be
necessary. The user enters an integer value that offsets the PTS (Presentation Time Stamp) in
the MPEG-2 transport stream.
Audio DID (SDI data ID)
SD-SDI (Standard Definition) can carry up to 16 embedded stereo audio streams, The VMD
can extract one of these streams for transmission with video. If SDI embedded audio is
selected as the audio source, the hexadecimal DID (Data Identifier) identifies the stream
number.
Audio Encoder Options are:
⢠Off
⢠8 kHz 8 bit mono
⢠8 kHz 8 bit stereo
⢠16 kHz 8 bit mono
⢠16 kHz 8 bit stereo
⢠32 kHz 8 bit mono
⢠32 kHz 8 bit stereo

PROGRAMMING
Serial Data (On/Off)
Allows activation of the RS232 half-duplex serial data channel and selection of parity (none,
even, or odd).
Serial Data Baud Rate
Data baud rate selects data channel baud rate, standard rates between 1200 and 115,200
baud are available. Default is 1200. Note that 57600 is not available for DVB-T modes.
