Ocean Matrix OMX-9040, Manual

When hooking up a complex setup of several devices, you may find 

yourself in a maze of wires, which is difficult to manage, cumbersome and 
possibly dangerous. The 

OMX-9040 3x1 Video Switcher

 offers an 

innovative solution to many of the problems arising from switching, editing 
and signal distribution. 

The 

OMX-9040 3x1 Video Switcher

 is simple-to-operate , tiny 

sized, having three Composite videoinputs and one Composite video output.  

The OMX-9040 can be used as: 

⌦ 

Video production studios and video field work, delivering 
undiminished quality video switching. 

⌦ 

Video showrooms, shops and CCTV applications. 

In the 

OMX-9040,

 video signals are switched by means of digital 

control pulses during the Vertical Interval. 
 

Operation 

$ 

Connect all inputs to the sources to be switched, taking care to use the 
right high quality cables.  

$ 

Connect the output to the acceptor, again use high quality cables. 

$ 

Connect a 12 VDC power supply (wall transformer, car battery, 
battery belt etc.) to the DC in socket on the rear panel of the machine. 
Check for proper polarity. 

$ 

Turn on all units - sources, acceptor and the 

OMX-9040

 machine by 

applying power to it. 

$ 

If there is no video signal connected to input #1, then the 

OMX-9040 

machine operates as an electronic switcher without Vertical Interval 
switching.  

Application Hints 

⌦ 

In emergency cases, the 

OMX-9040 

may be operated using a 9 Volt 

battery as power source which will last for several hours. 

⌦ 

Use a Kramer 

OMX-7019 

to distribute the output of the 

OMX-9040 

up

to five acceptors (the 

OMX-7019

 is also 12V DC fed.) 

⌦ 

The Vertical Interval Switching capability of the 

OMX-9040 

allows 

to use the unit as an inexpensive backup for a big studio switcher.

such interference ends. If not, turn the power switch off and on again to reset 
the machine.
