Step 1. Decide what type of output signal is required for each output. (Video or Sync) Square brackets “[ command. 2. Use uppercase letters for all commands. Step 2. Set the jumpers on the output card(s) as necessary. See DIAGRAM 2 and DIAGRAM 3 for switch locations. ]” are part of the Commands that end in "S" will be saved into memory. Commands not ending in "S" will still be executed but will not be restored when the system is reset or powered off and then power on. Step 3. Determine the number of slots required for the MT107-100, including the add-on cards. The base MT107-100 requires two slots, and a fully loaded 64X64 Matrix engine requires 16 slots. 7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS Each command consists of Function, Card ID, and Unit ID. Step 4. Carefully, slide the MT107-100 into available slots in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure in order to connect to the bus. Make sure that the MT107-100 cards fits into place. three parts: [ Function , Card ID , Unit ID ] Example: [VERC3U2] VER = Function C3 = Card or Group ID U2 = Unit ID Step 6. Secure the cards to the Multi-Tasker™ by tightening the retainer screws located on the top and bottom of each card. For Function, see a detailed explanation under each command description. Step 7. Connect a cable from the video source to one of the input connectors on the MT107-100 and one of the output connectors to a display device through a cable. The Card ID is an assigned value. It is equal to the enclosure slot number in which the card is installed. The value can range from 1 to 4 up to 1 to 20 depending on the enclosure. Step 8. Starting from the left, identify the slot number where the MT107-100 INPUT CONNECTOR CARD is plugged into the Enclosure (left slot of the Engine). Make note of the slot number. It is required for RS-232 control. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller. See the MT100-100 User’s Guide for details. OPERATION 7 Changing the position of a card will significantly affect the commands recorded on software definitions or third party control systems. When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, the MT107-100 has many advanced remote control capabilities, which are accessible through standard RS-232 communication. The actual controlling can be accomplished through a computer control system or any other device capable of sending RS-232 commands. The 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 zero, each command may be used without Ui. Use the command [SETU0], as explained in the MT100-100 User’s Guide. The Group ID is a number representing a group of cards defined with the [WR] command. When using the Group ID, all cards in the group will perform the given instruction. 7.1 RS-232 CONTROL Example: [VERC3]: 7.1.1 RS-232 INTERFACE For Unit ID Zero [VERC3Ui]: For Unit ID other than Zero The RS-232 commands, for the MT107-100, are in a simple ASCII character format. 9 MULTI-TASKER™ [VERC3]: Equivalent to [VERC3U0] Matrix 1 is the active matrix. Matrix 1 is a 64X64 matrix with no input offset and no output offset. The channel width is one and the channel spacing is zero. All 64 channels are ON, the input audio level is set to the maximum of 32 and each input is connected to its corresponding output. 1. [VER] This command displays the firmware version and card type for the MT107-100 card. Command Format: [VERCnUi] Cn = Engine Card Slot Number 3. [MAT] Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) This command sets the matrix configuration for the matrix engine. Example: There is an MT107-100 card is in slot #2. Send the command [VERC2] and the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure will return feedback as: Command Format: [MATj,mm,ww,xx,yy,kk,ll,CnUiS] j MT107-100 690-0159-003 = Matrix ID (j = # from 1 to 9) The following properties MUST be entered in two (2) digit format.

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) S = Save This property saves the configuration to Matrix ID memory and will allow the configuration to be recalled any time, even after power up or reset. Adding the 'S' to the command will also make the matrix configuration the default at power up. The last configuration ID created and saved will be the default at power up. In order to change the power up default without having to redefine the settings, see the command [MjCnS]. Matrix Configuration Definitions: 2. [C] This command displays the active matrix configuration settings. Command Format: [CnUi] Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: An MT107-100 in slot #7. When sending the command [C7], feedback will be returned as: Matrix number:1 Matrix size:64X64 Input offset:00 Output offset:00 Channel width:01 Channel space:00 Ch1 In1 Out1 ON AudioL32 Ch1 In2 Out2 ON AudioL32 … Ch1 In63 Out63 ON AudioL32 Ch1 In64 Out64 ON AudioL32 Description of Feedback: The first line lists the matrix number, 1 to 9.

Default Configuration INPUT CARDS 8 If the channel width and spacing are different, then the number of inputs will be lower. For example, in a 32X32 matrix with a width of 4 and a spacing of 7, the number of inputs would be 8. See Example 1 in this section for specifics. Number of Outputs: Same as for Inputs. … Add On 3 57 17 9 58 18 10 ! 59 19 11 60 20 12 61 21 13 62 22 14 63 23 15 64 24 16 Input Offset: The offset defines where Input #1 will be in reference to Input #1 on the Input Connector Card. Typically, Input #1 would be Input #1 of the base card. However, an offset of 8 will make Input #1 start at the actual Input #9. Example 1: 5. Output Offset: Same as for Input Offset. Inputs = 08 6. Channel Width: The number of signals per channel. The default width is one. Outputs = 08 7. Channel Spacing: The default spacing is zero. When dealing with multi-cabled signals, the spacing is typically one less than the number of inputs on a single card. 1 2 3 … 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 8 Add On 17 57 18 58 19 " 59 20 60 21 61 22 62 23 63 24 64 Input Offset = 00 Output Offset = 00 Width = 04 Spacing = 07 Matrix Assembly Layout: main 1 Add Add Base Base Add Add On On Unit Unit On On 4.

