Theory of Operation This section describes the basic operation of the major circuit blocks or modules in the MTX100A. The Diagrams section, beginning on page 6-1, includes a block diagram and an interconnect diagram. A12 Main Board The A12 Main board consists of the following blocks: PCI Interface The PCI interface consists of a PCI target and a PCI master.
The interrupt controller sends the following interruption signals to the CPU: Play FIFO empty, Record FIFO full, external trigger, 10 Hz, Playout DMA transfer finished, and Record DMA transfer finished. These interruptions can be disabled by the MTX100A application software. At power on, all interruptions are disabled. TS Clock Generator The TS clock generator consists of a VCO (Voltage Control Oscillator), phase detector, frequency divider.

Page 45
Sync Bit is detected. The data rate of FIFO input port is equal to the data transfer rate of MTX100A, and that of output port is 216 Mbps (with the clock of 27 MHz), which is used for the ASI output.
The Data Valid signal, which indicates the location in which the data exists, is also sent together with the data; it is possible to reconfigure the received data as a serial data string from the intermittently transmitted data. MTX100A MPEG Recorder & Player Service Manual...
Page 47
Sync Bit is detected. The data rate of FIFO input port is equal to the data transfer rate of MTX100A, and that of the output port is 216 Mbps (with a clock of 27 MHz), which is used for the ASI output.
Page 48
The circuit sends information of 1, 2, or 3 to the application when the packet size is 188, 204, or 208, respectively. Otherwise, it sends information of zero (0). This information is needed to use the through mode for the IEEE1394 output. MTX100A MPEG Recorder & Player Service Manual...
When the data rate from the MTX100A storage (hard disk or RAM) is lower than 216Mbps, it is possible to select whether to sparsely output all the data or to output the data on a packet-by-packet basis as the ASI output.

H Troubleshooting — Information for isolating and troubleshooting failed modules. Troubleshooting trees are included. H Using the Recovery Discs — Procedures for reinstalling the Windows XP operating system and the MTX100A application if the MTX100A does not boot. Related Maintenance Procedures The following sections contain information and procedures related to mainte- nance.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in the MTX100A. Preventing ESD When performing any service which requires internal access to the MTX100A, adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and their components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
MTX100A is used. General Care The cabinet helps keep dust out of the MTX100A, and is needed to meet EMI and cooling requirements. The cabinet should be in place when operating the MTX100A. The front cover protects the front panel and display from dust and damage.
Cleaning Procedure — Exterior. To clean the MTX100A exterior, perform the following steps: 1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the MTX100A with a lint free cloth. 2. Remove remaining dirt with a lint free cloth dampened in a general purpose detergent-and-water solution.
Maintenance Inspection — Interior. To access the inside of the MTX100A for inspection and cleaning, refer to the Removal and Installation Procedures in this section. Inspect the internal portions of the MTX100A for damage and wear, using Table 4-2 as a guide. Defects found should be repaired immediately.
Page 112
STOP. If, after performing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean upon inspection, skip the remaining steps. 3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the MTX100A may be spray washed using a solution of ethyl alcohol by performing steps 4 through 8.
WARNING. Before performing this or any other procedure in this manual, read the Safety Summary found at the beginning of this manual. Also, to prevent possible injury to service personnel or damage to components of the MTX100A, read Installation in Section 2, and Preventing ESD in this section.
First read over the Summary of Procedures that follows to understand how the procedures are grouped. Then read Equipment Required for a list of the tools needed to remove and install modules in the MTX100A. If you are removing a module for service, begin by performing the procedure Access Procedure (page 4-14).
Removal and Installation Procedures Required Equipment. Most modules in this MTX100A can be removed with a screwdriver handle mounted with a size T-10 Torx screwdriver tip. Use this tool whenever a procedure step instructs you to remove or install a screw unless a different size screwdriver is specified in that step.
