MultiTasker Design Guide
®
The ALTINEX MultiTasker is the new, modular system for customizing signal management
solutions for a variety of audio, video, and control signals. With MultiTasker, you can accomplish
distribution, switching, matrix switching, and signal conversion in one comprehensive rack-based
system. And, as a modular system, you can change the configuration and re-program functionality with a minimum of component change.
This Design Guide will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the MultiTasker system
— how it works, what options are available, and how to design a MultiTasker-based signal management system to meet your audio-visual requirements. It is organized into four basic sections
— an Introduction, Product Information, Sample Configurations, and a Quick Reference guide.
Introduction
The introduction provides a quick tutorial on the conventions used throughout the guide, as well
as a procedural guide to designing a MultiTasker System. It explains the symbols used in each
product’s block diagram, and describes the various function groupings of MultiTasker cards to
help you identify the right ones for your signal management system.
Product Information
In the Product Information section, the products have been grouped according to the functionality
that they share, with the differences in specific features listed in the initial product comparison at
the head of each product group page. A line drawing of the front panel follows, alongside a representative photo, which illustrates the input and output connector placement. On the facing page
are the functional block diagrams for each card. These diagrams illustrate the signal flow through
the card, and define such options as expandability, switching, and special options such as on/off
control or signal detect. The Design Tips part of each product group will mention design requirements and dependencies, suggest alternative usages for extending the functionality of the products in that group, and list important accessories for full utilization of those products.
Sample Configurations
Sample Configurations show how various signal management challenges can be efficiently, effectively, and comprehensively met with a MultiTasker solution. Each one starts by defining input
and output requirements using signal block diagrams. The components necessary to achieve the
desired objectives are then chosen and shown in the assembled MultiTasker configuration.
Quick Reference
The Quick Reference fold-out chart provides a single-page view of all the MultiTasker products
profiled in this guide, and allows side-by-side comparison of their distinguishing specifications.
ALTINEX Technology
ALTINEX is at the forefront of developing new technologies to solve the more persistent challenges in signal distribution. Following are some terms you will encounter frequently in this guide:
• GLI on-board was developed to eliminate ground loops, thereby removing the symptoms of
TM
rolling hum bars and other artifacts in video signals, and hum in unbalanced audio.
• Screen Blanking prevents the annoying “No Signal Present” message from appearing on displays while allowing the user to turn off, or “blank” the actual computer signal.
• Sync Delay promotes graceful switching between computer video signal sources, without the
visual “glitch” that commonly occurs during the transition from one source to another.

How to Configure a MultiTasker System
The following design steps provide a basic methodology to create a MultiTasker solution:
1. Identify all of the signal sources — computers, cameras, microphones, etc.— their signal
formats and connector types. If there are computer sources, make note of what resolutions
and refresh rates they will be used at. In the example on the facing page, note that the computer source has been defined to deliver an XGA resolution video signal, as well as stereo
audio (see Figure 1).
2. Identify all of the signal destinations — monitors, projectors, or recorders — and make note
of their signal compatibility, connectors, resolutions and refresh rates they support.
3. Choose a video format standard. Just as broadcast video can be routed in composite, S-Video
or component signal formats (Y, Pr, Pb/Y, R-Y, B-Y), computer video can be routed as
RGsB, RGBS or RGBHV analog formats or DVI digital formats. Choose standards reflecting the minimal number of format changes, and with which the displays are compatible.
With computer video, make sure that the sync signal format is compatible with all display
and conversion devices.
4. Verify scan rate compatibility — make sure that the output devices can display the input signals, or that the appropriate signal converter is specified into the MultiTasker system.
5. Choose a connector type to minimize the number of conversions necessary, and thereby
reduce the potential for signal degradation. In the example on the facing page the 15-pin HD
connector type from the source computer output is maintained throughout the signal flow
diagram. The audio signal, however, is converted from 3.5mm connector output to RCA
jacks, for better connectivity to a variety of output devices.
6. Create a signal flow diagram, noting any special features required from each component of
the block diagram. In the example on the facing page, all signals are defined and identified
by type and connector.
7. Select a control method and user interface — push-button, controller, computer, or none.
8. Select the appropriate MultiTasker components to accomplish the required signal routing.
In the example on the facing page, the signal function, resolution and connector requirements were used to pick the appropriate cards from the VGA DA card group and Audio DA
card group (see Figure 2). Finally, the eight-slot enclosure was chosen as the best size to fit
the system requirements (Figure 3).
ALTINEX technical support is available to help you with any step in this process.

