MT106-101 Scan Doubler Card
The MT106-101 is a Scan Doubler Card designed
for use with the Multi-Tasker

system. When
installed in a Multi-Tasker

enclosure, this card
allows the connection of an S-Video or one of three
Composite Video (NTSC/PAL) sources to a data-
grade monitor or projector. The MT106-101
doubles the scan rate from 15.7 kHz to 31.5 kHz,
while converting the interlaced broadcast video
type signal to a non-interlaced VGA-type signal.
The selection of an input source is accomplished
by RS-232 control through the Multi-Tasker

enclosure.
A/V presentation systems often require the use of
monitors that are designed specifically to handle
computer video signals. The MT106-101 allows the
integration of composite video or S-Video into
these systems. The MT106-101 can also help to
simplify systems that would otherwise require
switching between video and RGB inputs on a
projector or large screen display. Furthermore, the
MT106-101 improves the quality of a composite
video signal, resulting in a steadier image with
higher definition.
The MT106-101 provides a number of features that
can be controlled via RS-232 through the Multi-
Tasker Basic Enclosure. These features include
controls for horizontal and vertical positioning,
horizontal and vertical sizing, black level, color,
contrast and brightness.
The MT106-101 offers 3 composite video inputs on
female BNC connectors and an S-Video input on a
standard 4-pin mini-DIN connector. The latter may
be adapted to 2 BNC connectors using ALTINEX
adapter cables. The MT106-101 output is provided
on a 15-pin HD female (VGA-type) computer video
connector. This output may also be easily adapted
to 5 BNC connectors for RGBHV using an
ALTINEX adapter cable. Using the MT104-101 8-in
Video Switcher expansion cards, up to 32
additional composite inputs can be connected
internally to the MT106-101, and controlled via
RS-232 control to the Multi-Tasker

enclosure.
