2. Introduction
The Diversity System is an extension to the highly successful MVL-HD series of microwave
links. The first truly digital microwave link to meet the requirements of digital television
outside broadcasts. The Diversity system is primarily used in conjunction with a mobile
Vislink transmitter; for example the D-Cam Clip-On unit wireless camera, “on-board”
transmitters, or as a central receiving station to provide 360-degree coverage for citywide
reception and helicopter downlinks.
This version of the receiver features both H264/MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 decoding with
automatic selection.
The Diversity Control Unit takes the form of a 2U 19” rack mounted unit. The associated RF
Head unit(s) are machined out of solid aluminum to provide exceptional mechanical
strength. They are of modular design for easy access and flexibility; the Diversity Control
Unit and Head units are connected together via Triax cable; the cable may be up to 600m
in length.
The output from the Receiver features a comprehensive range of signal formats for video
and audio, including HD and SD SDI video, PAL/NTSC analogue video, AES/EBU digital,
Dolby E and Dolby D pass-through, SDI embedded and analogue audio, together with IP
encapsulated ASI data and HDMI. In HD mode, a down-converted CVBS monitor output is
also provided.
The received video may be monitored on the front panel LCD color screen where security
clearance allows.
The menu control and monitoring uses six push buttons for ease of operation, and allows
the complete Receiver set-up to be controlled from the front panel. Remote monitoring
via Ethernet is also provided.
The Receiver will accept a wide range of AC and DC power options. Powering will
automatically switch to DC, with no break, in the event of a failure of the AC supply.
