EIA rack, and include rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. To mount them, simply place the unit's ears against the rack rails of your rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes. The FC-10 and the FC-10D can be rack mounted using a special adapter (see section 4.1). -

Some scan converters, which convert VGA/XGA graphics to video, generate only a composite video signal. The FC-10 converts composite video signal to s-Video (YC), thus enabling usage of computer generated graphics in professional YC productions, as shown in Figure 10. Perform the following steps (as necessary): 1. -
Page 19: Typical Composite/Yc To Component/Rgb Conversion
10.3 Typical Composite/YC to Component/RGB Conversion Figure 11 illustrates a typical set up of the Kramer format converters described in this manual: incoming input signals from composite and YC (s-Video) sources are converted by a Multistandard Decoder (FC-4044, in this case) to component and RGB output signals, that are then sent to two different acceptors. -
Page 20: Integrating A Composite/Rgb Source Into A Composite/Yc Switcher
Some but not all of the component video sources include a composite or a Y/C output. In order to perform the above-mentioned task, a video encoder is needed in order to convert either YUV or RGB signals to composite and Y/C signals, as shown in Figure 12. Kramer Electronics Ltd. -
Page 21: Audio Format Conversion
Connect one or more balanced audio sources to Channel 1 and Channel 2 XLR inputs of the FC-4208. Connect one or more unbalanced audio sources to Channel 1 and Channel 2 RCA inputs of the FC-4208. For unbalanced audio distribution, connect the outputs of the machine to an audio distributor (Kramer VM-50A for example.) For balanced audio distribution, connect the outputs of the machine to a balanced audio distributor (Kramer VM-1110 for example.) -
