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, 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.
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)
