5.4.3 Create or Update Digital ASI Preset
Configuration Settings in Local Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom digital ASI
Preset configuration or to update an existing digital ASI Preset
configuration is contained in the following steps.
When preparing a new digital ASI Preset, you must first select an
existing digital ASI Preset from either the ASI factory default
Preset or from your own custom digital ASI Presets. The
selected digital ASI Preset will be used as a “make-from” to
prepare the new digital ASI Preset configuration.
Please note that while the ASI factory default Preset may be
used to prepare a new Preset configuration, the factory default
Preset cannot be changed or deleted. It can only be used as
a “make-from”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset
should be saved with a new Preset number. When you save the
new Preset, the Preset number will automatically be increased to
the next available Preset number. If you select an existing
Preset number when saving the new Preset, the original custom
Preset will be overwritten and cannot be recovered. The only
way to restore a Preset that has been overwritten is to re-enter
the custom Preset data from scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset
number will automatically be increased to the next available
Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration
settings using the original Preset number.
Note In the following steps, the color LCD display option
buttons and pull-down menu options may be
selected using either the touch screen or the
function keys and the SEL key.
1. Verify the MTX5000 IDU is powered up. See
”Powering the MTX5000 System” on page 3-7.

5.4.5 Create or Update Digital DVB-S Preset
Configuration Settings in Local Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom digital DVB-S
Preset configuration or to update an existing digital DVB-S
Preset configuration is contained in the following steps.
When preparing a new digital DVB-S Preset, you must first
select an existing digital DVB-S Preset from either the digital
DVB-S factory default Preset or from your own custom digital
DVB-S Presets. The selected Preset will be used as a “make-
from” to prepare the new digital DVB-S Preset configuration.
Please note that while factory default Presets may be used to
prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory default
Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only be
used as “make-froms”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
No
Please Wait!
Yes
When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset
should be saved with a new Preset number. When you save the
new Preset, the Preset number will automatically be increased to
the next available Preset number. If you select an existing
Preset number when saving the new Preset, the original custom
Preset will be overwritten and cannot be recovered. The only
way to restore a Preset that has been overwritten is to re-enter
the custom Preset data from scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset
number will automatically be increased to the next available
Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration
settings using the original Preset number.
Note In the following steps, the color LCD display option
buttons and pull-down menu options may be
selected using either the touch screen or the
function keys and the SEL key.
1. Verify the MTX5000 IDU is powered up. See
”Powering the MTX5000 System” on page 3-7.

5.4.6 Create or Update Digital IP Preset
Configuration Settings in Local Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom digital IP Preset
configuration or to update an existing digital IP Preset
configuration is contained in the following steps.
When preparing a new digital IP Preset, you must first select an
existing digital IP Preset from either the digital IP factory default
Preset or from your own custom digital IP Presets. The selected
Preset will be used as a “make-from” to prepare the new digital
IP Preset configuration.
Please note that while factory default Presets may be used to
prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory default
Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only be
used as “make-froms”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset
should be saved with a new Preset number. When you save the
new Preset, the Preset number will automatically be increased to
the next available Preset number. If you select an existing
Preset number when saving the new Preset, the original custom
Preset will be overwritten and cannot be recovered. The only
way to restore a Preset that has been overwritten is to re-enter
the custom Preset data from scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset
number will automatically be increased to the next available
Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration
settings using the original Preset number.
Note In the following steps, the color LCD display option
buttons and pull-down menu options may be
selected using either the touch screen or the
function keys and the SEL key.
1. Verify the MTX5000 IDU is powered up. See

5.5.1 Create or Update Custom Analog Preset
Configuration in Remote Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom user analog
Preset configuration or to update an existing user Preset
configuration in the Remote mode is contained in the following
steps.
Advanced Operations 5-74MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
When preparing a new analog Preset, you must first select an
existing analog Preset from either one of the analog factory
default Presets or from your custom user analog Presets. The
selected Preset will be used as a “make-from” to prepare the
new user analog Preset configuration.
Please note that while factory default analog Presets may be
used to prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory
default Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only
be used as “make-froms”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
When using a custom user Preset as a “make-from”, the new
Preset should be saved with a new Preset number.
If you select an existing user Preset number when saving the
new Preset, the original custom Preset will be overwritten and
cannot be recovered. The only way to restore a Preset that has
been overwritten is to re-enter the custom Preset data from
scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
user Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the
Preset number will automatically be increased to the next
available Preset number. You must enter and save the
configuration settings using the original Preset number.

