FC-41 - Getting Started

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

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check

if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer FC-41 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.

FC-41 - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer FC-41 is a high performance converter for HD-SDI. It converts an

HD-SDI input signal to component (Y, PB, PR) and RGB/HV signals.

In addition, the FC-41 features:

Component and SDI outputs on BNC connectors, and an RGBHV output on

a 15-pin HD computer graphics video connector

An SDI input which is reclocked and equalized, and distributed to two

HD-SDI outputs

Output resolution which is the same as that of the input and is compatible

with 720p and 1080i up to 60Hz, as well as 1080p up to 30Hz

ProcAmp controls, with memory for saving and loading 16 setups

A component output with tri-level syncs

A highly accurate color bar generator with eight built-in test patterns

A lockable front panel to prevent unintentional tampering with the unit

The FC-41 converter can be controlled via its front panel with a user-friendly LCD,

and also has an RS-232 interface. It is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable

enclosure, and is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.
