Kramer 30-011890 FC-18 4K HDMI Controller

Save time and energy while simplifying AV control with the Kramer Electronics FC-18 4K HDMI Controller. Built as a purpose-driven display ON/OFF controller, the FC-18 detects the presence or loss of an HDMI input and automatically powers displays or projectors accordingly — no more hunting for remotes during meetings or critical monitoring shifts. The unit accepts and outputs HDMI after reclocking and equalizing, supporting 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 HDR signals and HDCP 1.4/2.2 to ensure compatibility with modern sources and displays. For integrators, Ethernet and RS‑232 tunneling makes centralized control and integration into AV, security, and surveillance systems straightforward, while front-panel and contact-closure controls provide reliable local operation. Compact (4.72" x 2.81" x 0.96") and low-power (5 V DC, 580 mA), the FC-18 fits neatly into equipment racks and control cabinets. Ideal for boardrooms, video conferencing setups, command centers, and monitoring rooms, this controller reduces setup time and operating costs without compromising signal integrity. Contact your Kramer supplier to specify the FC-18 for your AV, security, or surveillance installation.
