71 Ross Video Carbonite Production Switchers IBC 2011 see’s the European debut of the Ross Video Carbonite – big switcher production power in an affordable mid-size package. Launched at NAB 2011 - Carbonite uses the absolute latest technology to pack unprecedented production power into a super compact frame. The Ross Multi-Definition Production Engine that lies at the heart of Carbonite offers the same pristine processing used on other Ross switchers – precisely tuned for this new platform. The superb performance of Ross’ award winning Vision series is now available in this incredible mid-size package, at an unbeatable price. There are four Carbonite models offering one or two MLE’s and 16 or 24 Multi Definition inputs. All models of Carbonite feature unmatched performance and a breadth of capabilities that make these switchers unique in their class. Of primary concern when designing Carbonite was its ease of use. Starting with the use of large, back lit buttons and Panel Glow for increased operator accuracy, through to the placement of frequently used buttons, Carbonite provides intuitive panel ergonomics and production efficiencies. Additionally, Carbonite includes a browser based MultiUserGUITM that provides comprehensive graphics management for its internal Media-Stores quickly and efficiently from any platform. Stills, graphics and animations can be simply incorporated in a production via any PC, MAC or iPad – in fact from any device that supports a web browser – no app required. Carbonite’s one or two MLE ergonomically designed control panels offer the capabilities of a much larger switcher. Contributing to the power and ease of use of Carbonite are attributes such as true next transition style operation and the effortless ability to perform full previews on any keyer. Imaginative and dramatic productions facilitated by: • Dual 10 input MultiViewers • Four Media-Stores for animations and stills • MultiUser GUI™ for browser based media management • MediaWipes™ Animated Transitions • MemoryAI™ recall to preview Carbonite • Custom Control Macro’s • Four channels of 2D DVEs • 8 Full Keyers (4 per MLE) • 2 UltraChrome™ Chroma Keys • LiveEDLTM LiveEDL is yet another unique Carbonite feature that seamlessly creates an industry standard Edit Decision List during the performance of a live production – allowing the event to be instantly recreated on a non-linear editor for rapid post production. Carbonite is not only the most powerful mid-size production switcher series available today – it is also the most affordable. All of its features are included as standard and at price points substantially below comparable competitors.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpzEatLsHdE&feature=youtube_gdata_player http://www.facebook.com/pages/InBroadcast-e-zine/226166444076212 http://www.linkedin.com/home?trk=hb_tab_home_top http://www.twitter.com/inbroadcast http://www.inbroadcast.com http://www.ibc.org/page.cfm/Action=Exhib/ExhibID=983/loadSearch=170832_432 http://www.diskarchive.com
