FeaturesThank you for buying a Ross Video Carbonite SeriesMulti-Definition Live Production Switcher. TheCarbonite series builds on the Ross Video reputation fordesigning switchers that fit the needs of any productionenvironment.

MultiMedia Inputs (MultiMedia FrameOnly)

The fourMultiMedia inputs on the CarboniteMultiMediaframe can be used for de-interlacing SDI video signals,or inputting Analog Component, Analog Composite, ornon-HDCP HDMI video signals. These inputs alsosupport normal SDI.

Custom ControlsThis feature brings the power of macros to the switcheroperator. A series of button presses can be easily recordedand assigned to any custom control button. Step throughcomplex show openings as easily as pressing CustomControl buttons 1, 2, then 3.

Note: The C10 does not support recording or running customcontrols.

Device ControlThe switcher can control a number of external devices,such as video servers and robotic cameras. For a completelist of supported devices, and information on how to setup and control these devices, visit the Ross Video website(rossvideo.com/production-switchers/carbonite/interface-list).

DVEThe advanced 2D DVE comes standard with eachswitcher, and can be used for performing over theshoulder, or picture in picture shots. This allows presetpattern keys to be zoomed, cropped, and repositionedhorizontally and vertically to create the look you want,or you can use one of the useful pre-built 2D effects toperform 2D background transitions.The CarboniteMultiMedia and Carbonite+ frames comewith eight channels. The Carbonite and CarboniteeXtreme frames can select between 8 channels of DVEand no FSFC resources, or 4 channels of DVE and 6FSFC resources.

Effects DissolveThe Effects Dissolve feature allows you to interpolatefrom one memory to another using a memory recall. The

switcher will interpolate from the startingmemory to thedestination memory, creating a smooth, two key frameeffect.

Only elements such as clip level and pattern position canbe interpolated in the effects dissolve. Other elements,such as crosspoint selection, pattern, and next transitiondata are recalled first, and then the switcher will slew tothe recalled memory.An effects dissolve can be performed on as manyelements and MLEs as required, based on the memorythat is being recalled.

General Purpose InterfaceThe switcher is equipped with 34 GPI I/Os that can beassigned as either an input or output independently.The GPI inputs allow the switcher to interface withperipheral equipment such as editors. Each GPI inputcan be used to perform simple editing and switcherfunctions such as fade to black or an auto transition.

LiveEDLEdit Decision Lists (EDL) are files used by non-linearediting (NLE) suites to aid in post-production. Yourswitcher can capture EDL data in a file that you load intoyour NLE suite.For information on using the LiveEDL feature, visit theRoss Video Website (rossvideo.com).

Media-StoreUp to four (4) independent channels of still/animationsare available switcher-wide, allowing for thousands offull screen stills and logos that can be cached and usedon the switcher.Animation-Store comes standard with 8 Gigabytes ofcache. Channels 1 and 3 have 4 Gigabytes, and channels2 and 4 have 4 Gigabytes. The number of images cachedincreases considerably when smaller, non-full screenimages like logos are loaded from USB.

MediaWipesAMediaWipe™ allows you to use an animation from theMedia-Store to perform background and key transitions.When the transition starts, the switcher plays the selected

Carbonite Setup Manual (v7.3) — Features • 9

animation over top of the background and keys that arebeing transitioned. A cut is then performed behind theanimation to bring up the next shot when the animationends.A MediaWipe use Media-Store channels 2 and 4 for theanimation and alpha.

UltraChromeThe Ross UltraChrome™ uses advanced video processingtechnology to provide exceptional blue spill reductionand clean edges, even with difficult source material.Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural shadowsare handled superbly.Two floating Chroma Keys are available across bothMLEs.

Memory AI Recall ModeWe take the guessing out of memory recalls by ensuringthat a memory recall will not affect what is currentlyon-air. Memory AI uses the content of the memory toconfigure the Next Transition area and Preview bus forthe background and keyers so that the next transitiontakes the same sources on-air that were on-air in thememory.

Memory SystemStorage for 100 complete switcher snapshots per MLEcomes standard with all switchers. All of these memoriescan be stored to a USB media drive, providing customtailored memories for every operator and every show.

MLE Effect SystemThe MLE® (Multi-Level Effect) systems are standard.The number of MLEs depends on the chosen switchermodel.EachMLE provides four keyers supporting patternmask,box mask, self-key, linear key, and UltraChrome™advanced chroma key for each MLE and is available toeach keyer.

Media ManagerThe Media Manager allows you to easily manage stillsand animations on the switcher in a graphics interface.

MultiViewerAll CarboniteMulti-Definition Live Production Switcherscome standard with two broadcast-quality integratedMultiViewers. Each MultiViewer allows you to view upto 16 video sources, in 29 different layouts, from a singleoutput BNC. Any video source on the switcher, including

MLE 1 and MLE 2 Program, Preview, and Media-Storechannels, can be assigned to any box on theMultiViewer.All boxes on the MultiViewer include mnemonic sourcenames and red and green tallies.If the switcher is operating in a standard-definition videoformat, the MultiViewer can be set to outputhigh-definition. In HD output mode, the MultiViewer isonly available on specific output BNCs.

Pattern and Matte/Wash GeneratorsA single pattern generator dedicated to wipes comesstandard, and is equipped with 10 classic wipes. Mostwipes can be rotated, bordered, multiplied, aspectized,and repositioned.

Matte/Wash GeneratorAmatte generator and complexwash generator perMLE,capable of multi-color washes comes standard. Any oneof the color generators can be assigned to MATTE, orwipe pattern edges. An additional simple color generatoris available for an Aux Bus.
