P/N:
This guide helps you install and use your FC-17 for the first time.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/FC-17 to download the latest user manual and check if firmware
upgrades are available.
Step 1: Check what’s in the box
FC-17 4K HDMI Converter Tool
TOOL Mounting bracket kit
Step 2: Get to know your FC-17
# Feature Function
1 SAMPLING INPUT LEDs Indicate the input chroma sub-sampling and color space
Indicate the output chroma sub-sampling and color space
Indicate the input HDCP standard
4 HDCP OUTPUT LEDs Indicate the output HDCP standard
5 ON LED Lights green when the unit is powered on; changes to red to indicate that a successful USB
LINK is established via the EDID Manager software
Connect to an HDMI source
Connect to the HDMI acceptor
8 EDID DIP-Switches DIP 1 (INT): When ON (down), the source sees the internal default EDID
DIP 2 (EXT): When ON (down), the sour ce reads the EDID of the acceptor that is connected
to the HDMI output
DIP 3 (USER): When ON (down), the source reads a user-defined EDID
: For normal operation, only one EDID DIP-switch should be set to ON (down)
9 YPbPr/420 DIP-Switch When ON:
4K50/60 YPbPr 4:4:4 signals are converted to 4:2:0
4K50/60 RGB signals are converted to YPbPr 4:2:0
Resolutions other than those above are bypas sed
Connect to a PC for programming use with the application software and for firmware upgrade.
11 Recessed Pushbutton Use for the upgrade process
12 5V DC +5V DC connector for powering the unit

Step 3: Install the FC-17
Install FC-17 using one of the following methods :
• Attach the rubber feet and place the unit on a flat surface.
• Fasten a bracket (included) on each side of the unit and attach it to a flat surface.
For more information go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/FC-17
.
• Mount the unit in a rack using an optional RK-3T rack adapter.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your FC-17. For best results, we recommend that you always
use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the FC-17.
Set the DIP-switches:
DIP-Switch # Description
When set to ON (down), the source sees the built-in default EDID
DIP 2 (EXT) When set to ON (down), the source sees the EDID of the sink connected to
DIP 3 (USER) When set to ON (down), the source sees the EDID programmed by the user
: For normal operation, set only one of the above three EDID DIP-switches to ON (down)
Sampling DIP 4
(YPbPr, 4:2:0)
When set to ON (down): 4K50/60 YPbPr 4:4:4 and 4K50/60 RGB signals
are converted to YPbPr 4:2:0; other resolutions are bypassed.
When set to OFF (up): The signal is always bypassed
Step 5: Connect the power
Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and then connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
Safety Instructions
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Use only the Kramer Electronics power supply that is provided with the unit.
Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
See www.KramerAV.com for updated safety information.
Step 6: Manage the EDID
The EDID is managed via the EDID DIP-switches and the EDID management software.
After downloading the EDID Manager software, connect the USB port
from the FC-17 to your PC and manage the EDID via the software:
Set the acceptor EDID as the User EDID via
the DIP-switches:
1. Disconnect the power.
2. Connect the acceptor to the FC-17’s output.
3. Set DIP 1, DIP 2 and DIP 3 to ON.
4. Connect the power.
All the LEDs flash briefly.
5. Disconnect the power, and set one of the INT,
EXT or USER DIP-switches to ON, as desired.
6. Connect the power.
