KRAMER:  SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

Your SDI De-Embedder 

 

In addition, the 

FC-6801

De-embeds four audio channels 
Provides de-embedded audio in both analog (balanced on XLR 

connectors) and digital (AES/EBU on BNC connectors) audio formats 

Includes automatic selection for 20/24 bit digital audio stream 
Includes a selectable audio delay of up to one second that lets you adjust 

for lip sync errors so that the audio delay will match the video delay

1

 

Includes auto-detect 525/625 line format and EDH insertion and generation 
Has an embedded SDI input with active, reclocked and equalized output 

(loop) 

Can be cascaded to de-embed up to 16 channels 
Fits in one vertical space of a standard 19” professional rack enclosure 

3.1  Controlling your FC-6801 

The 

FC-6801

 can be controlled via a user-friendly RS-232 Windows®-based 

Kramer control software

2

, which lets you recall group setup and the audio 

delay setting. Hardware control is via the rear panel AUDIO DELAY 

dipswitches, as well as via the front panel: 

GROUP SELECT button, that lets you select the audio group that you 

want to de-embed (the active audio channel LEDs light) 

Potentiometers that let you control the gain level of the analog output pairs 
Set of status LEDs, that indicate the bit resolution (20 or 24), the video 

input standard (PAL or NTSC), Video LOCK and Audio (DEMUX) LOCK 

3.2  Achieving the Best Performance 

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 and position your Kramer 

FC-6801

 away 

from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
