We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied MT107-301/305/306.However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 BAD SIGNAL
Cause 1: The display is connected to the wrong card.
Solution: Make sure the video signals are coming from the video card (-305) and sync signals are coming from the sync card (-306). If the signal is still bad, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The switch settings are wrong.
Solution: If the output card is an MT107-301, make sure the Video/Sync switch settings are in the correct position for the signal type on each channel. If the signal is still bad, call Altinex at (714) 990-2300.
