Altinex MT310-104

The MT310-104 card utilizes AC coupling on its inputs for signal transfer characteristics. This card allows any input to be independently switched to any of the outputs. Also, any input may simultaneously drive multiple outputs. All inputs and outputs can be wired for unbalanced stereo audio, or balanced audio allowing longer cable runs and superior noise resistance. Switching is controlled with easy-to-use commands from a control system or computer connected to the RS-232 port of the MultiTasker enclosure, or through the front panel keys of the MultiTasker system. Each card requires 4 slots in a MultiTasker enclosure and all input and output connections are accomplished via captive screw pluggable terminal blocks.

Although designated as a 16×16 matrix switcher, the MT310-104 can be used in a variety of ways to provide different capabilities. For example, one MT310-104 can be used to create two 8×8 stereo audio matrices or a 4×4 and a 2×2 audio matrix. Each stereo pair is switched together; you cannot switch the left and right channels of an input independently. The MT310-104 features individual input gain control on each input via the RS-232 control or front panel keys.
