Wednesday, April 25, 2013 [Iroquois, Ontario, Canada] – Ross Video’s Carbonite eXtreme was the recipient of Broadcast Engineering’s 2013 Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit Award at NAB in Las Vegas.
Carbonite eXtreme is a combination of production switching with signal routing and distribution in the same chassis. The secret to Carbonite eXtreme is that the production switcher is embedded in the heart of the routing matrix.
“Routing, production switching, multi-viewers, up/down conversion, frame syncing and interconnecting distribution were traditionally all separate pieces,” said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video. “With Carbonite eXtreme, we have combined all these into a powerful combined package.”
Up to two Carbonite Production Matrices can be added to the Carbonite eXtreme Chassis providing two independent production systems in one. At the same time, Carbonite eXtreme fulfills the roll of a facility router with a full 144 x 144 switching matrix that can feed your entire production plant or mobile truck.
The prestigious Pick Hit Awards are selected by a panel of independent judges who tour the convention floor looking for innovative products and technology. The winners are based on criteria such as technical and financial improvements the product can bring to a facility’s operation. Broadcast Engineering editors and publishers have no vote in the selection process, ensuring the winners truly represent outstanding achievements in the eyes of a group of people who are representative of those making TV happen.

Sunday, April 7, 2013 [Las Vegas, NV, USA] – The Carbonite eXtreme breaks away from traditional production switcher architecture, combining production switching with signal routing and distribution in the same chassis – simplifying installation and operation at an affordable cost.
Production switchers have always been designed to deliver a single Program output from multiple input sources, while many production systems today are required to deliver outputs to multiple screens, on-set displays and signal distribution systems. This is particularly true for live production of worship and stage events, as well as larger facilities and multi-site complexes.
“We decided to take a fresh look at production switcher applications and formed customer focus groups to help us better understand the overall requirements of modern production systems,” said Nigel Spratling, Production Switcher Business Development Manager, Ross Video. “Carbonite eXtreme is the totally unique result of our research, and it’s the perfect solution. The massive reduction in rack-space and interconnections makes it ideal for production vehicles.”
The eXtreme chassis can be configured with an I/O of up to 144 x 144 in increments of 8, and internally houses the Carbonite production switcher. With eXtreme it’s now simple to manage complex productions across multiple output destinations.
“eXtreme is a truly revolutionary production tool, with the horsepower of Carbonite wrapped inside a highly configurable signal routing and management system,” continued Spratling. “It works with any Carbonite control panel and NK router panel, and when combined with our XPression graphics systems, BlackStorm playout servers and our DashBoard control systems, you have a complete ‘state of the art’ production system with full signal management. Nothing like this has ever been seen before, it’s a real game changer!”
Carbonite eXtreme is scheduled to ship in June 2013, and will be debuted at Ross Video’s Booth N3808 at NAB in Las Vegas.

Through this, we have learned that many would like to own a Carbonite, but it’s just beyond the reach of their budget. Accordingly, we have designed the Carbonite 10 to provide a cost effective switcher package with lots of horsepower – but at an even more affordable price point.”
Like the other switchers in the Carbonite range, the Carbonite 10 is available with 16 or 24 Multi-Definition SDI inputs and 9 internally generated sources. Carbonite 10 can be configured with the new Carbonite+ and MultiMedia processing engines and comes with our LiveAssist and MediaManager Graphical User Interfaces.

It’s the fourth panel to be added to the growing Carbonite family, and is compatible with all Carbonite production engines.

It’s an awesome panel that has direct single button access to all functions. TD’s working in fast paced Sport and News productions will love it. When you combine the C2X with our new ViewControl touch screen the whole production system falls neatly under your fingertips, it’s a truly powerful and elegant way to efficiently switch a show.”

Carbonite eXtreme is a combination of production switching with signal routing and distribution in the same chassis. The secret to Carbonite eXtreme is that the production switcher is embedded in the heart of the routing matrix.
