How to Use This Manual
Since the MRD 3187B is a modular device, this manual is arranged according to the specific
option cards available. During configuration steps, all button presses are indicated by a picture
of the actual button.
The beginning of each section includes a short description of the section, along with a section
specific table of contents.
When using this manual, many extra pieces of useful information are inserted where pertinent
and are designated in the following forms:
Note
Designator: Note: “ ” Description: These items are little extra pieces of information to ease unit configuration
Caution
Designator: CAUTION: “ ”Description: These items should be seriously considered before configuring a setting.
Warning
Designator: Warning: “ ” or WARNING
Description: These items indicate actions that could have severe consequences.
Factory Configurations
The MRD 3187B is an extremely versatile piece of equipment and in order to further expand its
capabilities its internal setup can be factory configured in a number of different ways.
Configuration 1 “Config 1” (No Decoder)
This configuration slaves the internal backplanes to one another but provides no decoded video
output. The placement of input cards can be in both RDS1 and RDS2 (Slots 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-2, 23, 2-4). No video output cards may be installed. This configuration is usually used as a satellite
receiver or in combination with an MPEG/IP card to encapsulate the TS from the active input
and transmit it via IP.
Configuration 1 “Config 1” (Single Decoder)
This configuration slaves the internal backplanes to one another and provides one video output.
The placement of input cards can be in both RDS1 and RDS2 (Slots 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4).
Video outputs cards may only be placed in slot 1-1. This configuration allows for the tuning of
two independent audio services. Only one input may be active and only one program decoded at
any time.
Page 4
MRD 3187B User Manual
Configuration 1 “Config 1” (Dual Decoder)
This configuration slaves the internal backplanes to one another and provides two mirrored video
outputs. The placement of input cards can be in both RDS1 and RDS2 (Slots 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-2,
2-3, 2-4). Video outputs cards may be placed in slots 1-1 and 2-1. This configuration allows for
the tuning of four independent audio services. This configuration is commonly used to provide
an HD and SD video output from the same input signal. Only one input may be active and only
one program decoded at any time.
Configuration 2 “Config 2” (No Decoder)
This configuration utilizes the internal backplanes independent from one another allowing one
MRD to input two independent inputs simultaneously. With this configuration, the MRD
essentially acts like two configuration 1 no decoder units in the in the rack space of one MRD.
One input per RDS can be active.
Configuration 2 “Config 2” (Single Decoder)
This configuration utilizes the internal backplanes independent from one another. This
configuration operates identical to a configuration 1 unit except for input cards placed in RDS2
(Slots 2-2, 2-3, 2-4) cannot be decoded. A popular use of this configuration is to place an RF
card and an ASI card (i.e. 8701A and 8702) in RDS2 to provide RF input and ASI output to act
as an 8-VSB or satellite receiver. The bottom RDS may then be used independently to decode a
different independent input.
Configuration 2 “Config 2” (Dual Decoder)
This configuration utilizes the internal backplanes independent from one another allowing one
MRD to input and decode two independent inputs simultaneously. With this configuration, the
MRD essentially acts like two configuration 1 single decoder units in the in the rack space of one
decoder. One input per RDS can be active and decode unique video simultaneously.

