Introduction

1 Introduction

Dedication by Kramer Electronics since 1981, to the development and

manufacture of high quality video/audio equipment, makes the Kramer line

an integral part of the finest production and presentation facilities in the world.

In recent years, Kramer has redesigned and upgraded most of the line, making

the best even better! The Kramer line of professional video/audio electronics

is one of the most versatile and complete available, and is a true leader in

terms of quality, workmanship, price/performance ratio and innovation. In

addition to our high quality transcoders, we also offer excellent switchers and

matrices, distribution amplifiers, remote controllers, processors, interfaces

and computer-related products.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer FC-14 RGBHV to Component

Transcoder.

This product is ideal for displaying RGB video on:

 Plasma monitors

 Other display devices equipped with component video inputs

The package includes the following items:

 FC-14 RGBHV to Component Transcoder

 Power supply

 This user manual and the Kramer concise product catalog/CD

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 user manual

3 Overview

The high quality Kramer FC-14 RGBHV to Component Transcoder is an

adjustment-free, multi-standard converter that converts RGB video to

component video (Y, B-Y, R-Y, sometimes called YUV or Y, Pb, Pr).

The FC-14 supports different sync variants on the RGB inputs:

 Separate H & V (RGBHV)

 Separate composite sync (RGBS)

 Sync-on-green (RGsB)

 Sync-on-all (RsGsBs)

Your RGBHV to Component Transcoder

KRAMER ELECTRONICS, LTD.

In addition, the FC-14:

 Recognizes any sync polarity and is compatible with both video level

(0.3V) and TTL level syncs

 Transcodes any RGB video (progressive scan or interlaced) to component

format, making it ideal for standard definition video as well as for

high-definition video (VGA, SVGA and XGA)

 Uses high quality analog circuitry – eliminating the artifacts associated

with digitizing and allowing the unit to operate with any video resolution!

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-14 in a

location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

Using Your RGBHV to Component Transcoder

KRAMER ELECTRONICS, LTD.

5.1 Converting an RGB Source

You can convert an RGB signal to Y, B-Y, R-Y, via a FC-14 RGBHV to

Component Transcoder, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, as follows:

1. Connect the RGB video camera to the R, G and B BNC inputs.

2. Connect the Y, B-Y, and R-Y outputs to the BETACAM VCR.

3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity.

4. Press the RGsB input format selector.

The camera’s RGB signal converts and outputs to the BETACAM VCR.

5. Switch on the power.

The Power switch illuminates.

5.2 Converting an RGBS Source

You can convert an RGBS signal to Y, B-Y, R-Y, via a FC-14 RGBHV to

Component Transcoder, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, as follows:

1. Connect the RGBS workstation to the R, G, B and H/S BNC inputs.

2. Connect the Y, B-Y, and R-Y outputs to the plasma monitor.

3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity.

4. Press the RGBS input format selector.