5.5.5 Create or Update Custom Digital DVB-S
Preset Configuration in Remote Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom digital DVB-S
Preset configuration or to update an existing Preset configuration
in the Remote mode is contained in the following steps.
When preparing a new digital DVB-S Preset, you must first
select an existing digital DVB-S Preset from either the digital
DVB-S factory default Preset or from your own custom digital
DVB-S Presets. The selected Preset will be used as a “make-
from” to prepare the new digital DVB-S Preset configuration.
Please note that while factory default digital DVB-S Presets may
be used to prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory
default Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only
be used as “make-froms”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset
should be saved with a new Preset number.
If you select an existing Preset number when saving the new
Preset, the original custom Preset will be overwritten and cannot
be recovered. The only way to restore a Preset that has been
overwritten is to re-enter the custom Preset data from scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset
number will automatically be increased to the next available
Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration
settings using the original Preset number.

5.5.6 Create or Update Custom Digital IP Preset
Configuration in Remote Mode
The procedure required to create a new custom digital IP Preset
configuration or to update an existing Preset configuration in the
Remote mode is contained in the following steps.
When preparing a new digital IP Preset, you must first select an
existing digital IP Preset from either the digital IP factory default
Preset or from your own custom digital IP Presets. The selected
Preset will be used as a “make-from” to prepare the new digital
IP Preset configuration.
Please note that while factory default digital IP Presets may be
used to prepare a new Preset configuration, these factory
default Presets cannot be changed or deleted. They can only
be used as “make-froms”.
When the new configuration is prepared using the factory default
Preset, it cannot be saved with the factory Preset number or
Preset name. A new Preset number and Preset name must be
assigned to the new Preset.
When using a custom Preset as a “make-from”, the new Preset
should be saved with a new Preset number.
If you select an existing Preset number when saving the new
Preset, the original custom Preset will be overwritten and cannot
be recovered. The only way to restore a Preset that has been
overwritten is to re-enter the custom Preset data from scratch.
If you are updating configuration settings on an existing custom
Preset, when you save the configuration settings, the Preset
number will automatically be increased to the next available
Preset number. You must enter and save the configuration
settings using the original Preset number.

• Verify that the items shipped agree with those listed on
the packing list.
• DO NOT discard the container(s) or packing material until
you have inspected the equipment and are sure there is
no shipping damage. The container(s) and packing must
be available in the event that a damage claim needs to be
filed with the shipping carrier.
6.3 Initial Inspection
After the equipment is unpacked, we recommend you inspect it
using the following checklist:
• Check for any dents or scratches.
• Check that the equipment is clean and dry.
• Check that no cables or connectors are broken, damaged,
or loose.
• Check that no switch, keypad, or function keys are
broken, damaged, or loose.
• Check that the LCD display has not been damaged.
6.4 Damage in Shipment
Should any damage be discovered after unpacking the unit, use
the following procedure:
• Immediately file a claim with the shipping carrier.
• Forward a copy of the damage report to MRC Customer
Service.
• Contact MRC Customer Service to determine the
disposition of the equipment.
6.5 Installing the MTX5000 IDU
For mobile applications, the MTX5000 is typically mounted in a
bulkhead or compartment 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack and the cabling
is permanently installed. Power comes from the mobile power
source.
6.5.1 Site Preparation
The following requirements are designed to make initial
installation easier and to allow room for future access and
servicing.
Equipment Rack The MTX5000 mounts into the mounting rails
of a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. It occupies 2
rack units (2RU) of height.
• Make certain the rack and mounting rails are strong and
rigid enough to support the MTX5000 and the rest of the
equipment in the rack.
• It is recommended that a rack mount shelf be installed in
the back of the rack to help support the MTX5000 during
the high stresses of vehicle vibration.
• The rack should be securely attached to a solid surface
such as a floor or wall to prevent movement or tipping
over.
• Position the rack to allow easy access to the front and
rear of the equipment.
• Be sure to allow room behind the equipment rack for the
many cables required. The cables should not be pressed
against the rear of the equipment when closing doors.
This will stress the cables and may shorten their life.

