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.

to www.kramerav.com/downloads/FC-17 to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor

matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

•Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer FC-17 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

Overview

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer FC-17 4K HDMI Converter Tool.

FC-17 is a versatile HDMI 4K@60Hz (4:4:4/4:2:0) converter tool. FC-17 can convert from 4:4:4

to 4:2:0 color sampling and offers EDID management via a user-friendly Windows application.

It also enables inter-operability between HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4 systems. FC-17 acts as an

HDMI extender that equalizes and recovers TMDS data before re-transmitting, thus increasing

the HDMI cable range from the output.

Exceptional Quality

•Max. Resolution – 4K@60Hz (4:4:4).

•HDMI Support – Up to HDMI 2.0.

•HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 Compliant.

•HDMI Embedded Audio.

•Kramer Equalization and re-Klocking™ Technology – Rebuilds the digital signal integrity to

travel longer distances.

Advanced and User-friendly Operation

•EDID Options – Via DIP-switch setup: default (internal), external (sink) or user-defined.

•LED status display that indicates input and output color sampling schemes and HDCP

mechanisms.

•USB Port – For application control and upgrading firmware.

FC-17 - Introduction

Typical Applications

The FC-17 is ideal for the following typical applications:

•Compatibility between different HDMI and HDCP compliant devices.

•EDID management.

•Sending 4K signals over HDBaseT by Converting from 4K60 4:4:4 to 4K60 4:2:0, or 4K50

4:4:4 to 4K50 4:2:0.

•Sending 4K signals over lower bandwidth systems such as fiber optics and TCP/IP.

Controlling your FC-17

Control your FC-17 via the DIP-switches on the rear panel, see Setting the DIP-Switches

on page 6. Use the EDID Manager Application, to manage and modify the EDID, see

Managing EDID on page 7.

SAMPLING OUTPUT LEDs

Indicate the output chroma sub-sampling and color space.

HDCP INPUT LEDs

Indicate the input HDCP standard.

HDCP OUTPUT LEDs Indicate the output HDCP standard.

LED

Lights green when the unit is powered on; changes to red to indicate that

a successful USB LINK is established via the EDID Manager software.

HDMI IN Connector

Connect to an HDMI source.

HDMI OUT Connector

Connect to the HDMI acceptor.

EDID DIP-Switches DIP 1 (INT): When ON (down), the source sees the internal default EDID.

DIP 2 (EXT): When ON (down), the source reads the EDID of the

acceptor that is connected to the HDMI output.

DIP 3 (USER): When ON (down), the source reads a user-defined EDID.

For normal operation, only one EDID DIP-switch should be set to ON

(down).

YPbPr/420 DIP-Switch

When ON (down):

4K50/60 YPbPr 4:4:4 signals are converted to 4:2:0.

4K50/60 RGB signals are converted to YPbPr 4:2:0.

Resolutions other than those above are bypassed.

PROG USB Port

Connect to a PC for programming use with the application software and

for firmware upgrade.

PROG Recessed Push

FC-17 - Connecting the FC-17

Connecting the FC-17

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

FC-17. After

connecting your

FC-17, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the FC-17 as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect an HDMI source (for example, a Blu-ray player) to the HDMI IN connector .

Alternatively, you can connect the DVI connector on the DVD player to the HDMI

connector on the FC-17 via a DVI-HDMI adapter.

2. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, a projector).

3. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and then connect the adapter

to the mains electricity.

4. If required, connect the PROG USB port to a PC for using the application software or

upgrading the firmware.

Description

EDID

DIP 1 (INT)

When set to ON (down), the source sees the built-in default

EDID.

DIP 2 (EXT)

When set to ON (down), the source sees the EDID of the sink

connected to the output.

DIP 3 (USER) When set to ON (down), the source sees the EDID programmed

by the user.

Sampling

DIP 4 (YPbPr, 4:2:0)

When set to ON (down):

4K50/60 YPbPr 4:4:4 signals are converted to 4:2:0, 4K50/60

RGB 4:4:4 signals are converted to YPbPr 4:2:0. Resolutions

other than those above are bypassed.

When set to OFF (up), the signal is always bypassed.

FC-17 - Managing EDID

Managing EDID

The EDID is managed via the EDID DIP-switches and the EDID management software.

Setting EDID via DIP-switches

The EDID DIP-switches determine the EDID that the source sees. For example:

•If DIP-switch 1 is set to ON (down) and the other EDID DIP-switches are set to off (up), the

source reads the internal, default EDID.

•If DIP-switch 2 is set to ON (down) and the other EDID DIP-switches are set to off (up), the

source reads the EDID from the currently connected acceptor.

•If DIP-switch 3 is set to ON (down) and the other EDID DIP-switches are set to off (up), the

source reads the user-defined EDID.

To set the user-defined EDID:

1. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to the output from which you want to read the

EDID.

2. Disconnect the power to the device .

3. Set all three EDID DIP-switches to ON (down) .

4. Connect the power.

The front panel LEDs blink briefly and the user-defined EDID is stored.

As long as the three EDID DIP

-switches remain set to ON (down), the FC-17 stores the

current EDID any time a new output is connected

and the power is disconnected and

reconnected

To change the EDID DIP-switch settings during normal operation:

1. Set one of the DIP-switches (INT, EXT or USER) to ON (down).

2. Set the other DIP-switches to OFF (up).

FC-17 - Managing EDID

Setting EDID via EDID Manager

To utilize EDID Manager:

1. Download the EDID Manager software to your PC.

2. Power the device.

3. Connect the PROG USB port to your PC.

4. Open EDID Manager. The following window appears:

Figure 4: EDID Manager

5. Click Search.

The FC-17 is connected and indicates the current EDID source (Internal, External or

User).
