3

 inputs and outputs 

Simultaneously outputs to CV, YC and component (RGB or YUV) 

formats 

Can be used as a multi-format switcher, always converting to all the 

formats 

Includes non-volatile memory that retains the last setting, after switching 

the power off and then on again 

Is controllable via the front panel buttons, and/or remotely by RS-232 

serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial 

controller 

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-4046 in a location free from moisture and away 

from excessive sunlight and dust

1 When the fifth dipswitch, AUTO, is set to ON for the multi-standard 
2 Only supporting actions that are capable of performance. For example, you cannot convert the PAL standard to NTSC 
3 Note that this unit does not scale or scan convert the signal. For example, a PAL input  would produce 50Hz interlaced 
output on the RGB output
