Your Standards Converter / TBC 

KRAMER ELECTRONICS, LTD.

 

GENLOCK

1

 input (for frame synchronization). 

In addition, the 

FC-4000

Converts between all common standards: PAL (B, D, G, H, I, M, N); NTSC 

(4.43, 3.58); and SECAM 

Includes 2 sets

2

 of video inputs: 2 composite and 2 Y/C (s-Video), as well as 

the corresponding audio inputs 

Includes 3 different video output formats 

-

 composite, Y/C (s-Video) and 

component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), as well as an audio output 

Is designed so that Y/C (s-Video) takes priority over the composite video 

when both composite and Y/C (s-Video) are connected as inputs

3

 

Has AGC

4

 functionality for processing low quality sub-standard signals 

Is digitally synthesized, generating a standard color bar when no video signal 

is available on the inputs 

Includes a digital comb filter for input system decoding 
May be used for frame synchronization

5

 (for example, enabling the mixing or 

processing of video signals) 

Includes full digital decoding and encoding with highly integrated digital 

processing 

To achieve the best performance: 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels 

(often associated with low quality cables) 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely 

influence signal quality 

Position your Kramer 

FC-4000 

in a location free from moisture and away 

from excessive sunlight and dust

1 The video input acts as a TBC and can GENLOCK to the sync of another video, therefore synchronizing the 2 asynchronous 
video sources 
2 Labeled INPUT A and INPUT B, respectively 
3 If Y/C (s-Video) is not connected, the composite video will take effect 
4 Automatic Gain Control 
5 As they use the same sync, color subcarrier frequencies and the same phase
