2.0 Theory of Operation
The MHPT accepts either a SDI, ASI, composite, component or a S-video signal, analog
stereo audio inputs (Mic or Line level), and a RS232 data input. The video is compressed
according to MPEG-2 specifications. However, unlike other MPEG-2 systems, all of the
high-frequency video signal components are preserved. The audio is converted to a 728kb/s
stream. The audio, video and data packet streams are multiplexed with basic service data to
indicate the service name. The stream can be scrambled with either a simple fixed-key
scrambling or AES scrambling system to provide protection in sensitive applications.
The video and audio are compressed (ASI data streams are passed through bypassing the MPEG
encoder) according to MPEG specifications (Video MPEG-2 and Audio MPEG-1 layer II). The MPEG-2
supports 4:2:0 Chroma sampling, MP@ML and SP@ML profiles and maintains the original signal’s video
fidelity. The audio and video program element streams are multiplexed with basic service data to
indicate the service name into a DVB compliant Transport Stream (TS).
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 the 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 MHPT/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 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.

4.0 Software Overview
Configuration, control and monitoring of the MHPT unit is accomplished by using GMS’ optional (sold
separately) MS Windows-based MHPT Configurator software program. This Graphical User Interface
(GUI) program provides the end user with a straightforward way to interface with the MHPT. During
normal operation, once a HP-MDL link is established, the MHPT Configurator GUI does not need to be
active and can be disconnected from the MHPT.
4.1
System Requirements
The MHPT Configurator program has been developed and tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows NT. Although the MHPT 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.
4.2
Installation
The following instructions outline the installation process for the MHPT Configurator program:
1. Insert provided CD-ROM into computer.
2. Click on ‘setup.exe’ file. This will launch the GMS_HMT Configurator Setup program and
several initial setup files will begin to be copied onto the computer.
3. After the initial setup files are copied over, the GMS_MHPT Configurator Setup program
will prompt the user to close any applications that are running. Once all other programs are
exited, click on the ‘OK’ button.
4. The GMS_MHPT Setup program will prompt the user to click on the ‘computer icon’ button
to begin installation. If desired, the user can change the destination directory from the
default. Click on the ‘computer icon’ button.
5. The GMS_MHPT Setup program will then prompt the user to ‘Choose Program Group’. If
desired, the user can change the program group from the default. Click on the ‘Continue’
button.
6. After installing the MHPT Configurator program, it will display a window indicating that
setup was completed successfully. Click ‘OK’.
4.3
MHPT Configurator Functions
The MHPT Configurator program provides the user access to many different configuration, control
and monitoring options. When the MHPT Configurator program is launched, the screen shown in
Figure 2 is displayed. The user should first select the serial port their computer is connected to via
the Serial Port Selector and Status region. If the selected serial port is valid, the gray-colored status
box will show ‘Ready. To configure a SDMT, select the ‘SDMT’ box in the Device Selector region.
Once the ‘SDMT’ box is selected, the screen shown in Figure 3 is displayed. The MHPT
Configurator program contains function buttons and all the configurable settings available on a
MHPT. The following sections explain, in detail, the various options.

they are not shown.
•
“Enable All” Button: 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” Button: 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” Button: 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.
•
“Update” Button: Clicking on this button performs a write operation on all the fields that
have their check box enabled. Once clicked, all the selected fields will be written to with the
value denoted in their respective field.
•
“CLR” Button: 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 a ‘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.

RF Output attenuation – The RF out can be attenuated in 1 dB
increments up to a frequency band defined max.
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.
Sleep 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.
Frequency switch – choices offered are enabled or disabled. These
are the four frequency select switches discussed under section 5.1.2. If
disabled the switches will not respond to changes (frequency changes
could still be accomplish by changing the “RF FREQ MHz” field in the
GMS SDMT control software. Enabling them allows the frequency to be
changed when the switches are moved. Factory default enables the
switches. Keep in mind that you must click on the “Store All Setup
Pages” button for any new selection to take place.

5.0 Getting Started
The standard MHPT kit includes the following items:
MHPT unit (Example p/n MHPTS2HC0N1)
MHPT Power cable (GMS p/n 780-C0219)
MHPT Audio cable (GMS p/n 780-C0218)
MHPT Communication cable (GMS p/n 780-C0217)
(Data, Control interfaces)
NOTE: Based on customer application GMS may deliver additional cables and antennas. Contact GMS
for further information.
The MHPT is pre-configured by GMS prior to shipment (based on customer requirements), thus is
ready to work “right out of the box”.
5.1
Initial Checkout
Prior to installing a MHPT 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 9 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, shown in Figure 10, is shown below.