How to Choose Components in a MultiTasker System
To find the right Multitasker component for each function in your system, the following determinations need to be accomplished in the following order:
1. Decide which basic function that a particular card needs to perform: Distribution? Switching?
Signal conversion?
2. Look within that function group to determine which card handles the correct signal format
and has the proper connector.
3. From the resulting sub-group of cards, choose the one that has the appropriate number of
inputs and outputs, and meets the performance specifications and special functions required.
MultiTasker components have been organized into the following function groups:
Enclosures
These are the starting points in any MultiTasker system. They hold the other components of the
system and provide power and control signals to them. Multiple enclosures can be “ganged” to
accomplish more extensive signal management. Although listed separately, a front panel must
always be ordered with an enclosure.
Front Panels
The front panel is typically chosen to support the level of functionality required by the cards
being used in the MultiTasker system. For simple audio and video distribution, just a simple
faceplate will suffice. For external control of switching, a front panel with an RS-232 control
interface is necessary. There is also a front panel with push-button control available.
Video Distribution Amplifier Cards
These cards take a video signal input and condition it or amplify it for distribution to one or
many outputs. They support different bandwidth signals, and different combinations of distribution, expansion, output on-off control, and ground-loop protection capabilities.
VGA-Type Distribution Amplifier Cards
Much like the Video DA group, these cards take in one computer video signal and condition it
or amplify it for distribution to one or many outputs. They offer support VGA to QXGA-bandwidth distribution of computer video signals, along with varying combinations of distribution,
expansion, output on-off control, and ground-loop protection capabilities.
Video Switcher Cards
A video switcher allows you switch between two or more input signals, choosing one for output.
These cards work directly with composite video, S-Video, or can be ganged in groups of three to
five in order to switch component video (Y, Pb, Pr/Y, R-Y, B-Y), RGsB, RGBS or RGBHV. Also
offered in this group are varying combinations of expansion and output on-off control capabilities.
VGA-Type Switcher Cards
The VGA-type Switcher family of cards allows you to switch between many input computer
video signals to choose one for output. They support switching of VGA through QXGA bandwidth computer video signals, along with varying combinations of expansion and output on-off
control capabilities.
Video Matrix Switcher Cards
Matrix cards allow for simultaneous connections of many inputs to many outputs. Using these
cards, multiple computer or video inputs can be routed to multiple monitors or other displays.

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 configurations, these cards offer different combinations of distribution, expansion, output on-off control, 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.

19-Slot Enclosure
MT100-100
The MT100-100 enclosure consists of 19 slots, a power supply, and a backplane to route
power and control signals to the cards. On the back panel of the 19-slot enclosure is an
IEC-320 male power connector, an on-off switch, and a 9-pin D-sub female connector for
external RS-232 control. (RS-232 control is activated only when used in conjunction with a
front panel that provides control capability to the cards installed in the enclosure).
A front panel must be chosen with this enclosure; three are available, each with different
capabilities to complement the functionality of the cards used in the enclosure. Optionally, a
second power supply may be installed, either for redundancy in mission-critical applications
or if more power is required by a large number of scan conversion or scaling cards.
To keep dust out, unused slots should be covered by separately
available slot covers (MT200-105: package of five blank covers).

8-Slot Enclosure
MT100-101
The MT100-101 enclosure consists of 8 slots and a backplane to route power and control signals to the cards. On the back panel of the 8-slot enclosure is an IEC-320 male power connector, an on-off switch, and a 9-pin D-sub female connector for external RS-232 control. (RS-232
control is activated only when used in conjunction with a front panel that provides control capability to the cards installed in the enclosure).
A front panel must be chosen with this enclosure; three are available, each with different
capabilities to complement the functionality of the cards used in the enclosure. Each front
panel includes the power supply for the unit.
To keep dust out, unused slots should be covered by separately
available slot covers (MT200-105: package of five blank covers).