Ventilation
CAUTION Temperatures inside a closed mounting
area can be significantly higher than the
ambient temperature. Always allow
adequate ventilation.
• If possible, install the MTX5000 IDU in a climate-
controlled area.
• Installation should allow adequate air flow around the
equipment. Air flow should be circulated and mixed with
room air, not trapped in a closed space.
• When mounting the MTX5000 IDU in an enclosed rack
with other equipment, it is good practice to allow spaces
at the top and bottom of the rack, and to fill those spaces
with grillwork instead of blank panels.
Moisture
WARNING Indoor equipment is not designed to
withstand water or moisture. If water does
penetrate the chassis, it could cause
equipment damage and/or create a safety
hazard.
• Locate the equipment in an area protected from dripping
water or excessive humidity.
Cabling
In mobile installations, wiring is subject to extremes of
temperature, humidity, and vibration. MRC recommends the
following general practices be performed in all installations.
Installation 6-4MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
CAUTION Be sure the power being supplied matches
the power required by the equipment.
CAUTION Power supply cords and cables must be
protected. Do not run cords where they can
be walked upon. Protect cables against
pinching and chafing. Pay special attention
to locations where the cables enter or exit
an enclosure or make a sharp bend.
CAUTION Ensure that the electrical supply is protected
by over current protection devices, as
required by the applicable electrical codes.
• Secure all cables at close intervals along their entire
lengths.
• Protect the cabling with additional sheathing or padding
anywhere it passes through a hole or lays against an
obstruction.
• Provide flex relief at any location where the cable must
change direction sharply, to maintain a smooth bend and
prevent kinking.
• Provide strain relief at each connector to absorb any
pulling forces on the cable and prevent damage to the
connector.
6.6 Power Connections
6.6.1 Power Requirements
The MTX5000 has the following power requirements.
Supply Voltage: 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
IDU Power Consumption: 40 Watts Nominal
Standard ODU Power Consumption: 65 Watts Nominal
High Power ODU Power Consumption: 80 Watts Nominal
6.6.2 Power Supply and Distribution

on the installation. This common ground is often the
vehicle ground.
• The ground wire should be as short as possible, and follow
the straightest path possible.
6.8 Defining the Wiring Harness
This section describes how to define the wiring harness that
connects the MTX5000 IDU to ODU. The wiring harness
contains RF/Power cables and function cables.
Supplying main power to the MTX5000 IDU is covered in
Section 6.6 on page 6-4.
6.8.1 Steps to Define the Harness
Perform the following steps to define the wiring harness between
the IDU and the ODU.
1. Select the type of RF/power cabling required. See
”Select the Type of RF/Power Cabling” .
2. Select the function cables required. See Section 6.8.3
on page 6-7.
3. Determine the size of the wiring harness required.
See Section 6.8.4 on page 6-9.
4. When the wiring harness is fabricated, go to “Installing
the Fabricated Harness” on page 6-13.
6.8.2 Select the Type of RF/Power Cabling
The first step is to determine what type of RF and DC power
cabling you will be using to connect the IDU to the ODU. There
are three different options:
• Triax connectors (RF, control, and DC power in one
cable). See Figure 6-3 on page 6-6.
• Type “N” connectors (RF and control on one cable, DC
power in another cable). See Figure 6-4 on page 6-7.
• TNC connectors (RF and control in one cable, DC power
in another cable). See Figure 6-4 on page 6-7.
Installation 6-6MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
The MTX5000 system may be ordered with Triax, Type “N”, or
TNC cable connectors. Existing installations may use Triax,
Type “N”, or TNC cabling. ‘
Special Note - Triax Installations Over time, flexing and
vibration can cause the connections inside the Triax connector to
deteriorate, leading to high resistance in the DC circuit paths.
This, in turn, can cause erratic and intermittent problems with the
MTX5000 system.
MRC recommends you avoid this possibility by performing the
following:
• Install the Triax connector carefully, following the steps in
“Installing Triax Connectors” on page A-1.
• Support the Triax cable so that any movement of the
cable does not apply stress to the Triax connector.

