Support for Common Video Standards
Carbonite Ultra offers native support for SD, HD and 3G 1080P formats.
HDR Compatible
Carbonite Ultra supports the range of HDR formats including HLG, PQ and S-LOG3 – plus support for bi-directional SDR to HDR-HLG conversion.
Signal Processing
Carbonite Ultra ships with 8 FSFC+ as standard, which can be assigned to any input or output. Each FSFC+ offers Frame Syncs for inputs – along with Color Correction, Proc Amps and Format Conversion for inputs and outputs. For productions in need of serious signal processing power, Carbonite Ultra can be configured with FSFC+ on every input and output. Carbonite Ultra makes it easy to put together a visually-consistent production.
Standalone Reference Generator
Lock Carbonite Ultra into the available house reference (Black Burst / Tri-Level) or use Carbonite Ultra’s built-in reference generator (Black Burst only) to sync your equipment. The ability to output reference directly from the Carbonite Ultra frame is great for small flight packs and mobile production vehicles.
Customize the look of your switcher with a programmable RGB LED bar because there’s no reason live productions can’t look cool behind the scenes. FrameGlow is great for differentiating multiple chasses, monitoring switcher status and for use as an impossible-to-miss alarm indicator.