MT103-114
Design Tips
• Use to prevent and remove “hum bars” in computer video image
• Equalization compensates for cable attenuation over 25–300 ft. (7.6–91m) cable runs
• Compatible with VGA through QXGA signals
• Also supports RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB format signals (with proper cable adapter)
• To convert 15-pin HD to BNCs use MS8102CA (six foot/1.8 meter, 15-pin HD male to
five-BNC male) or MS8106CA (six foot/1.8 meter, 15-pin HD male to five-BNC female)

Design Tips
• Use internal jumpers to set up for use as 2 x 6, 3 x 5, 4 x 4, 5 x 3, or 6 x 2 matrix
• Use multiple cards for multi-signal formats, i.e., two cards for S-Video, three for RGB or
component, five for RGBHV
• May be used as 1 x 3, 2 x 2 or 3x1 S-Video matrix using 2 BNCs per source (chroma/luma)
• Matrix switching is controlled via RS-232 commands through the MultiTasker enclosure,
or front panel control with a push-button front panel
• For S-Video sources, adapt two BNCs to a four-pin mini-DIN using ALTINEX
MS8132MG (12 inch/30.5 cm, four-pin mini-DIN male to two-BNC male) or ALTINEX
MS8133MG (12 inch/30.5 cm, four-pin mini-DIN female to two-BNC male)

Appendix A:
Controlling a MultiTasker System
This section provides a brief overview of how the MultiTasker is controlled by any device capable
of delivering ASCII characters through an RS-232 (or compatible) port, including PC computers
and touch-panel control devices. This is not a comprehensive set of programming commands, nor
is it a reference for programming a MultiTasker front panel with push buttons. Also, some of the
commands listed here will behave differently from card to card. For a comprehensive list of commands for a particular card, see the ALTINEX website (http://www.altinex.com).
MultiTasker Control Software — available free from ALTINEX — is an excellent tool to control
MultiTasker units from a Windows® PC. See “Appendix B: MuktiTasker Control Software” for
more information on how that program is used.
In the following examples, all commands sent to the MultiTasker will appear in THIS FONT; feedback information from the MultiTasker will look LIKE THIS.
A typical command for the MultiTasker will consist of three parts: function, card ID, and unit ID.
For example, [ON5C3U0] enables the number 5 input (when used with a switching card) or output
(of a distribution amplifier with output on-off control) on the card in slot 3 in MultiTasker unit 0.
The slot number that a card is plugged into is an intrinsic part of any command sent to a MultiTasker system; once a control system has been programmed, the cards should not be moved into
different slots or MultiTasker enclosures, or else the system may need to be re-programmed. Note
the following rules when issuing commands to a MultiTasker unit:
1. Square brackets [ ] are required to start and end most commands; others (not discussed
here) use curly brackets { }.
2. Use uppercase letters for all commands.
3. Commands must be executed without any spaces.
The following syntax is used to describe how commands are sent to a MultiTasker unit:
• Specific input (or output) numbers are identified with the lower-case letter m after
a command
• Specific cards are identified following the upper-case letter C with the lower-case
letter n
• Groups of cards can be addressed simultaneously; specific groups are identified
following the upper-case letter G with the lower-case k
• Specific MultiTasker enclosures (Units) are identified following the upper-case letter U
with the lower-case letter i (when more than one MultiTasker enclosure is used)
Example: the [ON] command uses the syntax [ONmCnUi] or [ONmGkUi]
Note: when using only one enclosure in a MultiTasker configuration, the unit identifier (U0)
need not be included in a command.
Multiple Enclosure Setup
If your MultiTasker system will use more than one enclosure connected to the same control
port, you will need to set the “Unit ID” of each enclosure using the following procedure:

1. With the power to all units turned off, connect all MultiTasker units to the control unit
by “looping” a control cable (ALTINEX # RC5215MT recommended) from the RS232 port of one unit to the next.
2. Turn on the power switch to only one unit, then send the ASCII command
[SETU0] — this will set the powered unit ID to 0, even after the unit power is
turned off.
3. Turn off unit 0 and turn on the next unit.
4. Send the command [SETU1], thereby setting the second unit ID to 1.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the number of units you are using, and increment the unit
number for each successive unit. Up to 10 units may be looped this way.
Note: Since MultiTasker enclosures are pre-set from the factory with Unit ID=0, you may
start this process with the second enclosure and use ID=1.
Common Commands Used to Control the MultiTasker
To turn on an output of a distribution amplifier card with output on-off control, or to turn
on one input of a switcher card (which turns off the other inputs), use the [ON] command
as follows:
[ONmCnUi] to turn on one input or output, where
m = input or output number
n = card slot number
i = unit number
To turn off an output of a distribution amplifier card with output on-off control, or to turn off
the input of a switcher card, use the [OFF] command as follows:
[OFFmCnUi] to turn off one input or output, or [OFFCnUi] to turn off all inputs
or outputs
A command can be issued to a single card, or to a group of cards. (This is useful when using
several cards to manage a multi-channel signal, for instance when using five cards to manage
RGBHV signals.) Cards can be grouped using the [WR] command as follows:
[WRCnCoCpCq…GkUi] where
n, o, p, q = card slot numbers
k = group number
Other commands can now refer to the group as they would a single card, by substituting
G for C in the command string. Each enclosure can contain up to a maximum of nine groups.
Example: [WRC1C2C3G5U1]
After executing this command, card 1, 2, and 3 of unit 1 will be grouped as group 5. To clear
the members of a specified group, issue the command
[CLRG5U1]

