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
MPEG-2, MPEG4, 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.

Key Features

• 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.

Applications

• 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.

Not Just A Receiver Decoder

The MRD 3187B receiver decoder enables operators to gain
valuable information about the decoded video and audio sig­nal. The video and audio bitrate, aspect ratio, native format,
and other useful information can be viewed to verify the quality
of the decoded signal.
