ABOUT YOUR MULTI-TASKER™ 2

MT104-108

6-in 1-out S-Video Switcher Card

The MT104-108 is a 6-in (+1 internal input) 1-out

S-Video Switcher Card designed for use in

Multi-Taskerenclosures. The MT S-Video SW

card enables 6 S-Video sources to be connected

and switched to a single display or recording

device. The MT104-108 is compatible with NTSC,

PAL and SECAM S-Video signals.

The MT104-108 card utilizes solid state switching

technology, and offers video bandwidth of

350 MHz, enabling it to pass 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.

Additionally, VIS (Vertical Interval Switching)

capability may be added by special order. This is a

feature that eliminates the "glitch" normally

associated with video switching when all input

video signals are gen-locked together. Also

available through ASCII control is “on-off” output

control.

INSTALLING YOUR MULTI-TASKER™ 6

Step 1. Slide the MT104-108 into an available

slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure in

order to connect to the bus. Make sure

that the MT104-108 card fits into place.

Secure the card to the Multi-Tasker™ by

tightening the retainer screws located on

the top and bottom of the MT104-108

card.

Step 2. The LED on the card panel will turn red

indicating that the card is in full operation.

Step 3. Connect a coaxial cable from the video

source to the input connector of the

MT104-108. Connect the output

connectors of the MT104-108 to the

display devices through a coaxial cable.

Step 4. Starting from the left, identify the slot

number where the MT104-108 card is

plugged into the Enclosure and note that

it is for RS-232 control.

OPERATION 7

7.1 RS-232 CONTROL

When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, the

MT104-108 has many advanced remote control

capabilities, which are accessible through standard

RS-232 communication. The actual controlling can

be accomplished through a computer control

system or any other device capable of sending

RS-232 commands.

7.1.1 RS-232 INTERFACE

The RS-232 commands for the MT104-108 are

in a simple ASCII character format.

1. Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the

command.

2. Use uppercase letters for all commands.

After processing a command, an OK or ER will

be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the

end of a command string.

Commands such as [ON], [OFF], and [IO] that

end in "S" will be saved into memory.

Commands not ending in "S" will still be

executed but will not be restored when the

system is reset (power off & power on again).

7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS

Each command consists of three parts:

Function, card ID, and unit ID. [Function,

Card ID, Unit ID]

Example:

[VERC3U2]

VER = Function

C3 = Card ID

U2 = Unit ID

For Function, see a detailed explanation under

each command description.

The Card ID is an assigned value from 1 to 19,

1 to 8, or 1 to 4 depending on which enclosure

is being used. The Card ID represents the slot

number where the board resides. Card

ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller (see user’s

guide for the MT100-100). Changing the

position of a card will significantly affect the

commands recorded on software definitions or

a third party control system.

The Unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0

should be used for single unit operation. If the

Unit ID is set to 0, then each command can be

used without Ui (use command [SETU0]; see

user’s guide for the MT100-100).

Example:

[VERC3]: for unit ID zero

[VERC3Ui]: for unit ID other than zero

[VERC3]: equivalent to [VERC3U0]

1. [VER]

This command receives the software version

and card type for theMT104-108 card.

Command Format: [VERCnUi]

Cn = card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) (refer to the

MT100-100 user’s guide for explanation)

MULTI-TASKER™

Example:

One MT104-108 card is in slot #2 of unit 3:

Send the command [VERC2U3] and the

Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure will return:

MT104-108 690-0160-002

MT104-108 = card type

690-0160-002= software version

2. [C]

This command receives the status of the card.

Command Format: [CnUi]

Cn = card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = unit ID (i = from 0 to 9) (refer to the

MT100-100 user’s guide for explanation)

Example:

An MT104-108 card is in slot #2 of unit 3 and

input 1 is ON. Sending the command [C2U3]

will yield the following feedback from the

Multi-Tasker™:

ON: 1 C02

ON: 1= input 1 is ON

C02 = card is in slot 2

If there is no card in slot #2 of unit 3, sending

the [C2U3] command will not return any

feedback.

3. [CnS]

This command saves the current status of the

card's input selection configuration. This

configuration will be restored after system is

reset or powered off then on.

Cn = card number

S= save configuration

If Inputs 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are enabled, the

feedback after sending the command [C4S], for

slot 4, would be:

ON:1,2,3,4,5,6 C04 Saved

4. [ON]

This command enables one input of a single

card or a group of cards.

[ONmCnUiS]: for a SINGLE card

This command enables input “m” and disables

all other inputs.

[ONmCnUi]: enables input

Default when plugged in = Input 1 is ON

m = Input number (m = 1 to 7, 7 is internal)

Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = Unit ID number (i = 0 to 9)

S= saves command to memory

Example:

If all of the inputs on the MT104-108 card are

OFF and the card is in slot #5 of unit 3:

1) [ON1C5U3]: Turns ON input 1.

2) [ON3C5U3]: Turns ON input 3 (input 1 is

now OFF).

[ONmGkUiS]: for a GROUP of cards

This command enables input "m" for each card

in group "k" of unit "i".

[ONmGkUi]: enables a group of inputs

m= Input (m = 1 to 7, input 7 is internal)

Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)

Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)

S=saves command to memory

Example:

[ON1G1U1]: Turns ON input 1 for each card in

group 1 of unit 1.

[ON…..P]: sets path

This command will set the path for the output,

but it is not active until the switch command,

[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are

not executed immediately. The path for outputs

on multiple cards or the same card can be

preloaded and then all switched at the same

time.

Command Format:[ONmCnUiP]

m= Input number (m = 1 to 7, 7 is internal)

Cn = card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = Unit ID number (i = 0 to 9)
