1.1 Product Introduction
The flagship MRD 5800 Advanced Modular Receiver continues Sencore’s long history of
leadership in the receiver/decoder space. The product boasts a full complement of
cutting-edge features, including 4:2:2 H.264 8bit/10bit decoding, up to 8 individual audio
PIDs, 16/32APSK satellite demodulation, and 1080p60 video support with 3G-SDI
output. This feature set makes the MRD 5800 the ideal choice for contribution reception
or demanding distribution applications which require a future-proof set of specifications.
Every MRD 5800 ships with a full complement of basic inputs and outputs built-in,
including ASI input and output and dual SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs. The addition of a digital
video output means that video monitoring is as easy as finding the nearest standard
consumer television or PC monitor. In addition, available factory-configurable MPEG
over IP I/O and DVB-S2 receiver modules make adapting the product to almost any use
case easy.
The receiver also maintains Sencore’s long tradition of ease of use, with a straight-
