The HDR-5000 models are shown in the two figures below. The appearance of the HDR-5000-1 and -2 are the same. The HDR-5000-3 has the same features as the HDR-5000-1 and -2, except streamed video can be previewed in a screen on the right front panel of the device.
1.1.1 Accessories The HDR-5000 receiver is compatible with several Vislink block downconverters (BDCs) that transform the incoming RF signal into UHF for input to the receiver. A typical installation consists of a receiver, low-noise block downconverters, filters, antennas and cables.
HDR-5000. The HDR-5000 is typically mounted in a 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack. The unit and cabling are permanently installed and power comes from facility power.

Installing the HDR-5000 This chapter describes how to unpack and install the HDR-5000 Six-Input Rack-Mounted HD/ SD Digital Receiver. Unpacking the HDR-5000 Before you install your new equipment, carefully unpack your new equipment to avoid accidental damage. Locate all parts and accessories and verify that they are listed on the packing list. DO NOT discard the container or packing material until you have inspected the equipment and are sure there is no shipping damage.
Provide strain relief at each connector to absorb any pulling forces on the cable and prevent damage to the connector. If long lengths of cable are required, you may need a UHF amplifier or gain block. Contact Vislink for specific cable types and lengths to use in your application (see Section 4.1, Getting Support for Your HDR-5000).
Installing the HDR-5000 The HDR-5000 is typically mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack. Each unit occupies 2 rack units (2RU) of height. The cabling is permanently installed and power comes from the facility or site power source. This section describes typical mounting and cabling for the HDR-5 000; your installation may vary.
Each low-noise block downconverter (BDC) assembly includes a block downconverter, universal pole mounting bracket and a heavy duty band clamp as shown in the figure. Vislink recommends attaching the antenna directly to the downconverter. If you do not connect the antennas directly to the downconverters, you will have to fabricate your own antenna mounting bracket.

The Transport Stream over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) sets the destination of the video signal across the IP network and the HDR-5000 is set to convert ASI to IP, HDR-5000 then streams over IP to the defined IP Address and Port. The primary and the secondary TSoIP settings that you can view are as...
When you first start the process of initializing your HDR-5000, you should create Channel Plans, BDCs, TSoIP Endpoints, System Settings and if needed, Encryption Keys. Once you have created these custom parameters, add Presets that you can use and modify to receive high quality video and audio feed from your transmitters.
Restore Factory Defaults button, to modify a preset with those parameter values set by the firmware. You may also choose Delete to remove a preset or Save Changes, to retain the settings for a new or modified preset. HDR-5000 User and Technical Manual...
You are able to hide a channel plan using the Hide button. The HDR-5000 system allows selection of 1 of 4 frequency ranges (S, C2, or C4). Each frequency range is coupled to work with a single BDC type and each frequency range will have its own default Channel Plan.

The lower section provides a means to create AES and Bcrypt encryption keys within the Add Encryption Keys section. After you create a key, you must click the Save Changes button to add it to the HDR-5000 system. To delete existing Encryption Keys, use the button in the Remove Encryption Keys listing of all the existing keys.
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for encryption of electronic data established by NIST. A Bcrypt decryption module allows the HDR-5000 to interoperate with any COFDM streams using standardized encryption. Within the Parameters section you can change the Decryption setting to allow encrypted packets to go through the system, when you select Pass Through option in the TSoIP drop-down.
