4 • Carbonite Family of Switchers — Carbonite Configuration Guide (v7.3)
What's New!
We are all very proud of the many new features that have been packed into this release of the Carbonite software. Here is
a list of some of the feature we are sure you will be interested in!
Carbonite 2S
Support for the Carbonite 2S control panel has been added to this software release. The C2S control panel has all the same
features as the C2M, with the addition of an Effects Memory area for each MLE.
Carbonite Configuration Guide (v7.3) — What's New! • 5
Product Overview
Multi-Definition
Future-proof right out of the box, Carbonite allows you to work in either SD or HD, supporting 480i (SD 525), 576i
(SD 625), 720p, 1080i, 1080pSF 23.98, 1080pSF 29.97, and 1080pSF 25.
Serial Digital Inputs
The Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Engine comes with either 16 or 24 Serial Digital Inputs.
MultiMedia Inputs
The Carbonite MultiMedia Multi-Definition Live Production Engine comes with either 2 or 4 HDMI or
Component/Composite Analog Inputs. Only one HDMI, Analog, or SDI input for a single MultiMedia input can be
used at a time. Carbonite MultiMedia will not pass HDCP encoded content.
Serial Digital Outputs
The Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Engine comes standard with 10 Serial Digital outputs, consisting of
Program and 9 assignable outputs.
Analog Reference Input and Output
Carbonite provides you with maximum flexibility and cost effectiveness when choosing the reference signal for your
facility by supporting both external and internal reference sources. The external reference can be an input from a house
sync to the single reference input BNC. The internal reference can also be used as a house sync with selectable tri-level
sync or analog black burst with independent H/V settings for each of the two reference output BNCs.
Although tri-level sync is recommended as your reference source for all HD applications, analog black burst can be
used when operating the switcher.
See Video Characteristics on page 22 in the Specifications section, at the end of the Configuration Guide, for detailed
reference information.
Integrated Up/Down Converters
All Carbonite Live Production Switchers come with integrated up/down converters and frame synchronizers capable of
converting 1080i or 720p to SD, as well as convert SD signals to 1080i, or CrossConvert 720p to 1080i.
Format conversion is not supported on the Carbonite frame when the switcher is operating in 720p or 1080pSF. The
Carbonite MultiMedia frame supports de-interlacing on the MultiMedia inputs, except for progressive segmented frame
(pSF) formats. The MultiMedia inputs do support de-interlacing of the 720p format.
Proc Amps and Color Correctors
Color correction in the switcher is performed by either Processing Amplifiers (Proc Amps) in the HSL (Y-Cr-Cb) color
space or by RGB Color Correctors in the RGB color space. Both Proc Amps and RGB Color Correctors allow you to
apply color correction to video sources, before the crosspoint. Corrected video is then available to all buses.
Color correction is additive, allowing you to apply any combination of Proc Amp and RGB Color Corrector based
adjustment to a video signal.
6 • Product Overview — Carbonite Configuration Guide (v7.3)
Incredibly Powerful Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Engine
The Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Engines use the absolute latest technology to pack unprecedented
production power into a super compact frame.
• 16 or 24 SDI Video Inputs (2 or 4 HDMI or Analog on Carbonite MultiMedia frame)
• 9 Assignable Outputs
• 1 PGM
• 4 Keyers Per MLE
• 4 Channels Media-Store™ with 8 Gig of RAM CACHE
• 8 Channels 2D DVE (The Carbonite frame supports either 4 or 8 channels of DVE, depending on the number of
FSFCs required.)
• Proc Amps and Color Correctors for every input (Carbonite+ and MultiMedia only)
• 34 GPI I/Os
• 34 Tallies
• 2 Adjustable Independent Reference Outputs
• 1 LTC BNC input
• 1 Reference input
Powerful MLE Effect Systems
Carbonite packs major effects and keying power into up to two MLEs®. Each MLE has four powerful keyers with luma
and linear keys as well as an additional fifth hidden keyer for animated Media Wipe and DVE transitions. Each MLE
can access the two advanced UltraChrome™ chroma keyers. Two advanced pattern generators per MLE are available
for wipes, masking, and color washes. Each MLE also provides a clean feed output.
FlexiClean Clean Feed Output
FlexiClean is typically used for bilingual and live-to-tape productions. It provides a second Program output that is derived
from a different location than the standard program output. A frequent application is the recording of shows for later
airing without call-in phone numbers inserted.
The clean feed output can come from before or between the keyers. The Figure 1: Clean Feed Modes on page 7
illustrates the possible clean feed configurations.
