FC-4045
Multicoder® Universal Transcoder

 The Kramer MultiCoder® FC-4045 is a high quality, multi-standard converter designed to encode and / or decode a video signal and simultaneously output it in the most commonly used video formats. The unit accepts a composite, s-Video (YC), component video or SDI video input, and then encodes it to all those formats. The component input may be RGsB, RGBS or Y/R-Y/B-Y, and the user may select the format of the component output. The FC-4045 is a multi-standard device, automatically recognizing the incoming video standard, and the user selects the output standard. Standard conversion between PAL and SECAM without “bottle pulses” is possible, as is conversion between NTSC3.58 and NTSC4.43. The color subcarrier of the composite and YC outputs may be genlocked to an external video source, or generated by the units highly accurate oscillators. The machine offers user-friendly adjustment of the video parameters, and the front panel may be locked to prevent tampering with the adjustments and other settings. The unit may be controlled via RS-232, and its current settings are stored in non-volatile memory upon power down, and recalled when the machine is turned on again.
