2. Getting Started

2.1 Introduction

This section provides a walkthrough for getting started with the DTM-3200. Two set-ups are

described: one for receiving a Transport Stream over IP (TSoIP) and converting it to ASI, and one the

other way around, receiving ASI and converting it to TSoIP.
The description below assumes that the DTM-3200 development kit (see Appendix B) is used to
control the DTM-3200 over USB from a development PC. The GUI tool Dtm3200Util is used to

apply settings and observe status.

2.2 Configuration #1: Converting TSoIP to ASI

This set-up will receive a TSoIP stream and transmit the stream on the ASI interface.

2.2.1 Test set-up

For testing this configuration, a TSoIP transmitter

should be present on the network to generate a

TSoIP test signal. To observe the output of the DTM-3200, an ASI receiver is helpful.
This tutorial assumes that the network dynamically assigns IP addresses through DHCP, and that the

source generates a TSoIP stream with the following parameters:

Protocol

UDP

Destination address

224.1.1.1

UDP Port

5678

2.2.2 Configuring the TSoIP to ASI conversion

Using Dtm3200Util, configure the DTM-3200 as shown in the table below. The receive process is

first disabled before changing configuration parameters. When all parameters have been set, the

DTM-3200 is enabled again.