Figure 1: Clean Feed Modes
2D DVE
Great for sophisticated looking boxes, it allows preset pattern keys to have effects applied to them such as zoom, crop,
post mask, single color border, DVE freeze, and repositioned in 2D space for picture in picture or over the shoulder
shots. You can use one of the useful pre-built 2D effects to perform 2D background transitions.
The Carbonite MultiMedia and Carbonite+ frames provide eight (8) channels of 2D DVE and the Carbonite frame
provides four (4) or (8), depending on the number of FSFCs required. All six (6) FSFCs are disabled when eight (8)
channels of DVE are required.
Carbonite Configuration Guide (v7.3) — Product Overview • 7
UltraChrome™ Advanced Chroma Keying
Our UltraChrome chroma keyer uses Ross technology to perform detailed keying in the most demanding applications.
The UltraChrome chroma keyer is provided as a standard feature.
Two channels of UltraChrome chroma key are shared within the switcher.
Floating Upstream/Downstream Keyers
Keyers have access to all video sources and can be used as either Upstream Keys via selection in the Transition Area,
or as Downstream Keys via independent Keyer Cut and Auto transition buttons. This adds tremendous operational
flexibility over traditional fixed DSKs.
Powerful Pattern Generator
A single pattern generator per MLE dedicated to wipes comes standard, and is equipped with 10 classic wipes. Most
wipes can be rotated, bordered, multiplied, aspectized, and repositioned.
Matte/Wash Generator
A matte generator and complex wash generator per MLE, capable of multi-color washes comes standard. Any one of
the color generators can be assigned to MATTE, or wipe pattern edges. An additional simple color generator is available
for an Aux Bus.
4 Channel Media-Store™
Four channels of Media-Store are available for Video+Video, or Video+Key (channel 1 uses channel 3 for the alpha,
and channel 2 uses channel 4 for the alpha). Each pair has 4GB (8GB total) of RAM CACHE for stills, animations,
audio, and logos that can be loaded.
Media-Store comes standard with 8 Gigabytes of cache. The number of images cached increases considerably when
smaller, non-full screen images like logos are loaded from USB.
MediaWipes™
A MediaWipe™ allows you to use an animation, with audio, from the Media-Store to perform background and key
transitions. When the transition starts, the switcher plays the selected animation over top of the background and keys
that are being transitioned. A cut is then performed behind the animation, at the cut point, to bring up the next shot.
The audio can come from either channel, so you can have channel 1 a for MLE 1 and at the same time use channel 2
for MLE 2. You can also load some wipes in channel 1 and others in channel 2 so that you can maximize all 8 GB of
the total Ram Cache for MediaWipes.
100 Event Switcher Memory per MLE
Storage for 100 complete switcher snapshots per MLE comes standard with all switchers. All of these memories can be
stored to a USB media drive, providing custom tailored memories for every operator and every show.
Memory Effects Dissolve
The Effects Dissolve feature allows you to interpolate from one memory to another using a memory recall. The switcher
will interpolate from the starting memory to the destination memory, creating a smooth, two keyframe effect.
Memory AI Recall Mode
We take the guessing out of memory recalls by ensuring that a memory recall will not affect what is currently on-air.
Memory AI uses the content of the memory to configure the Next Transition area and Preview bus for the background
and keyers so that the next transition takes the same sources on-air that were on-air in the memory.
Dual MultiViewers™
All Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Switchers come standard with two broadcast-quality integrated
MultiViewers. Each MultiViewer allows you to view up to 16 video sources, in 29 different layouts, and an integrated
time-clock showing system time or time code from a single output BNC. Any video source on the switcher, including
MLE 1 and MLE 2 Program, Preview, Media-Store channels, and Aux Buses can be assigned to any box on the
MultiViewer. All boxes on the MultiViewer include mnemonic source names, assigned FCFS resources, and red and
green tallies.
If the switcher is operating in a standard-definition video format, the MultiViewer can be set to output high-definition.
In HD output mode, the MultiViewer is only available on specific output BNCs, and only two layouts are available.
General Purpose Interface
Carbonite is equipped with 34 GPI I/Os that can be assigned as either an input or output independently.
The GPI inputs allow the switcher to interface with peripheral equipment such as editors. Each GPI input can be used
to perform simple editing and switcher functions such as fade to black or an auto transition.
Tally Outputs
The Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Switcher has 34 assignable tally relays located in the rack frame.
USB Media Drive
This feature makes it possible to store and recall switcher memories, custom controls, media stills, and animations to a
USB media drive. This allows operators and technical staff to back up their memories and easily transfer these settings
to other switchers.
