3  Overview 

The 

OMX-SW6x1B

 is a high performance 6x1 vertical interval switcher for 

composite video and balanced audio signals. Switching during the vertical interval 

ensures glitch-free switching when sources share a common reference sync. 
In addition the 

OMX-SW6x1B

Has a bandwidth of 250MHz, that ensures transparent performance even 

in the most critical production, presentation, or broadcast applications  

Includes switching synchronization either to an external reference or the 

incoming video 

May be used as a single unit or expanded to larger switching systems 
Can be operated in parallel for switching component signal formats 
Can be controlled via the front panel buttons, RS-232, RS-485 and 

contact closure 

To achieve the best performance: 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise 

levels (often associated with low quality cables) 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may 

adversely influence signal quality and position your 

OMX-SW6x1B

 in a 

location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