1. Install omni-directional antennas onto the MHPT RF output port and Down- Converter (D/C) RF
input port. Note: Transmitters should not be powered on without a load. Doing so
could cause the output PA to stop working. A proper heat sink is also required.
2. Attach the power cable (780-C0219X1) to the MHPT unit.
3. Attach a RF cable from the D/C IF output port to RF in port of the receiver.
4. Attach a composite video source to MHPT 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.
5. To prepare to power the MHPT 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) needs to be able to provide at least 12 Amps of current at a nominal +12VDC
input if configured for 12 V input. (6 Amps if configured for 28 V input)
6. Turn on the video source and video monitor equipment.
7. Apply power to the MHPT 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.
8. 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 (MSR) is tuned to the same frequency and bandwidth as the transmitter.
(See MSR manual 100-M0061)
The initial checkout described above is simply to check the basic video operation of the MHPT
unit. For further details on monitoring and controlling the MHPT using GMS’ optional MS
Windows-based MHPT Configurator software program, see Section 6.0.

6.10 MHPT Special Features
Video Only Mode
In applications where audio is not required, the audio channels can automatically be switched off. Bit rate
is automatically switched over to the video channel in this situation.
Monochrome Video Mode (custom option, consult factory)
Surveillance applications often do not require chrominance data in the video. HPMT has been provided
with a luminance (monochrome) only mode. When in this mode, bit rate is saved giving sharper
monochrome pictures.
Security Option
The HPMT can optionally be provided with an Advanced Encryption System (AES) for protecting the signal
in sensitive applications.

7.0 The D/C (Down Converter)/IF frequencies explained
7.1
•
IF Frequencies
GMS’ MDRs (Messenger Digital Receivers) and MSRs (Messenger Smart Receivers) are capable of
receiving direct frequencies in the range of approximately 49 MHz to 861 MHz. If the transmitter
is not in this range then a down-converter is used to convert the frequency to this range. The
frequency from the down-converter is called the IF (intermediate frequency) which is fed to the
receiver.
Down-converters have a LO (local oscillator) which is mixed with the transmitter frequency (SDMT)
and converts it to the IF frequency. MDRs need to know the LO (local oscillator) of the downconverter and is factory programmed with this information (MSRs also need the LO information
but is not factory programmed with this information). The receiver then automatically calculates
the IF frequency once the RF (transmitter frequency) is entered. Thus as the desired RF frequency
is dialed in on the MDR (or MSR) the IF is taken care of automatically. For example, if the
transmitter frequency (HPMT) is set for 2000 MHz, then the MDR can be set for 2000 MHz (it
automatically calculates the IF frequency based on pre-programmed LO information of the downconverter). The IF frequency changes as the RF frequency changes; the LO remains constant.
On non-GMS commercial digital receiver it may be necessary to program the receiver with the IF
frequency directly. The user may have to do the simple math to arrive at the IF frequency so that it
can be entered into the receiver. The down-converter LO must be known. The math involve is
as follows: “ RF (transmitter frequency) – LO (local oscillator) = IF frequency”. For example, it the
transmitter is set for 2000 MHz and the LO of the down-converter is 2800 MHz then the IF
frequency is -800 MHz (2000-2800 MHz = -800). The receiver will need to be set to 800 MHz to
receive the transmitter frequency of 2000 MHz. Each time the transmitter frequency is changed the
IF must be re-calculated and entered into the receiver. It must also be mentioned, as you may have
noticed, a negative LO may indicate the receiver wants the signal to be inverted. See section 6.3.3.2
for inverting the signal.
7.2
Local and Remote Power
Customers may have the option of using remote or local power to power up a down converter
depending on the receiver used. GMS’ MDRs (Messenger Digital Receiver) and MSRs (Messenger Smart
Receiver) can provide DC +12 volts to power the D/C remotely through the RF cables. Refer to GMS’
MDRs or MSRs operating instructions for turning on the DC power for the D/C when using remote
power.
If the D/C is located relatively close to the receiver then using remote power makes sense. However, if
the D/C is located at great distances away from the receiver there may be excessive DC voltage drop in
the coax cable (due to cable resistances). If this is the case then local DC power should be considered
as discussed below. If unsure of the DC voltage drop measure the DC voltage present (using a DMM) at
the end of the coax cable run. The D/C normal operating voltage is approximately +12Vdc but can
operate down to +10Vdc.
•
Local power is provided by applying +12Vdc to pin 1, GND to pin 3 of the DB-9 connector located on
the bottom of the D/C. The +12 Volt power supply must be able to source at least 500 mA. The power
switch (located on the side of the D/C) enables the user to control the ‘ON’/’OFF’ positions for local
100-M0075X1

power. If using local power then ensure the remote power (if the receivers have this capability) is
turned off.

8.0 Cable Losses
8.1
Coax Cable
Cable losses must be taken into consideration if the D/C is located a great distance from the
receiver. As mentioned above long cable runs can contribute to more resistance in the lines and also
can contribute to signal attenuation because of the additional capacitance. Even when using a good
coax cable such as RG59/U the attenuation of the signal can be significant. For example, RG59/U
coax will drop approximately 2 dB per 100 feet at 50 MHz and 8dB per 100 feet at 900 MHz. The
intermediate frequency (IF) in this system can fall between 49 MHz to 850 MHz. An inline amplifier
matching the cable losses should be considered if losses exceed 6 dB
