The Carbonite+ and Carbonite MultiMedia frames have eight channels of DVE, or 4 channels in a 3G MiniME

ME switcher mode. The Carbonite and Carbonite eXtreme frames can select between 8 channels of DVE and no FSFC

resources, or 4 channels of DVE and 6 FSFC resources.

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 key frame effect.

Only elements such as clip level and pattern position can be interpolated in the effects dissolve. Other elements, such as

crosspoint selection, pattern, and next transition data are recalled first, and then the switcher will slew to the recalled

memory.

An effects dissolve can be performed on as many elements and MEs as required, based on the memory that is being recalled.

The switcher 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.

Edit Decision Lists (EDL) are files used by non-linear editing (NLE) suites to aid in post-production. Your switcher can

capture EDL data in a file that you load into your NLE suite.

For information on using the LiveEDL feature, visit the Ross Video Website (rossvideo.com).

Up to four (4) independent channels of still/animations are available switcher-wide, allowing for thousands of full screen

stills and logos that can be cached and used on the switcher.

Animation-Store comes standard with 8 Gigabytes of cache. Channels 1 and 3 have 4 Gigabytes, and channels 2 and 4 have

4 Gigabytes. The number of images cached increases considerably when smaller, non-full screen images like logos are

loaded from USB.

A MediaWipe allows you to use an animation 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 to bring up the next shot when the animation ends.

The UltraChrome chroma keyers uses advanced video processing technology to provide exceptional blue spill reduction

and clean edges, even with difficult source material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural shadows are handled

superbly.

Two floating Chroma Keys are available across both ME outputs.
