3.1 License Options
The MRD 3187B has two license options available. A separate license must be purchased to (1)
decode MPEG4 or H.264 and/or (2) convert SCTE35 to SCTE104.
3.2 8VSB/QAM Receiver – Option 8701A
This card will receive a TS that is demodulated from an 8VSB signal or it will demodulate a
QAM64B or QAM256B RF input. With an 8VSB input, the card will tune to channels 2 – 69.
With a QAM input, the card will tune to channels 2 – 134 in three cable frequency bands (FCC,
IRC, and HRC). The MRD 3187B will show a valid input if the following conditions are met:
the receiver equalizer and the FEC are locked. If the RF level is lower than the “Low Warning
Setting” or the MER is lower than the “Low MER Warning Setting,” the red “Error” LED will
illuminate on the front panel and there will be an error recorded in the Error List.
3.3 Serial Transport Stream I/O (DVB-ASI/SMPTE 310M) – Option 8702
This card will receive a TS from either a DVB-ASI input or a SMPTE 310M input. Only one
format may be selected at a time. For an ASI input, the bitrate of the TS must be between
1.5Mb/s and 160Mb/s. For a SMPTE 310M input, the bitrate of the TS must be 19.392658Mb/s.
The selected input format will also be the output format. The 8702 card can also be used as a TS
output for any of the other input cards.
3.4 High Bit Rate ASI Input – Option 8703
This card will receive, up to a 160Mb/s MPTS on ASI. This card is equipped with a passive
loop-through to allow the TS to be passed through the card without altering the stream. The
loop-through on this card cannot be used to output a TS from a different input card. When the
loop-through output is not in use it should be terminated with a 75 Ohm terminator.
3.5 Video Output (2 SD-SDI, 1 Composite) – Option 8704A/8704B
A standard definition video output card. It provides two mirrored serial digital (SMPTE 259M)
outputs and one composite NTSC & PAL output. Four pairs of audio can be embedded into the
serial output on group 1 and 2. Closed captioning found within the transport (608/708B) can be
embedded into the serial video output. NTSC closed caption, detected in the transport stream,
can be inserted on line 21.
3.6 Video Output (2 HD-SDI, 1 RGBHV/YPbPr) – Option 8705/8705A
A high definition video output card. It provides two mirrored serial digital (SMPTE 292M)
outputs and one analog component video output (RGBHV or YPbPr). Four pairs of audio can be
embedded into the serial output on group 1 and 2. Closed captioning found within the transport
(608/708B) can be embedded into the serial video output.
3.7 Video Output (1 RGBHV/YPbPr, 1 Composite) – Option 8706A
An analog only video output card that can output either high definition or standard definition
formats. Two outputs are on the card: one BNC for composite (NTSC & PAL) and one 15-pin
D-sub for component (RGBHV or YPbPr). The card outputs an SD or HD signal, one at a time.
Closed caption (NTSC), detected in the transport stream, can be inserted on line 21 of the
composite (NTSC video) output.