Introduction
This section includes an overview of the MRD 3187B.
2.1FRONT OF UNIT .................................................................................................................................................. 14
2.2REAR OF UNIT .................................................................................................................................................... 14
The following figure shows a typical screen on the front panel. Several important features have
been circled and noted below. These features are common to all screens and assist when
navigating, viewing and editing unit information. The button will return the user to the
home level while in any screen. In order to edit a selected parameter, the button must be
pressed. Once a parameter has been changed, the button must be pressed again before the
change takes effect on the unit. Pressing the button will leave an edit mode without
changes taking effect.
1. Icons indicate which control buttons are currently valid for entry.
2. Screen title.
3. Cursor shows which line is active.
4. When editing, active character or item is highlighted.
2.4 Front Panel Indicators
The MRD 3187B has four internal error parameters: INPUT, DECODER, FAN and
TEMPERATURE. These parameters can be monitored locally or remotely. Locally the unit’s
status can be checked by visually looking at the INPUT LED and the ERROR LED on the front
Page 14
MRD 3187B User Manual
panel, then use the “Error List” under the button to pinpoint the error. Remotely, the unit’s
status can be checked by using the web client and looking at the status icons on the top of the
main window. To see a detailed list of errors, click on the tab from the web client.
The INPUT LED indicates the presence of a stream at the user-selected
input. “Stream present” is represented by a green INPUT LED while
“stream NOT present” is represented by a dark INPUT LED.
The ERROR LED represents the combined status of the unit’s error
indicators. If INPUT, DECODER, TEMP, or FAN status is in the error
state, the LED will be red. If all error indicators are good, the LED will be
dark.
2.5 Input Error Logic
The input status is based on the selected input card’s status and the transport error indicator bit
in the transport stream being decoded. For example if the current input is VSB, the input status
is based on: VSB receiver lock, RF channel level, and the MER level. The RF channel and
MER thresholds can be set by the user. If the unit detects the presence of the transport error bit
in a transport packet header, the input status will be an error for 0.5 seconds each time the TS
error bit is set. The system must detect a constant cadence of sync bytes (0x47h) every 188
bytes and detect a valid PAT at least every 500 ms in order for the INPUT LED to illuminate.
2.6 Decoder Error Logic
The decoder error indicator is based on the decoder’s ability to decode what the user has
requested. The input status will be alarmed differently depending on the current decoding mode:
In “Auto Mode,” the decoder status will be good unless the Video or Audio decoders cannot
decode a stream. For example: a stream defines program 4 to have video on PID 52. If PID
52 is not actually present in the stream, or is un-decodable, the decoder status will be in the
error state. This is true for all modes.
In “PID Lock Mode,” the decoder status will be good if all of the PIDs entered by the user,
for video and audio, are being decoded by the unit. If the user wants nothing to be decoded,
they can set a PID to 0. If the user enters a PID which is not present or cannot be decoded
the decoder status will be in the error state.
In “Program Priority Mode,” the decoder status will be good if any priority is currently active
and the Audio and Video represented by that priority are being decoded. If the PMT for a
selected program lists a video or audio PID, but the decoder cannot decode that PID, the
indicator will be in the error state. If the user enters an index for a priority that does not exist
in the PMT, the indicator will still be good because the decoder will be set to decode nothing
on that audio output.2.7 Temperature Error Logic
The temperature error indicator is based on the correct operation of the unit. If the unit’s
temperature exceeds 70 degrees C, the temperature status will be in the error state.
Page 15
MRD 3187B User Manual
2.8 Fan Error Logic
If the fan in the unit fails, the fan status will be in the error state. The fan status will be good as
long as the fan is spinning at the proper RPM.
2.9 SNMP Traps
The unit contains separate SNMP Traps for Fan Status, Temperature Status, Decoder Status,
Input Status, and IP Receive Group. Whenever any item changes state, a trap is sent to the
configured host.
2.10 Input/Output Slot Organization
The MRD 3187B’s modular design allows many different input/output configurations. An
indexing system is used to identify module slots for
configuration and monitoring reference. The bottom
row of slots is numbered 1-1 through 1-4 (left to
right). The top row is numbered 2-1 through 2-4 as
shown.

