Getting to Know Your FC-4042
The KRAMER FC-4042 RGB-Component Transcoder interfaces between the two 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-4042 is the perfect choice as
it operates simultaneously in both directions.
Front/Rear panel features of the FC-4042 are described in Figure
5
and Table
