2 401C, 401DN - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

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

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

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 401C, 401DN 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.

4 401C, 401DN - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer TOOLS 401C and 401DN are high performance format converters for

s-Video (Y/C) and composite video signals.

The 401C converts an s-Video input to two composite outputs as well as

simultaneously to two s-Video (Y/C) outputs, with no signal degradation.

The 401DN converts a composite video input to one s-Video (Y/C) output with full

compensation for Y/C delay.

3.1 Defining the 401C, 401DN

The 401C Y/C to Composite Converter/DA is defined in Figure 1.
