BRIEF DESCRIPTION
MPR30-ENG is a compact true diversity receiver designed for professional ENG, broadcast, and
field production applications. This receiver features a real TRUE DIVERSITY configuration along
with a unique wide-band tuning range up to 232 MHz.
A double stages input filters assure an excellent selectivity even in broad-band operations.
All audio processing is managed by a powerful DSP allowing:
- multicompanding,
- audio enhancement
- digital control data.
It is very easy and versatile thanks to its:
Oled display,
navigation button controls,
infrared interface (for sync and remote configuration),
micro-usb interface (for remote configuration and battery recharge),
automatic scan.
MPR30-ENG is designed to be:
“easy & quick to use” thanks to
o automatic setup functions (i.e. frequencies, scan for best channels),
o remote configuration utilities (thru infrared or USB interface) using Wisycom ENG
RX Manager application
o OLED display with intuitive context menu navigation
“extremely flexible”, with an incredible frequency agility up to 232MHz
o MPR30-ENG-L: 470/700 MHz (TV ch 21/49)
o MPR30-ENG-H:566/798 MHz (TV ch 33/61)
“best in class performances”, thanks to the latest Wisycom technology the unit has
extreme RF sensitivity and immunity and superb audio quality
“a durable & upgradable investment”, thanks to the very robust design (aluminum
housing) and the possibility to upgrade/enhance units performances.

Edit RX menu > Expander submenu
MPR30-ENG core is a power digital audio processor that,
besides an unbeatable audio quality and flexibility, can
emulate most companders systems on the market. On
this menu you can setup the audio companding chipset
emulation.
Other setups can be loaded on request.
Companders provided by default are:
- ENR Wis : for the optimization of noise
- ENC Wis : to optimize the voice
- ENR-1.2* / ENC-1.2*: to use MRP30-ENG with some
type of camera (ex. Canon® C300, Canon®
XF305, Sony® Pmw200, Sony® Pmw300, Sony®
PmwF5, Sony® Fs7, Nikon® D600 or Nikon®
D800, Canon® SD mark3...) which accept a
signal with reduced dynamic. This type of
expansion doesn't add artifacts to the signal
and allows to have a less noisy signal. It allows
to improve the quality of the audio
registration (compared to the ENR/ENC
standard) increasing the S/N ratio up to 15dB.
To use these companders, it’s necessary to set
ENR on the transmitter and ENR 1.2 on the
receiver or set ENC on the transmitter and
ENC 1.2 on the receiver.
ENR-1.2 it’s used for the optimization of noise,
ENC-1.2 it’s used to optimize the voice.
NB: The compander of the receiver must be the same as
the transmitter
* Available with FW version 1.6 or later and it has to be
previously enabled in factory
* Available with FW version 1.10 or later and it has to be
previously enabled in factory

MPR30-ENG is able to detect a digital tone squelch generated by a Wisycom transmitters
Tone squelch ON: when the tone squelch is enabled the
audio is muted unless the correct carrier is detected. Tone
squelch allows working with lower RF squelch, increasing the
coverage and the robustness especially in presence of digital
television carriers (DVB-T). Only when the tone squelch is
enabled, in the status menu is displayed "+TS".

It allows making three types of scan over a desired channel,
group or frequency. MPR30-ENG manages up to 2400 custom
frequencies organized in 40 groups of 60 channels each.
This extreme flexibility makes the scan function very flexible.
This function can be called also using the dedicated SCAN
button.
“Squelch scan” indicates the threshold below which a channel
is considered as free or almost free.
“Scan BTN” is the parameter to set the rapid function called
pressing SCAN button.
It’s possible to set Channel, Group or Frequency scan.
“View last” allows to see the result of the last scan operation.
“Deploy” allows to send to a MTK952 the last scan.
From the transmitter it’s possible to see the graphic of the last
scan and choose the frequency to tune.
(*)As per Wisycom standard, group 00 and group 01 or 09 are special; respectively the
(474,482/… MHz) and the intergap frequency (i.e. 470/478/486/… MHz). A scan on
group 00 will reveal in few seconds the overall DVB-T occupation on the area, while a scan on
group 01 will give possible working frequency, usable also in presence of strong DVB-T signal
(sort to speak working in the band-guard of 2 digital television channels).

MPR30-ENG User Manual
The following table lists the three types of scans that can be performed
Channel
Once started a Channel scan operation the receiver asks for
group to be used*. Press and hold the SEL button to select
the group to scan.
Then it prompts to turn off all transmitters.
So press SEL to start the scan!
After few seconds, scan results are displayed sorted by level,
making easier to pick up the best one.
The dotted line in the graph indicate the squelch threshold.
Under the graph are reported the following parameters:
- Ch: Channel
- Rank: Ranking position
- Freq: Frequency
- Lev: RF level
Pushing simultaneously UP and DOWN button, the results
can be also displayed on a chart in ascending order
according to the number of the channel.
After the selection of the desired channel, a screen appears
with the selected frequency, channel and group and it is
possible to Set or Synchronize the receiver with the
transmitter. We recommend setting the frequency and then
synchronize it with the transmitter.
Groups
If the scan is done on Groups, you can choose a maximum of
10 groups from among the 40 groups shown in the table
(Press the SEL button to select and press it again to
deselect).
In the upper left shows the number of the selected group
and the number of selected groups, while in the upper right
corner there is the item "START" to start the scan.
To select START, go to the box 39 and press the "UP" button
or go to the box 0 and press the "DOWN" button, so press
SEL to run the scansion.
Then it prompts to turn off all transmitters.

So press SEL to start the scan!
After few seconds, scan results are displayed on a
histogram.
Each column of the histogram is divided into two parts by a
black line. The lower part indicates the number of free
channels (RF level < Squelch level - 6dBµV) in the group,
while the upper one the number of channels almost free
(Squelch level < RF level < Squelch level - 6dBµV).
We recommend to choose the group with the highest
number of free channels.
Press SEL to select the desiderate group and choose the
channel as in “Channel scan”
After the selection of the desired channel, a screen appears
with the selected frequency, channel and group and it is
possible to Set or Synchronize the receiver with the
transmitter. We recommend setting the frequency and then
synchronize it with the transmitter.
Freq
The Frequency scan allows to select a range of frequency to
scan, between a maximum and a minimum value and the
step with which to perform the scans. Press and hold the
SEL button to confirm.
Then it prompts to turn off all transmitters.
So press SEL to start the scan!
After few seconds, scan results are displayed on a chart in
ascending order according to the frequency (step 1MHz).
The dotted line in the graph indicate the squelch threshold.
Pushing simultaneously UP and DOWN button it’s possible to
zoom the graph to show all the steps of scan
After the selection of the desired frequency, a screen
appears with the selected frequency and the RF level and it
is possible to Set or Synchronize the receiver with the
transmitter. We recommend setting the frequency and then
synchronize it with the transmitter.

NOTE: while in this menu display is not automatically turned off.
Sync menu
The SYNC function is useful to tune a transmitter
on the same frequency of the receiver via the IR
interface. Before starting the sync function tune the
receiver on desired channel, manually or using the
SCAN utility. After this, enable the IR interface on
the transmitter. Now press SYNC button or enter in the Sync
menu to start the SYNC function. Keep the IR window of the
transmitter in front of the IR window of the receiver and, as
soon as the connection is done, the receiver will send to the
transmitter all the information needed. If the operation is not
possible,
(i.e. the frequency range of the transmitter is not
compatible with the frequency of the receiver), the
display will show an error message. If the transmitter
has the function “NAME” enabled, when the sync
function is completed it will show the same name of
the synchronized receiver
