6. Walkthrough: Generation of a ISDB-Tmm RF signal
This walkthrough will guide you through the generation of an ISDB-Tmm RF signal.
- Start TmmXpress application
TmmXpress can be started from the start menu or using the desktop shortcut.
After start-up all ISDB-T parameters are set to default values.
- Set general ISDB-Tmm parameters
The sub-channel specifies the sub-channel of the centre segment of the connected ISDB-Tmm
segments.
- Select the source and set layer parameters
For each block of 13- 3- or 1-segments select the transport stream source, double click on the
source parameter and select a transport-stream file. If the file has valid TMCC information, these
ISDB-T parameters can be used by checking the “Use TMCC info” checkbox; otherwise the layer-
mapping has to be specified manually.
If the TMCC is used, the layer parameters are fixed and cannot be changed.
To add a transport stream right-click the mouse in parameter area and select: Add TS.
Alternatively, the Insert key can be used.
To remove a complete TS, select the TS then right-click the mouse and select: Remove TS. The
shortcut key in this case is Delete.
To navigate through the layer parameters, use the arrow keys. After selection you can press the
Enter key to modify the parameter. When done, press the Enter key for further navigation.
- Set Output Format
Set the Format to RF, thereafter you can specify the output adapter, RF frequency and RF level.
- Check Status Bar
The status bar should indicate: Parameter set is valid. If otherwise, correct the settings.
- Save TmmXpress-Settings
Optionally save the current TmmXpress settings to file by pressing the save button in the
toolbar, or selecting Save File in the menu bar.
- Generate RF signal
The generation of the RF signal can be started by pressing the Generate output button in the
toolbar, or selecting Generate output in the menu bar.
The generation can be stopped by pressing the Cancel generation button
in the toolbar, or
selecting Cancel generation in the menu bar.
