![]() ![]() The popularity of Carbonite makes it easy to hire and retain operators.Today there are Carbonite clones available from other manufacturers which all do a fine job, but none come close when considering ease of use and advanced functionality such as MiniME and MultiScreen. Carbonite has a big creative feature set, ergonomic design that is fast and easy, and a system that can handle 1080P and 4K productions without requiring expensive upgrades. ![]() Since then the product line has been tremendously expanded by adding new frame variants and panels as well as regularly releasing software updates that have added powerful new features.As a stand-alone production switcher, Carbonite is the core element of a complete production ecosystem, and provides more production power than anything else at this size or price point. At NAB 2011 Ross introduced the first versions of Carbonite which became an instant success. Carbonite is a mid-size switcher that delivers high-end production power in a very affordable package. This quad link format also enables simultaneous UHD and 1080P outputs.Carbonite is not only Ross Video’s most successful switcher ever, it is the market leader in mid-size production switchers world-wide. As many as six UHD quad link sources can be input for UHD program output and, if the quad link format is pixel/line interleave, sources can easily be monitored via standard 1080 displays and Carbonites MultiViewers. While MiniMEs have no preview output, all of the basic switching functions and keying to provide perfectly produced UHD output can be easily and quickly delivered. All other resources remain the same, and MiniMEs, MultiScreen and 2.5ME modes all are accessible.Ĭarbonites MultiScreen mode locks all four MiniME controls together, enabling mixes, cuts and keys to be applied to UHD 3G quad link inputs. 3G signals contain twice the data of standard HD and, as a result, some resource reduction occurs. In 3G mode, the number of DVEs is reduced to four from eight, and the maximum number of MultiViewer windows is reduced to 10 from 16, for a total of 20 independent sources across two output heads. Current Carbonite owners simply have to download the free software. No new hardware is required to switch to 3G. No other switcher of this size and price point can offer 3G, let alone 4K at 50 and 60Hz. Thats truly remarkable processing powerat zero costand yet another innovative first from Ross. ![]() Once in 3G mode, Carbonites MiniMEs can be used for UHD (4K) production by turning on MultiScreen mode. To upgrade to 3G, users simply download the free software. These updates make Carbonite the perfect tool for users who want to adopt the very latest full HD progressive standard and make sure their production system investment is protected for years to come, said Nigel Spratling, Marketing Product Manager for Ross Video. Ross Video has announced free software upgrades that not only enable Carbonite to be switched to 3G (1080P 50 or 60 (59.94)), but also open the door to the very latest production format: UHDTV (4K). These updates make Carbonite the perfect tool for users who want to adopt the very latest full HD progressive standard ![]()
