New Control Options for Ross Video Carbonite

Friday, August 31, 2012  [Iroquois, Ontario, Canada] – Ross Video’s Carbonite mid-size production switchers are expanding their options with the addition ViewControl and DashBoard’s LiveAssist.

ViewControl provides a powerful way for any level of experience operator to create a professional production with the touch of a finger.

“ViewControl combines a live MultiViewer with a custom DashBoard overlay, providing a low latency, real-time visual control surface,” says Les O’Reilly, Switcher Marketing Product Manager, Ross Video. “By combining DashBoard with Carbonite’s MultiViewer and advanced custom controls, users can build incredibly complex productions that are very intuitive to operate.  You really have to play with ViewControl to truly appreciate how powerful it is.  ViewControl is much more than just touching sources and bringing them to air, this is a sophisticated and highly integrated system that can easily perform seriously complex productions. It is unprecedented in our industry.”

DashBoard LiveAssist offers Carbonite users additional soft control and set up interfaces via the Ross Video DashBoard Control System. It provides a simple, yet efficient, user interface for key settings, MediaWipe management and more. LiveAssist is currently shipping and is a free downloadable upgrade for existing Carbonite users.
