HEVC, H.264 and MPEG2 transport streams up to UHD resolutions. Input
options include MPEG/IP, ASI, satellite, Zixi and SRT. Output options include
SDI, HDMI, and ST 2110. No matter the hardware and software options your

Unpack the Equipment
Check that there are no signs of damage to equipment due to transport. If the
equipment appears to be damaged, please contact Sencore ProCare for support.
In addition to the Sencore MRD 7000 hardware itself, the box should include
power cables or AC adapters and various rackmount hardware.
Equipment Installation and Power Up
The MRD 7000 server hardware is designed for rack installation and should be
securely connected to the rack using the included rack rails and screws suitable
for the rack type. Note that there should be sufficient room for air to freely flow
around the unit, ensuring proper cooling. The chassis requires front-to-back
airflow.
The MRD 7000 server hardware is specified to operate in the range of 100–
240VAC, 50-60Hz

Establish a Web Connection to the MRD 7000
To access the MRD 7000 web user interface, it is necessary to establish an
Ethernet connection to the device. There are two alternative ways to connect to
or set the device’s management IP address: using the pre-set management IP
address or connecting a monitor and keyboard to the server.
Using the Pre-Set Management IP Address
The Sencore MRD 7000 is shipped with the following factory settings for the
network ports:
eth0 Default IP Address: 10.0.20.101
eth0 Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
eth1 Default IP Address: DHCP
To connect to the web UI, the PC used for setup should have corresponding
network settings. Connect a PC directly to eth0 using an Ethernet cable.

the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
When the IP address of the PC has been set in the same subnet as the MRD
7000 factory setting, a web browser can be used to access the web user
interface at 10.0.20.101.

Connecting Monitor and Keyboard to the MRD 7000
It is also possible to configure the network settings of the MRD 7000 using a
monitor and keyboard connected directly to the server. Once the MRD 7000
server boots, a console screen will be shown which will allow viewing and
configuring the IP settings of the system

The eth0 and eth1 IP addresses are shown on the initial main menu. If the IP
addresses are not shown or they are to be changed, press the ENTER key on
the keyboard to advance to the next menu.
The next screen allows configuration of both global network settings and the
configuration of any of the eth ports. Select Configure Networks to change the
host name, default gateway or DNS settings. Select eth0 Adapter Status to
change the IP mode (static/DHCP), IP address, netmask, or gateway for eth0.
Select the other Adapter Status selections to configure the other eth ports.
Configure the networks settings to be appropriate for your network and consult
the full user manual if more instructions are needed.
