SETUP GUIDE FOR
«MCP-400» MODULATORS
USING THE SPI-300 PROGRAMMING UNIT
Programming the MCP-400 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-400 modulators is the following :
MCP-422
F01.02
Out.Freq.: 687.25
These are the meanings of the expressions and data displayed :
- Name of the module.
- "F-.-" : Version of the firmware (the firmware is the software stored in the module
that manages its basic running).
- "Output Frequency" : Is the video carrier of the output TV channel, in MHz.
- "Alarm" : Informs about the existence or not of module working failures.
- "Audio" : Displays the Audio Mode (mono, stereo, dual) that is selected in the
modulator.
- "TV System" : Is the TV system (fixed or selected) of the output TV channel.
The screen closes using the OK command (key

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 modulators are the following:
- Settings Menu : Contains all the setting parameters of the connected modulator,
grouped by sections which are displayed on one or several screens. There are
three sections :
RF : You must select it to set the parameter values related to the RF output

Video : Allows to select the available video options.
●
Audio : Idem, the audio options.
●
- Info Menu: Allows to get access to detailled information about the funtionning of