lengths (See Figure 6-5) is as follows:
Overall Length = (DIM A - 5 ft.) x 2 + DIM B + DIM C
For example, with a mast height of 58 ft., minus 5 ft. inside the
truck = 53 ft. x 2 = 106 ft. + 10 ft. + 20 ft. = 136 ft.

6.9 Cabling Requirements
CAUTION To avoid potential problems, existing wiring
harnesses must be carefully examined for
evidence of damage, corrosion, or broken
wire strands, and any damage detected
must be repaired before a new MTX5000
system is placed into service.
CAUTION Failure to provide sufficient current carrying
capacity between the MTX5000 IDU and the
ODU(s) may cause performance issues,
including dropouts in transmission, and may
cause damage to the equipment or to the
installation.

Installation 6-10MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
MRC strongly recommends using a 4-conductor, 16 AWG
wire combination for DC power that supports Standard and
High Power ODUs.
Specifically, wiring should be in accordance with Table 6-3 for
Standard ODU use and Table 6-4 on page 6-11 for High Power
ODU use.
MRC recommends that installations of the MTX5000 IDU and
ODU be carefully considered, especially where the DC power to
the ODU is concerned. All ODUs used to support digital
(COFDM) transmission require higher linearity and therefore
require more input current to the power amplifiers to achieve
acceptable levels of Modulation Error Ratio (MER) performance.
This is especially true of the optional High Power ODUs.
For new Nycoil installations where the cable length is 160 feet
(48.8 M) or less, MRC suggests two 16 AWG multi-strand
conductors in parallel for both power and return. In a new
installation, this is less likely an issue, however for an existing
installation, other alternatives may be more appropriate.
The following factory recommendation applies to existing
installations. At the very least, all cabling in an existing
installation must be inspected to ensure that no corrosion or
broken strands are present, especially if new conductors are not
used.
The acceptable cable lengths for existing Standard power ODU
installations, or alternatives to the recommendation, are provided
in Table 6-3 as a function of mast height. The recommended
lengths are end-to-end cable length vs. mast height.
The acceptable cable lengths for high power ODU installations,
or alternatives to the recommendation, are provided in Table 6-4
on page 6-11 as a function of mast height. The recommended
lengths are end-to-end cable length vs. mast height.

CAUTION To avoid potential problems, existing wiring
harnesses must be carefully examined for
evidence of damage, corrosion, or broken
wire strands.
Any damage detected must be repaired
before a new MTX5000 system is placed
into service.
Note The MTX5000 IDU is available with either the RFU
1 or with both RFU 1 and RFU 2 rear connectors.
If you have only one ODU, disregard connections
and references to the second ODU (RFU 2).
If your MTX5000 IDU and ODU contains the Type “N” connector
RFU 1 and RFU 2 option, the IDU and ODU can be connected
using an existing wiring harness after inspection, subject to the
limits called out in “Cabling Requirements” on page 6-9.
ODU Connections The existing connector(s) at the ODU end of
the wiring harness will connect directly to your MTX5000
ODU(s). Verify that all connections have been completed, as
shown in Figure 6-6 on page 6-12.
IDU Connections At the IDU end of the wiring harness, verify
the connections are as shown in Figure 6-6 on page 6-12.
Connections for ODU 2 (RFU 2) are identical to those for ODU 1
(RFU 1).
The ITT Cannon KPT06F14-12SX connector is utilized on
MTX5000 IDU/ODU configurations that contain the Type “N”
RFU 1 and RFU 2 connector option.

