SETUP GUIDE FOR
THE «MCP-800» TWIN MODULATORS
USING THE SPI-300 PROGRAMMING UNIT
Programming the MCP-800 Modulators
1. THE START SCREENS
1.1 - Module Basic Information
As explained in the Basic Handling guide supplied with the SPI-300, when you
connect this to the module all data for identification, configuration and status of the
module are loaded on the SPI-300. A detection screen appears for a short time, and
next the display shows the Basic Information screen, which identifies the module and
presents its most representative configuration and status data.
The basic information screen for the MCP-800 twin modulators is the following :
MCP-801
F01.06
Freq.1: 471.25 - BG
Freq.2: 479.25 - BG
These are the meanings of the expressions and data displayed :
- Model.
- "F-.-" : Version of the firmware (the firmware is the software stored in the module
that manages its basic running).
- "Alarm" : Informs about the existence or not of working failures.
- "Audio 1" and "Audio 2" : Informs about the Audio Mode (mono, stereo, dual)
selected for each one of the two output channels.
- "Frequency 1" and "Frequency 2" : They are the video carrier frequencies, in MHz,
of the two output TV channels.
- "TV Systems" : They are the TV systems of the two output channels, being the
normal that the system be the same for both channels. They are indicated in the
same screen lines of the aforesaid frequencies.
The screen closes using the OK command (key
appears (page 8 of the Basic Handling guide).

1.2 - Main Menus
As explained in the Basic Handling guide, the General menu is identical for all the
modules and its contents was described on page 8. The Settings and Info menus
include, however, options and information which are peculiar to each type of module.
Those of the MCP-800 modulators are the following:
- Settings menu : It presents a previous screen on which you must select what
section of the twin modulator you want to programme. Once the selection is
made, the particular screen with the RF, Video and Audio options appears.

Mod.1 Settings
2
Mod.2 Settings
ESC
RF : You must select it to set the parameter values related to the RF output
●
signal of the modulator.
●
Video : Allows to select the available video options.
●
Audio : Idem, the audio options.
The last line of the screen shows the "M1" or M2" expression depending on you
have selected Modulator 1 Settings or Modulator 2 Settings in the previous
screen. This expression is maintained in the next programming screens,
indicating at any time the section of the modulator that is being currently set.
NOTE : When you want to change the section of the modulator from whatever screen, select
repeatedly the ESC or CANCEL command until you reach the selection screen shown
above left.
- Info Menu: Allows to get access to detailled information about the funtionning of
the module, further on the one provided by the basic information screen (see
previous page). Information is distributed in two screens, each one related to a
menu option:
