MRD 4400

Modular Receiver Decoder

The MRD 4400 receiver/decoder is the flagship unit of the professional integrated receiver/decoder series that Sencore has offered for many years for distribution and monitoring purposes. Equipped with the latest generation components, it covers as many features as possible required for commonly used receiver/decoder applications, maximizing value. It supports SD or HD video, MPEG-2, H.264, or H.265 codecs, and up to four audio services.

Overview

  • Turnaround and backhaul distribution feeds

    Simultaneously receive network and live feeds via RF, ASI, or IP while performing demodulation, decapsulation, encapsulation, and decoding for local processing and re-encoding requirements.

  • Upgrading existing equipment

    We address the emerging challenges of video streaming, such as the need to transition to H.264 and enhance audio services in place of existing IRD receivers and decoders. Experience unparalleled ease of use and interoperability in the industry at a low ownership cost.

  • Monitor any video feed

    Setup can be done quickly, and it automatically decodes all signals, allowing for monitoring of video feeds in operations and engineering labs.

Features

  • Supports all common video formats
    • ✔ MPEG-2/H.264, HD/SD video
    • ✔ Automatic codec detection, switchable even while running
  • Compatible with major audio formats, capable of decoding up to 4 audio channels or performing SDI pass-through
  • Automatic SDI output switching
  • Built-in ASI input/output for maximum value and flexibility
  • Supports 8VSB, IP, RF, and satellite inputs
  • Comprehensive auxiliary data output via ANC and VBI methods
  • Closed captioning for monitoring and testing or automatic scaling subtitle overlay
  • Intuitive and simple web interface
  • Complete control, status, and alarm monitoring via SNMP
