16-in 8-out Video Matrix Switcher Cards
The MT105-100/101 16-in, 8-out Video Matrix
Switcher card is designed to allow the routing of
computer and broadcast video in audio/visual
presentation systems. This card enables 16
composite video sources to be connected and
switched to eight different display or recording
devices. 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.
Multiple MT105-100/101 cards can be installed in
the enclosure to provide additional functionality. For
example, two cards can be used to handle the two
components of an S-Video signal (Chroma and
Luma), three cards to handle Component Video,
and five cards to handle RGBHV. When using
these cards to switch RGBHV format signals, it is
possible to adapt the 5 BNC connectors to a VGA-
type, 15-pin HD connector using ALTINEX adapter
cables, such as part # MS8102CA.
The MT105-100
uses solid state switching
technology and offers a video bandwidth of
350MHz, enabling it to pass high-resolution video
signals without degradation.
The
MT105-101
provides an economical
application that does not involve the use of
extremely high-resolution computer video signals.
This card is designed for 200MHz bandwidth
performance.
