1 Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your OCEAN MATRIX® OMX-DA10XL
Video Audio Distribution Amplifier. This product comes with a power cord,
and this instruction manual. It is ideal for:
• Audio video duplication studios
• Rental/staging, CCTV, and home theater use
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
• Review the contents of this instruction manual
3 Overview
The OMX-DA10XL is a state-of-the-art 1:10 video audio distribution
amplifier using BNC connectors for composite video, and RCA connectors
for unbalanced stereo audio signals. The OMX-DA10XL accepts a
composite video input and distributes the signal to 10 identical outputs.
In particular, the OMX-DA10XL:
• Includes looping connectors for connecting to a local monitor, other
acceptor, or for forming larger systems1
• Has a video bandwidth of 360 MHZ, ensuring transparent performance
with typical video and audio sources
• Can function as unbalanced stereo audio or balanced2mono audio
(selected via an audio control button)
• Can output video signals that are DC or AC coupled for maximum
flexibility (selected via a coupling button)
• Has front panel video trimmer controls3for output level and cable
1 For example, you can connect 3 OMX-DA10XL units to make a 1:30 video audio distribution amplifier. See section 4.2 for
details
2 Recommended for low signal transmission over long distances or in audio broadcasting studios for high quality signal
recreation
3 The video outputs are arranged in two blocks of 5 outputs (outputs 1 to 5, and outputs 6 to 10). Each block can be separately
trimmed for output level and cable equalization (EQ.) thus achieving different compensations for different cable lengths

equalization (EQ.), as well as audio trimmer controls for left and right gain,
with an enable / disable control button
Achieving the best performance means:
• Connecting 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)
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your OMX-DA10XL away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust

4 Using the OMX-DA10XL Video Audio Distribution Amplifier
You can connect:
• A single OMX-DA10XL unit (see section 4.1)
• Several OMX-DA10XL units to increase the number of outputs (see
section 4.2)
4.1 Connecting a OMX-DA10XL Video Audio Distribution Amplifier
You can connect a single OMX-DA10XL Video Audio Distribution
Amplifier unit as a 1:10 video audio DA, in which audio is unbalanced stereo
audio (left and right) or balanced mono audio (+ and -).
To connect the OMX-DA10XL as a 1:10 video unbalanced stereo audio
DA, do the following3:
1. Connect a video audio source (for example, a composite VCR) to the
VIDEO IN BNC connector and to the left and right AUDIO IN RCA
connectors.
2. Connect the 104VIDEO OUT BNC connectors and the 10 left and right
AUDIO OUTPUT RCA connectors to the video audio acceptors51 to 10.
3. Connect the power cord to the mains electricity.
4. Push in the Term button to terminate the line to 75Ω.
1 For looping select Hi-Z
2 Achieving the best linearity and signal fidelity
3 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your OMX-DA10XL. After connecting your OMX-DA10XL,
switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device
4 As required. Up to 10 outputs can be connected on the OMX-DA10XL. Not all outputs need to be connected
5 For example, VCR units

5. Release the BAL/ST button to select unbalanced stereo audio operation.
6. Adjust1the video trimmer controls2for output signal level and/or cable
compensation equalization level, if required.
7. If audio control adjustment is required for left and/or right gain, push in
Enable/Disable button, and then adjust1the trimmer controls.
4.2 Increasing the Outputs
You can increase the number of outputs by interconnecting OMX-DA10XL
units. The example in Figure 2 illustrates how to connect 3 units to increase
the number of outputs from 10 to 30.
To form a 1:30 video and unbalanced stereo audio DA, do the following3:
1. Connect a video audio source (for example, a composite VCR) to the
VIDEO IN BNC connector and to the left and right AUDIO IN RCA
connectors of the first OMX-DA10XL unit.
2. Connect the video LOOP BNC connector of the:
• First OMX-DA10XL unit to the VIDEO IN BNC connector of the
second VM-10xl unit
• Second OMX-DA10XL unit to the VIDEO IN BNC connector of the
third OMX-DA10XL unit
3. Connect the left and right AUDIO LOOP RCA connectorsof the:
• First OMX-DA10XL unit to the left and right AUDIO IN RCA
connectors of the second OMX-DA10XL unit
• Second OMX-DA10XL unit to the left and right AUDIO IN RCA
connectors of the third OMX-DA10XL unit
4. Connect the 10 VIDEO OUT BNC connectors and the 10 left and right
AUDIO OUTPUT RCA connectors of the:
• First OMX-DA10XL unit to the video audio acceptors41 to 10
• Second OMX-DA10XL unit to the video audio acceptors411 to 20
• Third OMX-DA10XL unit to the video audio acceptors421 to 30
1 Insert a screwdriver into the hole and carefully rotate it, to trim the level
2 The video outputs are arranged in two blocks of 5 outputs (outputs 1 to 5, and outputs 6 to 10). Each block can be separately
trimmed for output level and cable equalization (EQ.) thus achieving different compensations for different cable lengths
3 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your OMX-DA10XL units. After connecting the
OMX-DA10XL units, switch on their power and then switch on the power on each device

5. On the first and second OMX-DA10XL units, release the Term button.
On the third OMX-DA10XL unit, push in the Term button to terminate
the line to 75Ω.
6. On each
OMX-DA10XL unit:
• Connect the power cord to the mains electricity
• Release the BAL/ST buttons to select unbalanced stereo audio operation
• Adjust1the video trimmer controls2for output signal level and/or cable
compensation equalization level, if required
• If audio control adjustment is required for left and/or right gain, push in
the Enable/Disablebuttons, and then adjust1the trimmer controls