Pre-setting Path Statements
Sometimes it’s useful to pre-set a series of commands (without executing them), and then issue
a switching command to execute all of the pre-set commands. The MultiTasker system allows
for this kind of control by offering the [...P] and [SW] commands.
Example: The following illustration uses all of the commands discussed thus far in performing simultaneous audio and video switching. Switching will occur between two
RGBHV sources, connected to five MT104-100 6-in 1-out switching cards, with each card
used for one of the R, G, B, H, and V channels of the computer inputs. All audio will be
switched using one MT109-100 unbalanced input audio switching card. To accomplish
this switching we will first group the video cards into one group — the “RGBHV” group,
then pre-set a series of commands to be executed all at once, in the order in which they
were pre-set. First, we create the RGBHV group and turn off all inputs to the video group
and audio card:
[WRC1C2C3C4C5G1U0] groups the five MT104-100s in slots 1 through 5 into Group #1
[OFFG1U0] turns off all inputs to the RGBHV group
[OFFC6U0] turns off all inputs to the audio card in slot 6
Now we are ready to select input #3 on both the audio and video cards simultaneously.
[ON3G1U0P] prepares to turn on input3 of the RGBHV group, but does not execute
the command
[ON3C6U0P] prepares to turn on input3 of the audio card in slot 6, but does not execute
the command
[SW] - Switches to input 3 of both the video group and audio card simultaneously
Getting Feedback from MultiTasker
The MultiTasker system is designed to provide feedback, should such a need arise. For instance,
to find out which cards are members of a group, issue the command [RDGkUi].
Example:
To read member data for group 3 of unit 2, send the command [RDG3U2]. The system
will return feedback as
C6C7C8C9C10 G3U2
where the members in the group are identified as card #6 through card #10, and the
group and unit number are returned as well.
Most of the aforementioned commands can also have the [...F] command added at the end of the
command string for feedback on the execution of a command. The return string will be either
OK or ERxx, where xx corresponds to an error code specific to the type of card receiving the
command. See that card’s user’s guide for a detailed explanation of a specific error code.
Another common command used for feedback is the Card status command:
[CnUi] returns status from card
Example:
To find out the status of the card in slot 2 of unit 3, send the command [C2U3]; the
MultiTasker will return:
ON456 C2 where
ON456 = inputs (or outputs, depending on card type) 4, 5, and 6 are on
C2 = Card ID # 2 (slot 2)

Matrix switch command: connects input “x” to output “y”
Adds one step per plus sign to multi-step range (Volume, Brightness, etc.
Subtracts 1 step per minus sign from multi-step range (Volume,
Brightness, etc.)
Writes data “yy” to register “xx” in card “n” (used in more complex cards)
[SELmCnUi][-][-][-]...
[WRxxyyCnUi]
As you can see, the MultiTasker command set is a robust, easy-to-use structure which can be
executed from any device capable of sending ASCII characters via RS-232.

Programming the control of MultiTasker systems is easy with this user-friendly interface. Each
button is individually programmed with a combination of ASCII-based instructions, other button functions, dual-action instructions, and titling of the button. Even the interface can be customized with panel, button and text colors, and logo replacement.
Once configured, MultiTasker Control Software communicates with the MultiTasker Units
from the COM port of any Windows-based PC. You are given the choice of which COM port
to use; all other configuration is automatic.
Buttons can be programmed
to execute MultiTasker
instructions, or to hide
(for formatting purposes).
Communication is executed
through the COM port of a PC.
