5.3 Getting to Know Your FC-4041C
The KRAMER FC-4041C is a full broadcast, state-of-the-art Genlock RGB/Component to
Composite Video/YC Encoder designed for studio and other demanding applications. The FC-
4041C encodes RGBS or Component Y, R-Y and B-Y signals to Composite Video and Super-
Video signals. All inputs are looped through with termination switches, allowing for parallel
connection to other RGBS/Component acceptors. From front panel switches, the FC-4041C
allows the user to select whether Sync is separate or riding on Green. The user can also select
whether to convert RGBS or Component signals to Composite and Y/C. The outputs are DC
coupled and Black-Level clamped. Front/Rear panel features of the FC-4041C are described in
Figure 3 and Table 4.
