10.2 Using PC Graphics in YC Production
Some scan converters, which convert VGA/XGA graphics to video, generate only a composite
video signal. The FC-10 converts composite video signal to s-Video (YC), thus enabling usage of
computer generated graphics in professional YC productions, as shown in Figure 9. Perform the
following steps (as necessary):
1. Connect a composite video source to the CV IN BNC connector of the FC-10
2. Connect an YC acceptor to the YC OUT 4P connector of the FC-10.
3. Operate source, acceptor and the FC-10.

Typical Composite/YC to Component/RGB Conversion
Figure 10 illustrates a typical set up of the Kramer format converters described in this manual:
incoming input signals from composite and YC (s-Video) sources are converted by a Multi-
standard Decoder (FC-4044, in this case) to component and RGB output signals, that are then
sent to two different acceptors. A Chroma Keyer/Mixer may be connected in parallel to the RGB
outputs in order to control the RGB display. A mixer is a device used to combine video signals
from two or more sources. Synchronized inputs are mixed with each other and various special
effects patterns and shapes are added in accordance with the proficiency of the video mixer being
used.
Perform the following steps (as necessary):
1. Connect CV/YC sources to the inputs (FC-4044 in this case).
2. Connect the outputs to two different RGB/component acceptors.
3. Operate sources, acceptors and your machine.
4. Use the front panel control functions if necessary (see section 9 for more details).
