This chapter describes the MLR features and theory of operation. It also includes a block diagram
of the MLR and a description of the internal circuits.

2.1 microLite Features and Benefits

Table 2-1 summarizes key features and benefits of the MLR.
The microLite Receiver is a receiver that utilizes advanced silicon tuners and dual antenna inputs
for robust, error free signal reception. The MLR can receive either HD or SD video
transmissions using COFDM modulated microwave signals. The MLR uses maximal-ratio
combining to take advantage of its dual antennas.
The silicon tuners employed in the microLite Receiver includes low noise amplification,
automated gain control, mixing, tuning, and demodulation functions on one integrated circuit.
This facilitates low power, high performance, and space savings.
The microLite Receiver contains a built-in, industry compliant, MPEG4 (H.264 part 10) decoder.
The MLR can output ASI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, or Composite video, as well as User Data. Stereo
audio is included on the ASI and SDI outputs, and the MLR has left and right audio output jacks.
The MLR features a 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN interface for streaming video over IP. This feature
uses UDP/IP and allows received video to be viewed remotely using MPEG4 decoder software
on a personal computer. A compatible MPEG4 decoder that runs on your remote host PC is
required for this application.
The top panel of the microLite Receiver has signal strength, status, and monitoring LEDs that
provide useful information at a glance. The user interface also features a selector button for
choosing between 16 pre-programmed configurations called "Presets".
Though the unit ships pre-configured, a graphical user interface that runs on a Windows PC is
available to modify the operating parameters.
IMT has the ability, should the need ever arise, to provide the user with firmware files and
instructions for local firmware installation, such as for feature upgrades, etc.
