3 Overview
The high quality Kramer FC-14 RGBHV to Component Transcoder is an
adjustment-free, multi-standard converter that converts RGB video to
component video (Y, B-Y, R-Y, sometimes called YUV or Y, Pb, Pr).
The FC-14 supports different sync variants on the RGB inputs:
Separate H & V (RGBHV)
Separate composite sync (RGBS)
Sync-on-green (RGsB)
Sync-on-all (RsGsBs)

In addition, the FC-14:
Recognizes any sync polarity and is compatible with both video level
(0.3V) and TTL level syncs
Transcodes any RGB video (progressive scan or interlaced) to component
format, making it ideal for standard definition video as well as for
high-definition video (VGA, SVGA and XGA)
Uses high quality analog circuitry – eliminating the artifacts associated
with digitizing and allowing the unit to operate with any video resolution!
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-14 in a
location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

5.1 Converting an RGB Source
You can convert an RGB signal to Y, B-Y, R-Y, via a FC-14 RGBHV to
Component Transcoder, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, as follows:
1. Connect the RGB video camera to the R, G and B BNC inputs.
2. Connect the Y, B-Y, and R-Y outputs to the BETACAM VCR.
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
4. Press the RGsB input format selector.
The camera’s RGB signal converts and outputs to the BETACAM VCR.
5. Switch on the power.
The Power switch illuminates.

5.2 Converting an RGBS Source
You can convert an RGBS signal to Y, B-Y, R-Y, via a FC-14 RGBHV to
Component Transcoder, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, as follows:
1. Connect the RGBS workstation to the R, G, B and H/S BNC inputs.
2. Connect the Y, B-Y, and R-Y outputs to the plasma monitor.
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
4. Press the RGBS input format selector.
The RGBS workstation’s signal converts and outputs to the plasma
monitor.
5. Switch on the power.
The Power switch illuminates.
