Overview

The FC-113 HDMI to SD/HD-SDI Converter is a high-performance format converter for SDI (SMPTE 259M), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), and 3G HD-SDI (SMPTE 424M) signals. It converts an HDMI input to two identical SDI video with embedded audio output signals. The FC-113 does not perform frame rate or resolution conversion1 .
1 It has to receive an HD or SD signal to convert it to SD/HD-SDI signals
The FC-113 features:

• One HDMI input
• Two SD/HD-SDI/3G HD-SDI outputs on BNC connectors
• HDTV compatibility
• Active LED indicators on the front panel. Green indicates a standard (SDI) definition and blue indicates a (HD-SDI) high-definition input signal
• 5V DC power
• Medical equipment compliance

3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)1
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer FC-113 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution:   No operator serviceable parts inside unit
Warning: Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall before installing or removing the device or servicing unit
