CONNECTING TO AUDIO DEVICES 

Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the 

OMX-

SW6x6 

through the RCA connectors located on the rear (see the example in Figure 7).  

USING THE MACHINES 

Powering on the Machine   

NOTES 

1.  The machine should only be powered on after all connections 

are completed, and all source devices have been powered on. 

Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any video, audio or 

control signals to the machine while it is powered on! 

2.  The socket-outlet should be near the equipment and should be 

easily  accessible.  To  fully  disconnect  equipment,  remove 

power cord from socket. 

1.  Press the toggle switch on the far left-hand side of the front panel to the ON position. The toggle switch glows. 

2.  Operate the acceptors. 

Using the Front Panel Controls 

The  front  panels  of 

OMX-SW6x6 

are  designed  to  be  simple  to  operate,  and  accomplish  the  basic 

function of selecting an input source and output device. 

7.2.1 

Selecting an Output   

Output selection on the 

OMX-SW6x6 

is made by pressing any of the buttons marked 

"1" 

to

 "6" 

on 

the front panel. These buttons correspond to output connections as marked on the rear panel. 

7.2.2 

Selecting an Input   

Input selection on the 

OMX-SW6x6 

is made by pressing any of the buttons marked 

"1" 

to

 "6" 

on 

the front panel. These buttons correspond to input connections as marked on the rear panel. 

7.2.3 

Connecting a Video/Audio Input/Output 

To  connect  a  video/audio  Input  to  a  specific  output,  press  the  desired  output  button  (upper  line), 

followed by the desired input button (lower row). 

7.2.4 

Disconnecting a Video/Audio Input 

To disconnect a video/audio Input from a specific output, press the desired output button followed by 

the 

OFF

 button. To disconnect all the outputs, press the 

ALL

 button, followed by the 

OFF

 button. 

7.2.5 

Connecting a Video/Audio Input to All Outputs 

To connect a video/audio Input to all outputs, press the 

ALL

 button followed by the 

INPUT

 button 

corresponding to the input, which is to be routed to all the outputs. 

7.2.6 

Selecting Video/Audio Control (Breakaway) 

For audio control only, press the 

AUDIO

 button. For video control only, press the 

VIDEO

 button. 

Note that the 

STATUS

 window displays audio or video settings in accordance with the selection.  

7.2.7 

Using the Audio Follow Video Mode 

To select "Audio Follow Video" mode, press the 

AFV

 button. Note that if the audio configuration 

differs from the video configuration, the differing audio outputs blink in the 

STATUS

 window of the 

audio display. The 

AUDIO

 and 

TAKE

 buttons blink as well, which means that the audio configuration 

will be modified for AFV operation. Press the 

TAKE

 button to confirm the modification.  

7.2.8 

Storing a Configuration 

To store a configuration, press the 

STO

 button, followed by input or an output button to mark the 

setup  number.  For  example,  press 

STO

  followed  by 

INPUT  #  3

  button

 

to  store  the  current 

configuration in 

Setup # 3

 in the internal non-volatile memory of the switcher. To abort an operation 

of the 

STO

 button once it was pressed, press it again.