[…P] – Path This command will set the path for the output, but it is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are not executed immediately. The path for outputs on multiple cards or the same card can be preset The Engine Card is in slot #8. Adjust the volume on Input 2. The current volume level is set to 10. After sending the following commands, a better volume level of 15 is obtained: 1. [SEL02C8] The current volume level is 10. Example 1: 2. [–][–][–] The level is now 7 and is too quiet. 3. [+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+] The level is now 15 and no further adjustments are required. There is a Matrix Engine slot #9. To enable outputs 1 and 2 simultaneously, use the following commands: [ON1C9P] [ON2C9P] [SW] 17. [VOL] This command sets the absolute volume level for a given input. Example 2: There is a Matrix Engine in slot#9 and one regular video switcher in slot #1. Connect Input 1 of the Engine Card in slot #9 to Output 64 while simultaneously disabling the outputs for the card in slot #1. In order to accomplish this, send the following commands: Command Format: [VOLmmAvCnUi] mm = Input (2 digit # from 01 to 64) Av = Volume Level (# from 01 to 32) Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) [IN1O64C9 P] [OFFC1P] [SW] Example: Set the volume level for Input 20, of the Engine Card in slot #8, to a level of 16 using the command [VOL20A16C8]. 15. [SW] – Switch The switch command immediately connects inputs and outputs, which were previously set with the PATH command on this card or any other cards in the MT100-100. See the PATH command for examples. 18. [SDI] This command is used to detect if there is a signal present on one input or all inputs. The system will return feedback along the following: 16. [SEL] with [ + ] and [ – ] In1 Signal ON = YES a signal is present. or In1 Signal OFF = NO, there is no signal. This command is the volume select command. It sets the path to adjust the input volume level of the current matrix and is used in conjunction with the [+] and [–] commands. SINGLE INPUT Command Format: [SDImmCnUi] 14 MULTI-TASKER™ mm = Input (2 digit # from 01 to 64) Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Check for a signal on Output 1 of the Engine in slot #8 by sending the command [SDO01C8 ]. If a signal present on Output 1, the following feedback will be returned: Example: CHECK ONE INPUT Out1 Signal ON Check for a signal on Input 1 of the Engine in slot #8 by sending the command [SDI01C8]. If there is a signal present on Input 1, the system will return the following feedback: ALL OUTPUTS Command Format: [SDOCnUi] Cn = Engine Card Slot Number In1 Signal ON Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) ALL INPUTS Example: CHECK ALL OUTPUTS Command Format: [SDICnUi] Check for a signal on all outputs of the Engine in slot #8 by sending the command [SDOC8]. In this case, there is a signal present on Output 1, but the rest have no signals. The system will return the following feedback: Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: CHECK ALL INPUTS Check for a signal on all inputs of the Engine in slot #8 by sending the command [SDIC8]. In this case, there is a signal on Input 1, but the rest have no signals. The system will return the following feedback: Out1 Signal ON Out2 Signal OFF Out3 Signal OFF Out4 Signal OFF … Out63 Signal OFF Out64 Signal OFF In1 Signal ON In2 Signal OFF In3 Signal OFF In4 Signal OFF … In63 Signal OFF In64 Signal OFF 20. [VIS] This command activates and deactivates the VIS feature. If the VIS feature is active, and no switching pulse is present within 20mS, switching will be performed on a regular basis. 19. [SDO] This command is used to detect if there is a signal present on one output or all outputs. The system will return feedback along the following: Command Format: [VIS=pCnUi] p Out1 Signal ON = YES a signal is present. or Out1 Signal OFF = NO, there is no signal. = Variable for activation/deactivation of VIS 0 = VIS is turned OFF 1 = VIS is turned ON Cn = Engine Card Slot Number SINGLE OUTPUT Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Command Format: [SDOmmCnUi] Example: mm = Output (2 digit # from 01 to 64) Turn OFF the VIS for the Engine Card in slot #8. Send the command [VIS=0C8]. Then check the status of the VIS circuit with the next command [TVIS]. Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: CHECK ONE OUTPUT 15 MULTI-TASKER™ This command displays information available for the Multi-Tasker interface commands. 21. [TVIS] This command is used to test if the VIS circuit is ON or OFF. Command Format: [HELPCnUi] Command Format: [TVISCnUi] Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: Example: In order to display the RS-232 commands available for the MT107-100 card in slot 2, send the command [HELPC2]. The commands along with a brief description will be displayed in the Terminal Window. Test the VIS circuit for the Engine Card in slot #8. Send the command [TVISC8] and the system will return the following feedback: VIS circuit ON 25. [WR] 22. [CLR] This command groups multiple cards in the Enclosure. Each unit contains a maximum of eight groups. This command resets the MT107-100 to the manufacturer's settings. The matrix configuration is set to Matrix 1, but the matrix definitions are not cleared using this command. In Multi-Tasker™ systems with audio and video cards, boards are typically grouped as follows: Command Format: [CLRCnUi] Group 1 = Video Cards Group 2 = Audio Cards Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards Cn = Engine Card Slot Number Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: If assigning group commands to button functions, it is best to use the "Press and Hold on Power Up" to make group settings. Clear the MT107-100 with Engine Card in slot #12. To do this, send the command [CLRC12]. The system will return the following feedback immediately: Command Format: [WRCn…GkUi] Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots) Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8) Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9) PLEASE WAIT CARD IS PERFORMING FACTORY RESET IT WILL TAKE COUPLE OF MINUTES Upon completion, the following will be displayed. Example: To group cards 1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of Unit ID 1, send the command [WRC1C2C3G5U1]. After executing this command, cards 1, 2 and 3 will be grouped together as group 5 of Unit ID 1. FACTORY RESET COMPLETED 23. [TEST] This command performs a series of internal tests on the matrix engine memory. Upon completion, the system will display the results. This feedback will be similar to the following example: MEMORY IC TEST RESULTS: MEMORY IC PASS 24. [HELP] 16 MULTI-TASKER™ Example: 26. [CLR] Group 5 of Unit ID 1 contains the cards in slots 1, 2 and 19. Read the member data for group 5 of Unit ID 1.