Clear and Intuitive Displays and Buttons
We always let you know what's going on. A unique glow color can be set for each control panel. This color is applied
to all the buttons on the control panel.
Red-lit on-air sources allow you to easily identify the sources, and Keys that are on-air.
Robotic Camera System Interface
Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, shot recall and more, are directly controllable from your control panel with these FlexDevice
drivers.
The following cameras or protocols are supported:
• Sony® VISCA Protocol
• Canon® BU Series
Audio Mixer Control Interface
The switcher interface allows you to control the channel levels on an audio mixer connected to the switcher. These can
be either preset levels set at installation, or manually overridden. An SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI converter is required to
control an audio mixer.
The following mixers are supported:
• Yamaha® 01V96
• Yamaha® DM1000
Video Server Control Interface
The switcher interface allows you to cue and play clips on a video server.
The following video servers or protocols are supported:
• Ross Video BlackStorm
• Ross Video SMS Video Server
• Generic AMP Protocol Device
RossTalk with XPression
The switcher interface allows you to record XPression commands to a custom control. These commands are sent to
XPression using the RossTalk interface. Supported commands include sequencer commands such as take and next,
channel commands such as clear or resume, and scene commands such as TakeID and Take Action.
Roll Clip Control
Need to co-ordinate the rolling of a video server clip with a transition? Simply select the source button assigned to the
video server with Roll Clip enabled. When the next transition is performed, the switcher sends the play command to the
video server so that the clip is playing when the source is taken on-air. Native video server control over the Advanced
Media Protocol (AMP), or RossTalk™ is used. Additionally, for Servers and Clip players that do not support AMP or
RossTalk, GPI Outputs can also be used. Roll Clip allows each device to have its own pre-roll delay assigned so that
the transition takes place on the start of each element.
Custom Control Macros
This feature brings the power of macros to the switcher operator. A series of button presses can be easily recorded and
assigned to any custom control button. Step through complex show openings as easily as pressing Custom Control
buttons 1, 2, then 3. Confusing timeline programming is a thing of the past.
Custom Controls can also be used to control remote devices or other optional switcher features such as:
• Trigger a GPI to advance to the next page of your still store
• Play, stop, or shuttle multiple video servers using GPI outputs
• Recall a robotic camera shot along with a switcher memory
• Any number of pauses, holds, and events can be added to any macro
•
And many additional sophisticated features
Custom Control macros can be viewed and edited directly on the switcher menu.
Upgrades from the Web
Software and even some firmware can be upgraded from files that are downloaded from our web site. Download the
files, save them on a USB drive, and upgrade the switcher with the new files. It's fast, easy, and it's FREE!
DashBoard LiveAssist™
Using your Carbonite switcher has never been easier. LiveAssist™ brings control over switcher functions, like setting
up Keyers, MediaWipe™ transitions and much more, right to your finger tips in the intuitive DashBoard interface.
DashBoard Carbonite Configuration
Setting up your Carbonite switcher is a now easier than ever. Carbonite Configuration allows you to set up Reference,
Source Mnemonic colors and names, Video Outputs assignments, and MultiViewer settings.
Note: Carbonite Configuration in DashBoard requires a screen resolution of 1920×1080.
ViewControl™ (BETA)
ViewControl™ brings control of a Carbonite production switcher, XPression™ Live Graphics System and BlackStorm™
playout server onto a single and intuitive touchscreen surface in DashBoard™. Select sources, perform transitions, and
run custom controls all from a single screen. With the integrated MultiViewer™ you never have to remember source
names again. Just tap the live feed of the source you want to take - it is that easy!
MediaManager™
The MediaManager™ provides a graphical, web-based interface to the Media-Store on the switcher. This interface allows
you to control all aspects of Media-Store items, including creating sequence playlists that can be saved and loaded by
multiple users.
Affordable
A powerful switcher at a great price!

System Options
Options are typically ordered when the switcher is purchased. However, you can order options if your needs change in the
future. Most of our options can be easily installed in the field. You can take comfort in knowing that you can purchase
options in the future and that installation at your site will be a smooth process.
XPression™ Live CG
XDS0-0001-CPS
Note: The XDS0-0001-CPS option must be purchased at the same time as your
switcher. Only one XDS0-0001-CPS option can be purchased per switcher. If you
require additional licences, use the XDS0-0001 option.
Seamlessly combine the creative power of the Ross Video XPression™ Designer software
with the ease of use of your Ross Switcher. Create stunning still graphics using XPression
Designer, and transfer them directly to an Animation-Store channel on the switcher using
the RossLinq interface. Up to two (2) channels with dedicated alpha can be controlled from
the XPression Software Client. This feature supports still images only.
