TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied MT107-301/305/306.
However, we would like to offer suggestions for the
following:
8.1 BAD SIGNAL
Cause 1: The display is connected to the
wrong card.
Solution: Make sure the video signals are
coming from the video card (-305)
and sync signals are coming from
the sync card (-306). If the signal is
still bad, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The switch settings are wrong.
Solution: If the output card is an MT107-301,
make sure the Video/Sync switch
settings are in the correct position
for the signal type on each channel.
If the signal is still bad, call Altinex
at (714) 990-2300.
