Small VGA-Type Matrix Switcher Cards
This family of cards allows simultaneous connection of many computer video source inputs to
many computer video display outputs. They offer VGA-type 15-pin HD connectors on all inputs
and outputs and support VGA through QXGA signal resloutions.
CAT-5 Transmitters/Receivers
These MultiTasker cards are used to transmit analog computer video signals over CAT-5 type
UTP cable. They are used in transmitter-reciever pairs, and can also be used in conjunction
with stand-alone ALTINEX CAT-5 products such as the DA1920SX transmitter or DA1921SX
receiver. Signal distribution of computer video signals through CAT-5 cabling allows you to
take advantage of cost and space savings over the use of traditional multi-channel coax cable.
Up/Down Converters
These cards translate the incoming video signals to alternate formats. The Scan Doubler will
take a composite or S-Video signal input and convert it into a VGA-compatible signal output.
Conversely, the Scan Reducer will take a VGA or XGA signal of varying refresh rates in, and
convert it to either an NTSC or PAL-compatible broadcast signal out. Finally, the Scaler will
take in a broadcast, VGA-type or DVI video signal, switch to the desired input and convert it to
the VGA-UXGA signal you define, at the refresh rate you define.
Audio Distribution Amplifier Cards
These cards take an audio signal input, and condition it or amplify it for distribution to one or
many outputs. Available with a variety of I/O connectors and balanced or unbalanced configu-
rations, these cards offer different combinations of distribution, expansion, output on-off con-
trol, and ground-loop protection features.
Audio Switcher Cards
An audio switcher allows you to switch between two or more input signals, choosing one for
output. They allow stereo or monaural audio switching of balanced or unbalanced signals, and
in some instances can be ganged in pairs to expand the number of input signals.
Audio Matrix Switchers
This card family allows for simultaneous many-audio-input to many-audio-output connections.
Audio Power Amplifier Cards
Utilizing additional external power, these cards can mix several standard line-level audio signal
inputs with a mic-level input, and deliver the final audio output directly to speakers or line out.
Control Cards
Exercising control over external devices is easy and convenient with this family of cards.
Patch Cables
In many instances you will need to connect the output of one card in a MultiTasker enclosure to
the input of another. This family of patch cables provides handy solutions for those needs.