The XPression Designer requires a computer with a Microsoft® Windows XP® or Windows
7® (32/64 But) operating system and an NVIDIA® graphics card.
Redundant Power
Cxx-REDPSU-EXT
The redundant power supply options provides protection against AC power failure. It
Cxx-PANEL-REDPSU-EXT allows two external power supplies to receive power from independent power sources.
CF-FRAME-REDPSU-EXT Complete failure of one source, or power supply, will not affect the operation of the switcher
in the slightest. If the main AC power fails, the switcher instantly draws power from the
remaining source. The transition from one power source to the other is totally transparent
and has no effect on the output of the switcher; a critical feature should one power source
fail during an on-air broadcast.
A redundant power supply can be ordered for the control
panel(Cxx-PANEL-REDPSU-EXT), the frame(CF-FRAME-REDPSU-EXT), or
both(Cxx-REDPSU-EXT).
When selecting the option you want, replace the xx with the size of your control panel. For
example, C2X-PANEL -REDPSU-EXT is the option code to add redundant power for
the Carbonite 2X control panel.
Use the option code CF-REDPSU-EXT for all Carbonite frames.
In-Desk Secure Mounting Kit
CPS-INDESK
This option provides in-desk or rack mounting options for the Carbonite 10 control panel.
A mounting bracket is attached to the bottom of the control panel and provides a flange
on either side of the control panel that can be screwed down into the desk.

This option increases the number of SDI video inputs on the Carbonite frame from 16 to
24 and the number of MultiMedia inputs on the Carbonite MultiMedia from 2 to 4. All
inputs can be used direct to air, as key alpha channels, or as chroma key sources.
Inputs can be freely assigned to any panel source button or shifted button. They can also
be hidden and accessed only as alpha channels or they can be locked out if they are not
used.
Note: All Carbonite frames comes with a full 24 SDI video input BNCs. This
upgrade option unlocks the additional BNCs in software.
1 MLE to 2 MLE Upgrade

output format. User-selectable audio decoding is available with unbalanced, stereo analog
audio outputs. Up to 16 channels of embedded audio are selectable, in stereo pairs, for
de-embedding and decoding.
Onsite Operational Training
CARBONITE-OTR-1DAY
Although Ross Video switchers are designed to be as easy as possible to install and operate,
training is highly recommended to ensure that the process of taking your Ross Video
switcher to air is a smooth one.
Training is provided on the customer's equipment at their site. Expenses are extra, and
billed at the completion of the visit. Ross Video cannot guarantee the availability of a local
Trainer, as such, travel costs to all locations will be invoiced at cost. Two (2) days, or more,
of training is recommended for multiple MLE systems. Four (4) weeks advanced scheduling
notice is required. Additional days of training can be added with the
CARBONITE-OTR-1DAY option. Please quote one additional option for each additional
day of training required.
Customers cancellation or rescheduling of on-site services without seven (7) calendar days
advanced notice will incur full invoice.
Online Operational Training
CARBONITE-OPS-1DAY
Sometimes you don't need the hands-on attention that having a trainer come to your facility
provides. In these situations Ross Video provides comprehensive, web-based, online
training.
Two (2) days, or more, of training is recommended for multiple MLE systems. Four (4)
weeks advanced scheduling notice is required. Additional days of training can be added
with the CARBONITE-OPS-1DAY option. Please quote one additional option for each
additional day of training required.

Onsite Technical Training
CARBONITE-OTT-1DAY
On-site technical training introduces the user to some of the technical aspects of switcher
operation and maintenance. This includes, but is not limited to; Basic operation, Switcher
installation and configurations, Peripheral interfaces, Video signal flow, System timing
requirements, Circuit block diagrams, Circuit board overviews, Jumpers and indicators,
Troubleshooting tips, Software upgrading, and Routine maintenance.
CARBONITE-OTT-1DAY option. Please quote one additional option for each additional
Onsite Commissioning
CARBONITE-COM-1DAY
On-site Commissioning is a great way to ensure that your switcher is properly installed
into your facility and tuned to maximum performance.
Once the customer has installed and cabled the equipment, a Ross Commissioning expert
will come on site to get the switcher configured, verify that all peripheral interfaces are
operating properly, provide a basic technical orientation, and help you get on the air.
CARBONITE-COM-1DAY option. Please quote one additional option for each additional
Please note that commissioning does not replace operator or technical training. Contact
your Ross representative to discuss which types of assistance are best suited to your needs.
Extended Warranty
This extends the standard one-year warranty on your system by one year. Additional years
can be purchased if required.
