5.6 Getting to Know Your FC-4044
The KRAMER FC-4044 Multistandard Decoder interfaces from Composite video and Y/C to the
most widely used professional video formats - Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) and RGBS. In
many video studios and production centers there is a need to convert from one format to the other
and the KRAMER FC-4044 is the perfect choice as it operates in the most common standards -
PAL, SECAM and NTSC (both). Decoding is microprocessor controlled via the internal I
2 C bus.
Front/Rear panel features of the FC-4044 are described in Figure 6 and Table 7.
NOTE
For operation instructions refer to section 9.
