The MT107-100 is a modular, matrix engine configurable to switch video and audio signals from 8x8 to 64x64 inputs and outputs. The MT107-100 engine's basic configuration provides 8 video inputs and 8 video outputs. Additional inputs and outputs may be added by connecting expansion input and output cards to the engine with special ribbon cables. Input and output connector cards are available for video and audio with BNC or terminal blocks. Video input signals are buffered to the matrix system through individual differential receiver amplifiers. The video amplifier can be used for either analog or sync video signals.
All functions of the matrix engine are controlled with the MultiTasker RS-232 control language and maintained through the MultiTasker enclosure. The engine may be controlled by using the RS-232 bus, or by preprogramming the MultiTasker enclosure. Programming the enclosure eliminates the need for an external computer to control the matrix engine.
A signal detection circuit is present for control purposes and allows feedback about signal availability to external control systems. Vertical Interval Switching assures smooth switching between different video channels.The MT107-100 matrix engine can be configured easily before shipping or on site to meet customer specifications.
The basic matrix configuration of 8x8 inputs and outputs can be easily be increased in steps of eight due to the modular design of the matrix engine and expansion cards. Although the outputs are parallel wired, each output is individually controlled and may be placed into a high-impedance state. The high-impedance state allows the individual outputs to share common signal paths without loss of signal integrity or loading of the output circuitry.
The video output option is the default configuration for analog or digital video, but with simple switching the Sync option may be employed.
