3 Overview
The Kramer MultiTOOLS® FC-31 UXGA to DVI Converter is a high quality
converter for converting an analog computer graphics signal on an HD15
connector to a digital DVI-D signal. In particular, the FC-31:
Includes dipswitches that let you adjust the horizontal position, the
vertical position, and/or the sharpness of the image
Supports an input resolution of up to UXGA
Is 12VDC fed
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your FC-31 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
