MT107-303  
8-Out, Twisted Pair, Single Channel  
FEATURES/  
MT107-303  
The MT107-303 is an 8 Output expansion card for  
use with the MT107-104 64X64 Matrix Engine. The  
MT107-303 outputs are single channel differential  
outputs for use over long cable lengths. The  
Twisted Pair signals from the MT107-303 may be  
easily combined into a single CAT-5 cable using  
ALTINEX MS8704TP adapter cables. The CAT-5  
cable is then run to an ALTINEX Twisted Pair  
receiver such as the DA1931CT.

accomplished through  
a
computer control  
system or any other device capable of sending  
RS-232 commands.  
The MT107-303 must be installed directly  
to the right of the MT107-104 Matrix  
Engine. For example, if the engine is  
installed in slots 9 and 10, the first  
MT107-303 output card should be  
installed in slot 11, the second in slot 12,  
and so on.  
7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS  
Please see the MT107-104 User's Guide for a  
full listing of commands available for the  
MT107-303 as part of a MultiTasker Matrix  
Switcher.  
Step 3. Route the ribbon cables through the notch  
in the add-on boards and connect to the  
MT107-104 base assembly using the  
special high-bandwidth cables provided  
with the engine. Make sure the cable  
connector is secured in the socket of the  
output connector card.  
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  
8
We have carefully tested and found no problems in  
the supplied MT107-303. However, we would like to  
offer suggestions for the following:  
8.1 NO DISPLAY  
Cause 1: The source has a problem.  
Step 4. Attach the opposite end of the ribbon  
cable to the card and carefully slide the  
MT107-303 into the empty slot in the  
MultiTasker enclosure.  
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.  
Step 5. Secure the card by tightening the retainer  
screws at the top and bottom.  
Cause 2: The input signal is not detected.  
Step 6. Connect the output of the MT107-303 to  
the input of a Twisted Pair receiver using  
ALTINEX cable part number MS8704TP.  
Solution 1: In AVSnap®, or other control  
software, send the [SDI] command.  
This command is detailed in the  
MT107-104's User Guide. Verify a  
signal is detected for the output  
number in question. If a signal is not  
detected, see Solution 2.  
Step 7. Restore AC power to the enclosure.  
Step 8. The MT107-303 is now ready for  
operation.  
Solution 2: Verify the MT107-303 is connected  
to the MT107-104 and that the cable  
is in good condition. If a signal is  
detected, see Cause 3. If there is no  
signal  
detected,  
please  
call  
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

9.1 LIMITED WARRANTY/RETURN POLICIES  
correctly selected.  
Please see the ALTINEX website at  
www.altinex.com for details on warranty and  
return policies.  
For example, Input 2 is connected to  
Output 1 in the Matrix Engine status.  
Physically, the source signal should  
be connected to Input 2 and the  
display cable should be connected  
to Output 1. See RS-232 accessible  
commands in Section 7 of the