6.9.2 MTX5000 System TNC Connector Interface
CAUTION To avoid potential problems, existing wiring
harnesses must be carefully examined for
evidence of damage, corrosion, or broken
wire strands.
Any damage detected must be repaired
before a new MTX5000 system is placed
into service.
If your MTX5000 IDU and ODU contain the TNC RFU 1 and
RFU 2 connectors, the IDU and ODU can be connected using an
existing harness,
ODU End The existing power connector at the ODU end will
plug in directly to your ODU.
IDU End At the IDU end, the harness connector will not plug
directly into your IDU. You must cut off the terminal block at the
IDU end and must connect the wiring harness to the Weidmuller
connector supplied with the IDU. Verify the new connections are
as shown in Figure 6-7 on page 6-13. Connections for ODU 2
(RFU 2) are identical to ODU 1 (RFU 1).
The actual number of wires in your harness, and their gauges,
may differ from the standard harness. To provide enough current
to the RFU, MRC recommends the minimum power and ground
connections specified in “Cabling Requirements” on page 6-9

6.10 Installing the Fabricated Harness
Wiring mounted in a moving vehicle is subject to extremes of
temperature, humidity, and vibration. MRC recommends the
following good general practices:
• Secure the cabling at close intervals along its entire
length.
• Protect the cabling with additional sheathing or padding
anywhere it passes through a hole or lays against an
obstruction.
• Provide flex relief at any location where the cable must
change direction sharply, to maintain a smooth bend and
prevent kinking.
• Provide strain relief at each connector to absorb any
pulling forces on the cable and prevent damage to the
connector.
6.11 Installing the Outdoor Unit
This section provides the steps required to mount the ODU to a
QuikSet QPT-90 Pan & Tilt Assembly, using the Mounting Plate
that was provided with your MRC antenna. The mounting
hardware is provided with the RFU.
The Mounting Plate is designed to fit the following antennas:
• MRC 2A20/7A30
• MRC 2A20SS/7A30SS
• MRC Ellipse 2000
Details on attaching these antennas to the Mounting Plate can
be found in the installation manual that came with your MRC
antenna.
Installation 6-14MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
If you are installing the RFU in a different configuration, consult
the installation instructions that came with your hardware.
When you have installed the RFU, go to “Making the
Connections” on page 6-15.
6.11.1 Site Preparation
Each installation will be different. In general, MRC recommends
the following sequence:
• Install the mast.
• Lower the fabricated wiring harness over the mast.
• Mount the Pan & Tilt to the mast.
• Mount the RFU(s) to the Pan & Tilt. See ”Mounting the
ODU” .
• Mount the antenna to the Pan & Tilt.
6.11.2 Mounting the ODU

6.12 Making the Connections
Now that the IDU and ODU(s) are in place and the harness is
installed, make the connections at each end of the harness.
While every installation is different, here are some general
guidelines:
• When you’re done making all connections, re-check all
connections before powering up the MTX5000.
• If you need to install the Triax connector(s) onto the cable,
refer to Appendix A, “Installing Triax Connectors” on

6.16 Remote Control Operations
The MTX5000 system may be controlled remotely using either
the optional Windows-based Remote Access Subnotebook PC
or a Windows-based laptop PC. The optional Remote Access
Subnotebook PC is a rugged, low cost, remote control option.
Using either laptop eliminates the need for a separate panel-
mounted remote control panel to control the MTX5000 system.
An RJ-45 crossover cable is required for connection to either PC
for mobile remote control operations. See Figure 6-17 on
page 6-27. The RJ-45 crossover cable is connected between
the MTX5000 IDU rear panel ETHERNET connector and the RJ-
45 connector on the optional Remote Access Subnotebook PC
or Windows-based laptop PC.
An RJ-45 crossover cable is provided with each optional Remote
Access Subnotebook PC. If you use a Windows-based PC in
lieu of the optional Remote Access Subnotebook PC, the RJ-45
crossover cable may be obtained from MRC or from local
electronics stores.

