Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the CEC bypass allow the TV remote's volume control to change the volume of the R/L 3.5mm headphone output?

A: Unfortunately, the Ocean Matrix 4K HDMI to HDMI Audio Extractor/De-Embedder with Dolby ATMOS CEC will not allow the TV's remote to control volume of the 3.5mm output. That will need to be adjusted by using the equipment that the output is connected to.

Q: 2. Does it work bi-directionally? That is, will it switch one source to 3 different displays?

A: We're afraid not. This will allow you to switch between 3 different sources on 1 display. To send one source to multiple displays you need a Splitter, not a switcher. Kanexpro offers B&H # KASPHD201X44, which is a 1x4 HDMI Splitter that is 4K. https://bhpho.to/2JeEMdW

Q: 3. Can you set this to fade between video inputs?

A: That is not possible. This is a basic AV switcher. You would need a production switcher to be able to fade between inputs. The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini HDMI Live Stream Switcher is a great starting option for that, BH #BLSWATEMMIN. https://bhpho.to/2VuTdCS

Q: 4. Will this device successfully output sound via optical out to my DACmagic plus from Cambridge Audio? I am planning on connecting this device with either the new apple tv 4k or roku ultra. I will use my Rega Brio analog only integrated amplifier for 2 channel audio. Many thanks for your guidance.

A: Hi Jacques. While we haven't tested the OMX-05HMHM0001 with the DACMagic unit specifically, we don't foresee any issues. You should be able to connect the TOSLINK output of the OMX-05HMHM0001 right to the input of our DACMagic Plus unit and the extracted audio signal should pass without issue as long as the DACMagic supports the audio format being output. Thank you!

Q: 7. How immediate does the signal switch. I know cheap models have some dead time and blue/black screen when inputs are switched. Is this model instantaneous?

A: The signal switches immediately from the blue ray DVD player back and forth to the DVR (TIVO). When watching TV - and switching back and forth - there is no lag. It works perfectly! No dead time at all.

Q: 8. Does this have HDMI 2?
