Modular Receiver Decoder
The MRD 3187B Receiver Decoder is the industry's only professional multi-format modular receiver decoder available today. Installed by more broadcast, cable, satellite, and telco service providers, and across a wider range of applications than any other multi-format receiver decoder. The MRD 3187B receiver decoder sets the standard for performance, scalable functionality and cost of ownership. The award winning architecture of the MRD 3187B adapts to changes well beyond most competitive receiver decoders, allowing hardware and software features to be upgraded in the field (often while still in the rack).
The MRD 3187B supports virtually any application by combining dual-channel processing capability with MPEG2, H.264, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, SD, and HD video decoding. With the wide range of interfaces, the MRD 3187B adapts to contribution, distribution, or backhaul environment while allowing easy upgrade paths to future technologies. All of this makes the MRD 3187B receiver decoder the only choice for operators seeking a truly future-proof solution. The MRD 3187B expands the functionality of the award winning MRD 3187A receiver decoder by adding features such as DVB-CI and SCTE35/104 messaging support.
Versatile Modular Platform
Preserve capital investments by purchasing only the functions required today, and seamlessly scale to the functionality needed tomorrow.
Future-Proof Interface Upgrades
As new technologies emerge for next generation contribution links, the MRD's interface options and backplane routing architecture make the transitions simple and cost effective.
Wide Range of Inputs and Outputs
The MRD 3187B can support multiple inputs and outputs for seamless integration into a wide variety of system architectures.
Easy System Integration
The SNMP MIB is integrated with many of the industry's most popular automation and network equipment management and monitoring systems.
Multiple Channel Processing
The MRD 3187B supports up to two video decoders and four audio decoders. These decoders can be configured as two completely independent receiver decoder systems to decode two separate channels. Or, they can be configured to process the same channel twice, providing an HD and SD output simultaneously from a HD source.
Contribution Reception and Turn-Around
Receive network and live feeds via RF, ASI, or IP, and simultaneously demodulate, de-encapsulate, encapsulate, and/or decode to multiple formats of your choice for local processing and re-encode requirements.
Local Reception and Integration
Receive local content off-air or through fiber feeds and simultaneously provide compressed and decoded/downconverted outputs to feed your distribution network.
Backhaul and Interconnection
Easily convert transport streams from RF carriers, to serial transport streams, or to/from IP datagram's to seamlessly transfer content through your network.
Advanced Digital Cue Tone Support
Retain commercial ad avails through the re-encode chain by receiving the SCTE35 messages, converting them to SCTE104 messages, and embedding them in the VANC of the SDI output.
GENERAL
The MRD 3187B receiver decoder solutions provide operators a choice of I/O options required today, and the flexibility to easily change in the future. The modular design of the MRD 3187B allows the operator to customize a compact, modular chassis with a variety of input and output modules.
