Scan Reducer Card
The MT106-100 is a Scan Reducer Card designed
for use in a Multi-TaskerÔ enclosure. When
installed in a Multi-TaskerÔ , this card allows the
connection of a computer video source to a display
or VCR capable of accepting composite or S-Video
signals.

Compatibility
The MT106-100 automatically supports VGA
(640 x 480) and SVGA (800x 600) input signals
with refresh rates up to 100 Hz, and XGA
(1024 x 768) input signals with refresh rates up to
75 Hz. The MT106-100 converts these non-
interlaced computer video signals to interlaced
NTSC/PAL video signals, offering simultaneous
Composite Video and S-Video outputs. The
MT106-100 also provides a built-in 1-in 3-out
Composite Video distribution amplifier. All three
Composite Video outputs and the S-Video output
are simultaneously available.

INSTALLING YOUR MT106-100
6
Step 1. Slide the MT106-100 into an available
slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Basic Enclosure
in order to connect to the bus. Make sure
that the MT106-100 Scan Reducer card
fits into place. Secure the card to the
Multi-Tasker™ by tightening the retainer
screws located on the top and bottom of
the MT106-100 Scan Reducer card.
2. Use uppercase letters for all commands.
After processing a command, an OK or ER
string will be returned as feedback if "F" is
included at the end of a command string or if
the unit ID is zero.
7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS
Each command consists of three parts:
function, card ID, and unit ID. [Function, Card
ID, Unit ID].
Step 2. The LED on the card panel will turn red
indicating that the card is in full operation.
A green LED indicates that an input
signal is present. An LED that is blinking
red indicates that the card is experiencing
a problem. If the LED is blinking, see
Troubleshooting Guide in Section 8.
Example:
[VER C3 U2]
VER= function
C3 = Card ID
U2= Unit ID
Step 3. Connect a coaxial cable from the video
source to the input connector of the
The Card ID is an assigned value from 1 to 19,
based on which slot the cardis put in. 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.

output
Step 4. Starting from the left, identify the slot
number where the MT106-100 card is
plugged into the Enclosure and note that
it is for RS-232 control.
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).

There is one MT106-100 card in slot #2 of unit
3 set for NTSC outputs. Sending the command
[C2U3] to the Multi-Tasker™ will provide the
following feedback:
Any command other than [ + ] or [ - ] will reset
the previous selection and the STATUS

Cause 3: Card cage slot has a problem.
8.3 NO DISPLAY
Solution 1: Test the card in other slots of the
card cage. If the slot was damaged,
the card may work in other slots. If
other slots work and the LED lights,
the problem is the card cage slot.
The card cage may require service.
Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If
the other slots do not work and the
LED is still not lit, see Solution 2.
Cause 1: The source has a problem.
Solution: Check the source and make sure
that there is a signal present and all
source connections are correct. If
the source is working and there is
still no display, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: The card output is not selected.
Solution: Select the card output. See RS-232
accessible commands in Section 7.
If no display is present, see
Cause 3.
Solution 2: Take any other known good card
with an LED and verify that the slot
used is good by seeing if the other
card’s LED lights in that slot. If it
lights, then the original card may be
the source of the problem. Call
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
Cause 3: Cable connections are incorrect.
Solution: Make sure that cables are properly
connected. Also, make sure that the
continuity and wiring are good. If
there is still no display present, see
Cause 4.
8.2 LED IS BLINKING RED
Cause 1: The CPU on the card is not
working properly.
Cause 4: The display has a problem.
Solution 1: Look at the card and verify that
there is no damage. If there is no
damage, see Solution 2.
Solution: Make sure the display has power
and is turned ON. If there is still no
display, please call Altinex at
(714) 990-2300.

sockets. If the LED is still blinking