8.1 Chapter Overview
This chapter provides additional details about the design and
function of the MTX5000 Transmitter System (MTX5000). This
chapter is intended to complement information contained in the
“Product Description” Chapter on page 2-1.
The descriptions in this chapter assume you are already familiar
with the information contained in Chapter 2. We recommend you
review that chapter before beginning to read this one.
Here are the topics covered:

video transmission system capable of both analog and digital
operation in different formats. The MTX5000 system provides a
sophisticated user interface with an intuitive keypad scheme,
touch screen, and an adjustable color LCD display. The
MTX5000 system consists of the MTX5000 Indoor Unit (IDU)
and the mast-mounted Outdoor Unit(s) (ODU).
A fully equipped MTX5000 package is HD ready and provides a
robust HD link from field to studio. Several digital video input
formats are accepted, as well as analog composite for Digital
Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DVB-T) and analog FM
transmission. In addition, the MTX5000 can accept several
digital audio input formats and up to four analog audio inputs for
analog or digital transmission.
The MTX5000 has several mast-mounted ODU configurations
available. These ODUs contain integrated RF up conversion
circuitry and high power RF amplifiers for maximum power and
signal quality. With the demands of digital modulation, the ODUs
have been optimized for improved Modulation Error Ratio/Error
Vector Magnitude (MER/EVM) performance with digital
transmissions.
8.2.2 Architecture
The MTX5000 system consists of the IDU and the ODU(s). The
IDU is responsible for video encoding, modulation, system
control, and power distribution. The ODU contains RF up
conversion circuitry and a power amplifier.
The ODU is mounted at the top of the van mast and is
responsible for all aspects of the RF transmission. Modulated
signals are passed from the IDU to the ODU using a 70MHz IF
signal. In addition, the IDU and ODU communicate through a
bidirectional Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) modem. This FSK
link allows the IDU to control, calibrate, and monitor the state of
the mast-mounted ODU.
Theory of Operation 8-2MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
A digital attenuator in the ODU RF chain allows you to transmit at
high or low power or to increment the power in single dB steps
for advanced fine tuning.
Inside the IDU, a control processor is responsible for configuring
the various sub-systems within the radio. The main processor
stores radio information in selectable presets that can be
recalled by the user.
The MTX5000 employs an advanced MPEG video encoder and
digital modulator. The MTX5000 includes the FMT modulator,
COFDM modulator and MPEG encoder, DC power supply, and
signal control and distribution boards, depending upon the
options contained in your MTX5000. A typical functional block
diagram of the MTX5000 is shown in Figure 8-1 on page 8-4.
8.2.3 MPEG Encoding and COFDM Transmission
The MTX5000 is capable of encoding both Standard Definition
and High Definition video (depending on license). Available
inputs include SD Serialized Digital Interface video (SD-SDI),
HD-SDI, and Composite Video (CV). Audio input formats include
analog, AES/EBU, and AC-3 SMPTE-302. The encoder is also
capable of encoding an RS-232 signal as Wayside data.
The MTX5000 is capable of generating a fully DVB-T compliant
output signal. This provides a robust digital link in any hostile
transmission environment.
8.2.4 Analog Video Encoding and FM Modulation
When in the analog FM mode, the MTX5000 will accept a
standard composite video input. It will also accept up to four
analog audio inputs. The FM analog signal is useful when
working with older legacy equipment or when an analog
transmission is desired.
8.2.5 MTX5000 User Interface
Local Mode Operation The MTX5000 IDU front panel provides
monitoring and control of the MTX5000 system. The color LCD
display panel with touch screen and the function keys are used
to select control and diagnostic menu screens for both the IDU
and the ODU.
The user interacts with the system through the touch-screen or
function keys. The user interface is broken into a normal user
mode and a system setup or advanced features mode.
Normal user mode menus permit basic radio control without
exposing you to the more complicated setup features available in
the advanced features sections. The advanced features can be
password protected to prevent an unwitting user from changing
critical settings.
Option buttons displayed on the IDU color LCD display panel are
used to control Preset selection, RF band selection, channel
selection, offset selection, antenna selection, antenna
polarization, transmitter operation (on or off), power (low or
high), and to monitor the status of the IDU and ODU. For
additional information, see the “Routine Operation” Chapter on
page 3-1.
The front panel color LCD display panel is also used to select
local or remote control operation of the MTX5000 system.
Remote Mode Operation The MTX5000 system may also be
operated from a remote location via the ETHERNET connector
mounted on the rear panel of the IDU. The IDU can be
connected to a PC at a remote location via your web browser.
The remote mode allows you to control the MTX5000 in the
normal user mode from the remote location using the PC display,
mouse, and keyboard. You cannot perform system setup
advanced features from the remote location.
Theory of Operation 8-3MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
Control of the local/remote mode of operation can only be
controlled from the IDU. You cannot change the local/remote
operating mode from the remote location.
For more information on remote operation, see “Using the
MTX5000 in Remote Mode” on page 3-60.
8.2.6 ODU RF Output
The MTX5000 communicates with the ODU to set operating
frequencies and power levels. A 70 MHz IF signal is up-
converted to the RF band of operation. Before up conversion, a
digital attenuator adjusts the signal output power based on
calibration data and user input.
8.2.7 MTX5000 Internal Software
The MTX5000 internal software package consists of an
embedded controller software package.
For additional information on user interface through use of the
front panel color LCD display screen with touch screen and
function keys, see the “Routine Operation” Chapter on page 3-1.

