KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY 
Your FC-4001 Format Converter / TBC 
2 
 Has a looped input for synchronizing to an external source 
 Has a highly stable internal generator for independent (non-genlocked) 
applications 
 Outputs two SDI signals, the Sync signal, and either: Component video 
(Y, B-Y, and R-Y; or RGBS), or when Component video is not selected, both 
Composite video and s-Video simultaneously, which is selected on dipswitches 
 Lets you determine the output video standard (PAL B, PAL M, PAL N, 
NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, and SECAM) via the dipswitches 
Note, however, that the FC-4001 does not convert between video standards. 
In addition, the FC-4001 features: 
 Front panel buttons for input selection (CV, Y/C, YUV, RGB/S, and 
SDI), Genlock, freeze and panel lock 
 Coarse trimmers and fine trimmers for adjusting the sync phase, and the 
horizontal-to-subcarrier phase (SCH) 
 Control via the front panel buttons; and remotely, by RS-232 serial 
commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller 
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 Kramer FC-4001 away 
from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
