MT104-100 & MT104-103

6-in 1-out MT Switcher Cards

The MT104-100and MT104-103are 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 MT104-100can be used together with one or two Video SW Expansion Cards for up to 22 inputs. See the MT104-101product 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.
