MT106-103

Video Scaler Card

The 

MT106-103

Scaler converts composite  video

(C-Video), S-Video, and component  video into a
high-resolution RGBHV/component video output.

A VGA through SXGA computer signal input can be 
switched to the output via a pass-through input.  
The C-Video and S-Video inputs accept NTSC and 
PAL standards. These inputs are

scaled to 

VGA through SXGA computer video resolutions or 
component video output resolutions 480p, 567p, 
720p, or 1080i.

The 

MT106-103

is controlled using the MultiTasker 

command language.  Available commands allow 
input selection, image control/adjustment including 
contrast, brightness, color, tint, and sharpness.  In 
addition, the 

MT106-103

incorporates noise 

reduction filters and sophisticated 3D comb filtering.

The HelpInside feature allows programmers to 
have access to command structures and control of 
the 

MT106-103

from any terminal. This technology 

provides easier-than-ever control of the 

MT106-103

card with simple keyboard commands. No typing of 
long keyboard strings is necessary.

The 

MT106-103

also has menu-driven protocol 

implemented for easier RS-232 control, eliminating 
the need to type lengthy commands for video signal 
adjustments.
