4.1Optional Accessories
The following accessories, which are available from Kramer, can enhance implementation of your switcher. For information regarding cables and additional accessories, contact your Kramer dealer.
BNC "Y" Connector - Used for looping purposes and splits the incoming signal to connect an additional machine.
FC-10D - (Composite-YC Comb Filter/Transcoder) can be serially connected to the switcher for video format conversion between two popular video formats - composite video and YC (Super- Video). The decoding from composite to Y/C is done digitally using an adaptive comb filter and DSP techniques to minimize dot-crawl and cross-color. A built-in vertical enhancer circuit reduces noise and dot-crawl on the Y signal. In addition, the FC-10Dprovides an independent Y/C to Composite route, for simultaneous bi-directional operation. The Kramer FC-10Dis very small, and is fed from an external 12VDC supply, thus ideal for fieldwork.
FC-4041C - (Genlock RGB/Component to Composite Video/YC Encoder) can be serially connected to the switcher for video format conversion. It is full broadcast, state-of-the-art, designed for studio and other demanding applications. The FC-4041Cencodes RGBS or Y, R-Y and B-Y signals to composite video and Super-Video signals. All inputs are looped through with termination switches, allowing parallel connection to other RGBS / Component acceptors. The FC-4041Callows the user, via front panel switches, to select whether the Sync is separate or riding on Green. The user can also select whether to convert RGBS or Component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) signals to Composite and Y/C. The outputs are DC coupled and Black-Level clamped.
VM-19N - (RGB Decoder) can be serially connected to the switcher for video format conversion. It is an industrial level decoder, which converts both composite video and super-Video to their RGB components.
VM-1411(Video/Balanced Stereo Audio Distribution Amplifier) can be serially connected between the switcher and the acceptors for video and audio distribution. It is a full broadcast, state-of-the-art machine, designed for studio and other applications. The VM-1411 has two inputs, video and audio, each splitting to 5 outputs. The user may select 2 x 1:5 or 1:10 operation via front panel control switches. Several VM-1411 units may be chained through the looping inputs. Output signals are (user selectable) DC or AC coupled for highest flexibility. Audio outputs are buffered and isolated from each other, allowing Hi-Fi Balanced audio distribution.
SP-11- (Video/Audio Processor) can be serially connected between the video/audio source and the switcher for video and audio control/correction. The machine provides camera control and luminance/white balance correction. The SP-11 is also capable of performing composite to Y/C conversion and bi-directional transcoding. The machine allows full control over the video signal: video gain down to full fade, log or linear definition control, log or linear contrast control, color saturation control, black level control, red, green and blue controls and a screen splitter control for “before-after” comparison. The input switch control is "audio-follow-video".
VIDEO TESTER - A new, unique, patented, indispensable tool for the video professional, the Video Tester is used to test a video path leading to/from an amplifier. By pressing only one touch switch it can trace missing signals, distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced) signals, and identify the presence of good signals. Whenever a video signal is missing, because of bad connections, cable breaks or faulty sources, the Video Tester is all you need.
