MT104-100 & MT104-103
6-in 1-out MT Switcher Cards
The MT104-100 and MT104-103 are 6-in 1-out
Video Switcher Cards. These MT Video SW cards
enable 6 composite video sources to be connected
and switched to a single display or recording
device. The MT104-100 can be used together with
one or two Video SW Expansion Cards for up to 22
inputs. See the MT104-101 product sheet for more
information.
Multiple MT Video SW series cards can be installed
into a Multi-Tasker™
enclosure to provide
additional functionality. For example, two MT Video
SW
cards can be used to handle the two
components of an S-Video signal (Chroma and
Luma). In order to create a component video
switcher, simply install three of the MT Video SW
cards, one each for the Y, Pr, and Pb (or Y, R-Y,
B-Y) signal components. Similarly, the MT Video
SW series cards can also be used to pass
computer video signals: 4 cards for RGBS and 5
for RGBHV.
The MT Video SW cards utilize solid state
switching technology, and offer the ability to pass
VGA thru UXGA high-resolution video signals
without degradation. Inputs are selected via easy-
to-use ASCII commands from a control system or
computer connected to the RS-232 port of a
Multi-Tasker™ enclosure. Also available through
ASCII control is “on-off” output control.
Additionally, by special order you can have VIS
(Vertical Interval Switching) capability added. This
is a feature that eliminates the "glitch" normally
associated with composite video switching.
