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, 2-3, 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, 14, 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.
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)
Page vi (245)
MRD 3187B - User Manual
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.

NEVER tamper with or remove the 3rd – prong grounding pin. This could cause
damage to the MRD 3187B, personnel, or property.
AC Power Connection
The MRD 3187B is intended for use on either 120V or 240V systems. The power
supply will automatically detect the system it is connected to. To hook up the power
use the following steps:
1. Locate the AC power cord that was included with the MRD 3187B.
Page 12 (245)
MRD 3187B - User Manual
2. Plug the female end of the power cord (end with no prongs) into the back of the
unit.
3. Locate a protected outlet (usually inside of the rack) to plug the male end of the
power cable into.
DC Power Connection (if equipped)
Using the proper power connections is vital to the safe operation of the MRD 3187B.
The MRD 3187B is intended for use in 40-65 VDC systems. The power supply will
automatically detect the system it is connected to. When installing the MRD 3187B,
the power supply MUST be used in conjunction with an over-current protective
device rated at 50 V, 5 A, type: Slow-blo, as part of battery-supply circuit.
Failure to include an over-current protective device could cause damage to the MRD
3187B, personnel, or property.
1.2 Quick Start Guide
Quick Start
To get the MRD 3187B up and running there is a few things that need to be done.
1. Select the desired input as active.
2. Setup the decoder with the proper PIDs.
3. Setup the desired output(s).
The easiest way to set these options up is to refer to Section 4. At the beginning of
Section 4 is a table that shows the specific cards included in that section. Find the
desired card in the table, then navigate to the corresponding page number and follow
the step-by-step instructions.
1.3 Maintenance
The MRD 3187B is virtually a maintenance-free piece of equipment. There are no
user serviceable parts on the inside of the unit however it is recommended that the
user cleans the intake filter on the front right side of the unit on a regular basis to
ensure the unit has an unobstructed cool air intake. This filter is removed easily, for
cleaning, by opening the door on the front right side of the unit and removing the
filter.

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
internal temperature exceeds 70 degrees C, the temperature status will be in the error
state.
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

3.19 PID Filtering Dual Output MPEG over IP UDP Output–
Option 8728
The 8728 has the ablility to “remultiplex” the active input TS into a transport stream with
reduced services and/or a lower bitrate before transmission onto the network.
The MRD 3187B 8728 option is a single slot output only card that supports PID filtering
and automatic table modification. The 8728 output cardwill use two Ethernet connections
independently to transmit MPEG2 transport streams over IP networks from a valid input
source (ASI, DVB-S2, 8727 IP input, etc.) A multi program transport stream (MPTS)
input can be reduced into as many as 5 output transport streams. Any combination of
services present in the source stream may be selected for the output transport stream.
Each output IP stream can then be routed to one of two Ethernet ports as desired. The
8728 can also adapt the transport stream bitrate and recalculate the PCR values in the
output transport streams to be correct for the new multiplex.

General Information
Description: This card provides either DVB-ASI or 310M input and output. The card
will provide 310M output only if the input TS is 19.39 Mb/sec. When the card is in
ASI mode, the TS bitrate for both the input and output is from 1.5 Mb/sec – 160
Mb/sec. When the card is in SMPTE 310M mode, the bitrate for both input and
output must be 19.39 Mb/sec. The output jack on this card is an active loopthrough (i.e. a re-serialized TS). The output will be the same type that the input is
set for (e.g. 310M or ASI). The card can be used to provide an ASI TS output
from another type of input on the unit (e.g. 8VSB).

Genlock Offset
The 8706A card can be Genlocked to a standard “black and burst” signal applied to
the Genlock input on the back panel. The frame rate of the “black and burst” signal
must be the same as the frame rate of the video output. The “Genlock Reference,”
under the button, must be set to the type of Genlock signal being used as well. If
the Genlock input source is lost, the red “Error” LED will illuminate on the front panel,
a description of the error will be shown in the “Active Errors” menu under the
button, and an entry will be logged in the event log. The video will restore but will not
be Genlocked until the Genlock signal is restored.
When the “Genlock Reference” is set to an SD source of NTSC or PAL, the “Genlock
Offset” includes a “Color Ref” setting.
Note: This mode is only available if the unit is equipped with an 8731A/8734 decoder
as well as the 8706A video output card.

Note: The maximum amount of offset is determined by the format of the video

Note: The “DPI PID Index” ranges from 0 to 65535 and is important when there are
multiple DPI PIDs referenced by the PMT of one MPEG program. The user
should take care to ensure the correct DPI PID and Video PID and PCR values
(as indicated by the PMT) are configured on the MRD so that the splice points
and decoded video are properly associated. Enter the “DPI PID Index” to specify
the index to the DPI PID that will carry the splice_info_sections.
Note: The “Program ID” ranges from 0 to 65535 and is a unique identification for a
viewing event in the service.
Note: The “Pre-Roll Time” is the desired amount of time, in milliseconds, after being
processed that the action will occur.
Note: The “Break Duration” ranges from 0 65535. If the default, 0, is chosen the
Injector will not set a duration. This value is ignored if “Splice Insert Type” is
anything other than “Start Normal” or “Start Immediate”. The “Break Duration” is
entered in tenths of seconds.

8716/8716G
General Information
Description: This input provides a satellite L-band (950 MHz – 2150 MHz) signal for
demodulation of KU-band or C-band DVB-S QPSK signals or DVB-S2
QPSK/8PSK signals. The symbol rate ranges from 1 MSym/s to 45 MSym/s for
both DVB-S and DVB-S2. This card provides LNB power and 22 kHz control tone
to the active input. This card has advanced feature options of multistream input,
support for VCM, and support for 16APSK and 32APSK modulation. The “Input”
LED will only illuminate if the card detects frequency, symbol rate, FEC lock
(Carrier Lock), and TS sync (Sync Lock). The card provides A, B, C and D inputs,
which may be independently configured, but only one may be active at a time.
The 8716G card is the 8716 card without the ability to license the Advanced
Satellite Features. The 8716G card is the same as an unlicensed 8716 card.
