DRS6000-HS

MRC LogoLegacy analog downlink systems are not well suited for urban environments due to persistent problems with multi-path interference, fade and signal loss. For this reason law enforcement, defense, and security agencies now demand robust, dependable, digital receivers designed specifically to perform in congested built-up settings. Microwave Radio Communications developed the DRS6000-HS receiver to address these challenges, and to provide multiple frequency bands for flexibility to receive communications from a broad range of responders. The DRS6000-HS delivers the rich feature set required for first responders; including COFDM demodulation, spatial diversity, advanced decryption and a powerful but simple management interface.

DRS-6000-HSCOFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is used to transmit compressed video for high resolution outdoor applications. COFDM’s multi-carrier transmission characteristics protect the signal from the effects of multi-path interference; while it’s coding, interleaving, and guard interval characteristics protect against the multi-path latency delays associated with mobile transmitters.

The DRS6000-HS includes both COFDM demodulation and antenna spatial diversity Maximal Ratio Combining (MaxRC) to eliminate the effects of fade and multi-path loss. Using these technologies the DRS6000-HS effectively extends the range of airborne based digital downlinks via simple omni-directional antennas or high gain sectors – without the increased cost and complexity of tracking antenna systems. The DRS6000-HS will dynamically optimize the quality and range of the received signal for maximum usability in real-world applications.

DRS6000-HS offers both BISS, BISS-E and AES 128 bit decryption options. System parameters can be easily set from the front panel with a user friendly keypad and menu screen. Manual and pre-defined settings may be selected and a display screen provides a live view of the video signal. The integrated Standard Definition (SD) MPEG decoder supports standard DVB-T 2K operation and the unit is compatible with MRC’s digital STRATA, DTX, CodeRunner and MCR-HS transmitters.