3.2 8VSB/QAM Receiver – Option 8701A
This card will receive a TS that is demodulated from an 8VSB signal or it will demodulate a
QAM64B or QAM256B RF input. With an 8VSB input, the card will tune to channels 2 – 69.
With a QAM input, the card will tune to channels 2 – 134 in three cable frequency bands (FCC,
IRC, and HRC). The MRD 3187B will show a valid input if the following conditions are met:
the receiver equalizer and the FEC are locked. If the RF level is lower than the “Low Warning
Setting” or the MER is lower than the “Low MER Warning Setting,” the red “Error” LED will
illuminate on the front panel and there will be an error recorded in the Error List.
3.3 Serial Transport Stream I/O (DVB-ASI/SMPTE 310M) – Option 8702
This card will receive a TS from either a DVB-ASI input or a SMPTE 310M input. Only one
format may be selected at a time. For an ASI input, the bitrate of the TS must be between
1.5Mb/s and 160Mb/s. For a SMPTE 310M input, the bitrate of the TS must be 19.392658Mb/s.
The selected input format will also be the output format. The 8702 card can also be used as a TS
output for any of the other input cards.
3.4 High Bit Rate ASI Input – Option 8703
This card will receive, up to a 160Mb/s MPTS on ASI. This card is equipped with a passive
loop-through to allow the TS to be passed through the card without altering the stream. The

Closed caption (NTSC), detected in the transport stream, can be inserted on line 21 of the
composite (NTSC video) output.
This card allows the output of both Digital-AES and analog audio. Each digital audio output can
be set to either Raw or PCM. In Raw, the compressed audio for the selected PID is passed
through to the digital output. Typically this setting is used to pass-through the Dolby AC-3
compressed digital signal. When the digital audio output is set to PCM, two-channel linear coded
PCM AES/EBU audio is output to the digital output. The analog output provides two-channel (L,
R) decoded analog audio from the selected audio processor. The two audio processors on the
decoder board, feeding the two digital outputs, can process or decode Dolby AC-3, MPEG Layer
1, or MPEG Layer 2 formats. The audio processor will self-sense which type of audio is in the
TS. The 8707A also has a Dolby E parsing feature.
3.9 Video Output (2 HD/SH-SDI, 1 RGBHV/YPbPr/Composite) – Option 8708
A versatile video output card. It provides two user selectable serial digital (SMPTE 259M, or

Override
There are three options for this setting: “Off,
On, and Auto”. If set to “Auto” the relay
will operate as expected (a DPI splice
command will trigger the Active State). If
“Override” is set to “Off”, the relay will
always be in the “non-active” state and vice
versa if “Override” is set to “On”. This
setting can be used for testing the
downstream equipment.
1. Use the and buttons to change
the “Override” to either (Off, On,
or Auto).
2. Press the button to save the
selection.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE “OFFSET” SETTING:
The “offset” value may need to be adjusted to compensate for switch time latencies and
line up the exact desired insertion switch point.
Page 76
MRD 3187B User Manual
The MRD will delay the relay pulse according to the parameters received in the DPI
splice command. If the received DPI command is a splice_immediate type, the MRD
will fire the relay immediately following any delay (positive value) indicated by the
configured “Offset” value. In the case of the splice_immediate event, negative offsets
have no meaning, and the event will be fired as soon as possible.
In the case of a splice_insert event with a delayed splice_time indicated, the MRD will
wait until the indicated splice time before firing the relay pulse. The splice_insert
command is typically transmitted 4 to 5 seconds before the actual DPI insertion point. In
this case the “Offset” value can be used to cause the relay to be fired earlier (negative
offset) or later (positive offset) than indicated by the splice_insert message.
A NOTE ABOUT MULTIPLE SPLICE COMMANDS:
SCTE35 allows the DPI inserter to send more than one splice command indicating the
same DPI event. This is accomplished by using the splice_event_ID. The MRD will keep
track of the splice_event_ID so that duplicate splice commands do not cause more than
one DPI trigger output, and so that unique splice events are properly queued and fired - as
would be expected.

The MRD 3187B allows the user to subscribe to two multicasts simultaneously in order to
provide a backup in the case of a primary failure. There are three options for “Group To
Recv:” (1, 2, Auto). Auto will attempt to join the first multicast, if it cannot join that one it
will then attempt to join the second one. If the unit is currently joined to the first multicast
and that stream disappears, the unit will automatically switch over to the second receive
group. The only time the unit will go back to the first receive group is if it is forced back or
if the second receive group disappears. If the “Group To Recv” is set to either 1 or 2, the unit
will always stay on that receive group regardless of if it is present or not.