8.3 Outdoor Unit Details
The MTX5000 ODU processes the IF signal from the MTX5000
IDU and generates the higher power microwave signal that is fed
to the antenna. The ODU contains the following components:
• An IF interface module, containing a 2 FSK modem. The
modem communicates with the IDU modem to send and
receive alarms and operating data.
• A power supply, which converts the 12 VDC from the IDU
into +15 VDC, -15 VDC, and +5 VDC for use by the other
RFU modules.
• A UHF up-convertor, which converts the 70 MHz IF signal
to 900 MHz.
• A 3 GHz local oscillator, whose frequency is set by a
control voltage from the interface module (a Voltage-
Controlled Oscillator, or VCO).
• A microwave mixer/up-convertor that mixes the 3 GHz
with the the 900 MHz signal, to produce the frequency
desired. For the 7 GHz and 13 GHz bands, this also
includes a frequency doubler or tripler.
• A bandpass filter to eliminate unwanted frequency
components.
• A Power Amplifier (PA) that amplifies the resulting signal
to the power level desired.
A functional block diagram of the ODU is shown in Figure 8-2.

Installing Triax Connectors
A.1 Appendix Overview
Installing Triax connectors on a Triax cable is an exacting job. If
not performed correctly, it can lead to intermittent or permanent
failures due to vibration, moisture, etc.
As a service to our customers, MRC is providing a copy of our
Triax Cable Assembly Instructions. We have found this
procedure to work well and the results to be reliable.
A.2 Sealing
For any outdoor application, such as mast top connections, we
recommend you seal all connections with self-fusing butyl rubber
or silicone tape. Ordinary plastic electrical tape and cloth
friction tape are not recommended.
A good general practice is as follows:
• Connect and tighten the connector
• Begin wrapping the tape tightly against the enclosure, and
wrap in a spiral back toward the cable
• Overlap each turn with the next turn by about half its width
• Continue wrapping and overlapping until the tape extends
at least 2 inches beyond the connector.
Self-fusing tape can be purchased from industrial supply
companies such as Grainger (www.grainger.com) and
McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com). Self-fusing tape is also
available at larger hardware stores such as DoitBest.com
(www.doitbest.com).

