MTCHIO Sync Board

(Pyramix and VCube Systems only)

(Merging Technologies CHassis Input Output)

MTCHIO stands for Merging Technologies Chassis Input and Output. (We are very fond of this name,

particularly since we discovered that in French MTCHIO pretty much means “love your puppies”. This

custom panel, located on the rear of the Merging chassis, extends the sync I/O capabilities of the

Mykerinos board with user friendly connectivity and adds some interesting new features. It has been

designed to mirror and improve all the connections found on the Mykerinos optional TC-Breakout cable.
