Features

Powerful MLEs
Carbonite packs major effects and keying power into 2 MLEs. Each MLE has 4 powerful keyers with luma, linear, Chroma and DVE key types as well as an additional 5th hidden keyer for animated MediaWipe™ and DVE transitions. Each MLE can access the 2 advanced UltraChrome™ chroma keyers. Two advanced pattern generators per MLE are available for wipes, pattern masks and color washes. Each MLE also provides a clean feed output.

LiveAssist™ & MediaManager™
The powerful DashBoard LiveAssist™ control interface with MediaManager™ provides intuitive control over switcher settings, MediaStore™ graphics and animations. With simple Ethernet access from PC and MAC, LiveAssist™ with MediaManager™ are the perfect Carbonite companions.

UltraChrome™ Advanced Chroma Keying in Every MLE
Our UltraChrome™ chroma keyer uses new Ross technology to perform detailed keying in the most demanding conditions.

Device Control
Direct control of external devices is simple with Carbonite. Control Servers, Robotic Cameras, Audio Mixers and, of course, our award winning XPression 2D / 3D graphics system.

Four Channel MediaStore™ with Audio
Four independent media player channels are available switcher-wide. Stills, logos, animated graphics and audio can be played out from the on-board 8Gb memory and can be loaded via USB drives. The MediaStore™ can also be managed directly over Ethernet via Carbonite's MediaManager™.

Four Channels of DVE
Four high-quality 2D DVE channels are available system-wide. These DVEs 'float' within the system architecture allowing all 4 to be assigned to a single MLE or distributed across both MLEs as the production demands. These DVEs are also available for MLE DVE transitions and have dedicated selection in the MLE transition area.

MediaWipes™ with Audio Playback
MediaWipes™ add powerful animated transition capabilities with audio playback from the Carbonite MediaStore™. Create compelling, animated graphic transitions and control them simply from a dedicated MLE transition area selector.

Dual MultiViewers
Two configurable MultiViewers (up to 32 windows) are included in Carbonite's standard feature set. These clean, low latency MultiViewers have access to all external and internal sources. Source naming and tally assignment automatically follow window routing selections.

Multi-Format Production
Carbonite's video processing engine can be set for Standard or High Definition production. In addition, this powerful system includes 6 internal frame synchronizers and format converters which allow mixed SD and HD formats to be seamlessly incorporated into your production.

Effects Memory with MemoryAI™
Carbonite's powerful and truly unique intelligent resource management system allows stored keys and backgrounds to be recalled to preview without disturbing what is currently on-air. This system enables multiple 'scenes' to be stored and recalled in a manner that would normally require a much larger multi-MLE switcher.

Custom Control Macros
Powerful, editable macros that can do almost anything. Record events, recalls, pauses, holds and control devices. Executable from a single button press.

LiveEDL™
Another unique Ross feature. During your live production, Carbonite can generate an industry standard Edit Decision List (EDL). Production decisions can then be seamlessly transferred to a Non-Linear Editor to recreate the event timeline. With Carbonite, getting an as-run edit into post is as simple as a few mouse clicks.