B.2 Description
B.2.1 Functions
The CBG provides the following functions:
• Inserts a color bar pattern conforming to SMPTE
Engineering Guideline EG 1-1990 for SMPTE Color Bars
• Inserts test tones of 440 Hz and 1 kHz
• Lets you create and edit two lines of text that can be
added to the color bar display, at locations you select
• Allows you to control when the color bars and tones are
added to the transmitted signal and when to automatically
place the MTX5000 IDU into the standby mode.
B.2.2 Operating Modes
The CBG has four operating modes that are selected using the
MTX5000 IDU color LCD display panel touch screen and/or
function keys. The four operating modes are displayed on the
color LCD display panel Color Bars screen and are identified as
follows:
•Off - Color bars and audio test tones are turned off.
•On - Color bars and/or audio test tones are continuously
on.
•A Gen (Auto Generated) - If a loss of video signal occurs,
color bars and/or audio test tones are transmitted after a
programmable delay.
•A Stby (Auto Standby) - If a loss of video signal occurs,
the transmitter is automatically placed into standby (PA
turned off).
Analog Color Bar Generator B-2MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
B.2.3 Configuration
Each of the four operating modes can be configured to meet
your needs. Configuration is accomplished using four push
button switches mounted on the CBG board. Configuration is
normally performed only when the MTX5000 IDU is first
installed, or if the CBG has been replaced by the factory.
Configuring the CBG will include specifying the following:
• If the CBG will generate audio tones, video color bars, or
both
• What text will be displayed on screen whenever the color
bars are displayed. There are two lines of text: Text Line
A and Text Line B. Each line contains 16 character fields.
Each character field can display any character in the full
character set.
• Where each text line is displayed on the screen
• Which characters in a text line are visible on the default
screen and which are hidden
• The foreground and background colors of the text lines
• The length of time (delay) the CBG will wait after loss of
video signal before it begins generating tones and/or bars.
Configuration of the CBG consists of selecting the characters for
each of the two lines of text and for a seven-character control
line.
B.2.4 Technical Background
The CBG includes circuits that provide both a video signal, and
audio test tones of 1 kHz and 400 Hz on separate audio
channels (1 kHz on Audio 1, 440 Hz on Audio 2).
Text lines and parameters are stored in memory and are
controlled by a microprocessor. A video detection circuit notifies
the processor whenever a valid external video signal is present.
Non-volatile memory preserves parameters and transmitter ID
information. Once set, no battery or other power is required to
save these parameters.
B.3 Configuration
B.3.1 General
Configuration of the CBG involves using the MTX5000 IDU color
LCD display panel touch screen or function keys, four control
switches on the CBG board (See Figure B-1 on page B-3), and
an external monitor to enter text for the text lines and the
numerical parameters for the control line.
The MTX5000 IDU must be removed from its mounting rack (if
installed). The top cover panel must then be removed to allow
connection between the external monitor and the CBG and to
allow access to the four control switches. Steps are provided in
the following procedures to set all parameters in the CBG.
To avoid potential operator problems that could impact operation
of the MTX5000 System, the IDU color LCD display panel Color
Bars screen Off option must be selected when procedures
contained in this Appendix are completed.
When performance of these procedures is complete, perform
“Select Color Bar Generator Mode” on page 3-52 to select the
CGB operating mode required for Analog Preset operations.

B.3.2 Entering Characters
Entering characters utilizes the four CBG control switches in a
similar way to the four arrow keys on a standard computer
keyboard. See Figure B-2. In order to maximize your control
using only four switches, each switch has multiple functions
depending on whether the CBG is in character mode or subset
mode.
Figure B-2: Button Functions
Character Mode In the character mode, scrolling up or down
with switches 1 and 3 will change the highlighted character one
character up or down in the full character set. See Table B-3 on
page B-17.
Subset Mode To make editing the text lines faster, the full
character set is divided into subsets. You can jump from one
subset to the next instead of scrolling through the full character
set one character at a time.
In subset mode, scrolling up or down with switches 1 and 3 will
change the highlighted character one subset up or down within
the list of subsets. See Table B-4 on page B-18.

Hiding Characters If you wish to hide any characters in the
default display, press switches 1 and 3 simultaneously while the
CBG is in subset mode. That character will show in inverse
video and will be hidden from the default display. That character
can still be viewed and changed in the editing mode. A black
background is a hidden character; a white background is a
character that is not hidden.
B.3.3 Preliminary Setup Procedure
