We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
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
Position your Kramer FC-32 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

FC-32 - Overview
3 Overview
The FC-32 is a high-performance format converter for digital DVI-D signals. It
converts a DVI-D input to a computer graphics or component video output on a
15-pin HD connection.
The FC-32 features:
One DVI input on a 24-pin Molex connector
One PC (RGBHV) /component (YPbPr with bi-level syncs) output on a
15-pin HD connector
A Y/PB/PR–RGB selector switch (YPbPr signal is with a bi-level sync)
5V DC power

4 Connecting the FC-32
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
FC-32. After connecting your FC-32, connect its power and then switch
on the power to each device.
To connect the FC-32 as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:
1. Connect the digital input source (such as, a computer graphics source) to
the 24-pin Molex INPUT connector.
2. Connect an output acceptor (such as, a computer graphics VGA display or
component display) to the PC/COMPONENT OUT 15-pin HD connector.
3. Set the front panel switch (see Figure 1) to Y/PB/PRfor a component
acceptor or to RGB for a computer graphics acceptor.
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
