2.2.1 Front Panel Controls, Indicators, and
Connectors
Controls, indicators, and connectors contained in the front panel
are described in the following paragraphs.
POWER Switch The POWER switch controls application of AC
power to the receiver. When set to I (on), power is applied to the
unit; when set to O (off), power is removed from the unit.
USB Connector The USB 2.0 connector allows you to install
firmware updates from MRC via a flash drive.
ETHERNET Connector The RJ-45 ETHERNET connector
allows you to connect the receiver to a computer and use the
receiver’s web browser interface to control the receiver.
MONITOR The MONITOR screen is a 3.5-inch diagonal LCD
color monitor that provides a live view of the incoming video
signal. The video monitor is typically blank when there is no
incoming video signal.
If, for any reason, the receiver should lose the incoming signal,
the monitor will display either a freeze frame or a blank screen.
Control Menu The Control menu reports real-time data for the
video signal and shows current RF settings. The Control menu
also displays menus used to change system settings.
Keypad The keypad consists of easy-to-use push buttons that
provide access to system parameters and settings. See
“Keypad Operation” on page 2-6 for details.
2.2.2 Rear Panel Connectors
The rear panel contains the connectors for power, diversity
inputs and outputs, and audio outputs.
The rear panel provides numerous inputs to and outputs from the
receiver. These inputs and outputs are as follows.
BDC 1 thru BDC 6 Connectors The TNC block
downconverter (BDC) connectors accept UHF signals from the
downconverters and their corresponding antennas.
BDC 3 thru
BDC 6 connectors are not contained on the DRS2000HS
Receiver.
To power each downconverter, +18.5 VDC is applied to the
coaxial cable that runs from the BDC connector to the
downconverter.
WAYSIDE DATA Connector The WAYSIDE DATA , 9-pin
female connector is used for transfer of data such as global
positioning satellite (GPS) data or metadata from the MPEG
decoder. By using a standard RS-232 cable, the receiver’s
WAYSIDE DATA connector can be connected to a computer or
an auto-tracking antenna system.
ALARM Connector The ALARM DB-15 female connector
connects to single-pole single throw (SPST) switches for
summary alarm data for common faults and events and for site
management control. One SPST switch is for a minor alarm,
one SPST switch is for a major alarm, and four SPST switches
are for site management.
ASI OUT Connector The ASI OUT, 75 ohm, female BNC
connector provides ASI outputs for digital video and audio
distribution.
CV 1 and CV 2 Connectors The Composite Video CV 1 and
CV 2 , 75 ohm, female BNC connectors provide analog video
signals.
AUDIO 1 and AUDIO 2 Connectors The AUDIO 1 and
AUDIO 2 connectors provide analog audio outputs and digital
audio outputs on Audio 2 when digital mode is selected.
RS-232 CNTRL The RS-232 CNTRL , DB-9 female connector
is used to remotely control the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS via a
slave controller.
