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
