MT110-100/102
16-In 8-Out Audio Matrix Switcher Card
The MT110-100 and MT110-102 are balanced
input Audio Matrix Switching Cards. Each card
allows any input to be independently switched to
any of the outputs. All inputs and outputs can be
wired for unbalanced or balanced audio, allowing
longer cable runs and superior noise resistance.
These cards utilize AC coupling on their inputs for
ideal signal transfer characteristics. Switching is
controlled with easy-to-use ASCII commands from
a control system or computer connected to the
RS-232 port of a MultiTasker™ enclosure. Each
card consumes two slots in a MultiTasker™
enclosure, and all input and output connections are
accomplished via captive screw terminal blocks.
Although designated as a 16x8 matrix switcher, the
MT110-100/102 can be used in a variety of ways to
provide different capabilities. For example, one
16x8 card can handle mono audio while two 16x8
cards handle stereo audio, or a single 16x8 card
can be used to create an 8x4 stereo audio matrix.
Similarly, a single 16x8 card can be used to provide
two 4x2 stereo audio matrix switchers. The
MT110-100 is a standard matrix switcher, whereas
the MT110-102 has individual volume trim control
on each output.
The HelpInside™ feature allows programmers to
have access to command structures and control of
the MT110-100/102 from any terminal using the
[HELP] command. In conjunction with Altinex’s
unique command structure, HelpInside™ provides
easier-than-ever control of MultiTasker™ cards
with simple keyboard commands. No typing of long
keyboard strings is necessary.
