Optional Accessories The following accessories, which are available from Kramer, can enhance i mplementation of your
switcher. For information regarding them and about cables and additional accessories, contact your
Kramer dealer.
FC-10D - (Composite-YC Comb Filter/Transcoder) can be serially connected t o the switcher for
video format conversion (bi-directionally 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-10D provides an independent Y/C to
Composite route, for simultaneous bi-directional operation. The Kramer FC-10D is 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 a state-of-the-art Encoder, designed for studio and
other demanding applications. The FC-4041C encodes 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-4041C allows 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 t o their RGB
components.
VM-1411 (Video/Balanced Stereo Aud io 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 sour ce 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 con trol for
“before-after” comparison. The input 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, and distinguish between good and jittery (VCR sourced) signals. Whenever
a video signal is missing, because of bad connections, cable breaks or faulty sources, the Video Tester
is all you need.
