Carbonite
Designed for Live!
Carbonite builds on the Ross Video reputation for
designing switchers for live studios, trucks, and
post-production. At the center of the action, it is
important that the switcher be powerful and versatile,
yet maintain its ease of operation. This frees the operator
to concentrate on the programming instead of the
equipment, delivering a cleaner, more professional
production.
Carbonite eXtreme represents the cutting edge in video
production innovation. By combining the video
manipulation power of the Carbonite video production
switcher with the robust signal routing and management
of the NK-3G144-X router you have a combination that
offers tremendous exibility in operation and
conguration with a signicant cost savings. Whether it
is a mobile application where space is paramount, or an
event based application where destination based routing
is the norm, Carbonite eXtreme delivers.
Carbonite Black improves on the highly popular
Carbonite series by bringing up to 3 MEs, 4 MiniME
™
outputs, more I/O, dedicated AES audio outputs, and full
DashBoard integration with a touchscreen display. All
this in the same compact 2RU frame form factor and
intuitive control panel you have come to expect.
Designed for Automation!
The Carbonite family of switchers support the highly
advanced OverDrive
®
Caprica automated production
control system. Caprica takes advantage of the years of
device integration that Ross
®
has developed in the large
switcher product lines and puts it into an independent
server. The Caprica server takes the place of the
production switcher for controlling over 200 additional
production elements (such as robotics, graphics, audio
mixers, servers, etc.), timing the show and creating
production macros.
Designed for Linear!
The Carbonite family of switchers continues to build on
Ross
®
Video's reputation for setting the standard for
multi-denition linear editing suites. The traditional
layout and familiar controls of other Ross
®
switchers
provide the power and ease of use you have come to
expect.
Carbonite cleanly connects to virtually any editor using
the industry standard GVG100/110 protocols.
Designed for You!

4 • Carbonite — Carbonite Configuration Guide (v11.1)
Features
Thank you for your interest in the Ross
®
Carbonite Series
Multi-Denition Live Production Switcher. The
Carbonite series builds on the Ross
®
reputation for
designing switchers that t the needs of any production
environment.
Custom Controls
This feature brings the power of macros to the switcher
operator. Button presses, menu selections, event
commands, or even the switcher state can be recorded to
a custom control with pauses or holds between the events.
A simple button press can play these events back again.
Step through complex show openings as easily as
pressing Custom Control buttons 1, 2, then 3.
Device Control
The switcher can control a number of external devices,
such as video servers and robotic cameras. For a complete
list of supported devices, and information on how to set
up and control these devices, visit the Ross Video website
(rossvideo.com/production-switchers/carbonite/interface-list).
OverDrive
®
Caprica Support
Carbonite can be controlled from OverDrive
®
using the
Caprica interface. This interface allows OverDrive
®
to
perform memory recalls, transitions, and run custom
controls on the switcher. For information on setting up
Caprica to interface with the switcher, refer to the
documentation that came with your Caprica server.
The switcher must be in a 2.5 ME mode or have 3 MEs
installed to be controlled by Caprica.
DVE (Fly Key)
The advanced 2D DVE comes standard with each
switcher, and can be used for performing over the
shoulder, or picture in picture shots. This allows all key
types to be zoomed, cropped, and repositioned
horizontally and vertically to create the look you want,
or you can use one of the useful pre-built 2D effects to
perform 2D background transitions.
The Carbonite+ and Carbonite MultiMedia frames have
8 channels of DVE, or 4 channels in a 3G MiniME
™
or
3G 2.5 ME switcher mode. The Carbonite and Carbonite
eXtreme frames can select between 8 channels of DVE
and 0 FSFCs, or 4 channels of DVE and 6 FSFCs.
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.
Source
Effect
Destination
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 rst, 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.
General Purpose Interface (GPI)
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.
LiveEDL
Edit Decision Lists (EDL) are les used by non-linear
editing (NLE) suites to aid in post-production. Your
switcher can capture EDL data in a le that you load into
your NLE suite.
For information on using the LiveEDL feature, visit the
Ross Video Website (rossvideo.com).
Media-Store
Up to 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.
Media-Store provides 8 GB of cache. Channels 1 and 3
have 4 GB, and channels 2 and 4 have 4 GB. The number
of images cached increases considerably when smaller,
non-full screen images like logos are loaded from USB.
Carbonite Configuration Guide (v11.1) — Features • 5
MediaWipe
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.
UltraChrome
The UltraChrome chroma keyers uses advanced video
processing technology to provide exceptional blue spill
reduction and clean edges, even with difcult source
material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural
shadows are handled superbly.
There are 2 oating Chroma Keys that are available
across all MEs.
MemoryAI Recall Mode
We take the guessing out of memory recalls by ensuring
that a memory recall will not affect what is currently
on-air. MemoryAI uses the content of the memory to
congure 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.
For example, store a memory that has a key on-air with
CAM1 and CAM2 selected on the background. When
this memory is recalled normally, it pops the same key
on-air with CAM1 and CAM2 on the background. When
the memory is recalled with MemoryAI turned on, CAM1
is selected on the preset bus, and CAM2 is selected on a
key that is not on-air. The transition area is then set up
for a background transition to bring CAM2 onto the
background, take any on-air keys off, and take a key
on-air with CAM1.
Memory System
Storage for 100 complete switcher snapshots per ME,
MiniME
™
, and MultiScreen 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.
ME Effect System
The ME (Multi-level Effect) systems are standard. The
number of MEs depends on the chosen switcher model.
Each ME provides 4 keyers supporting pattern mask,
box mask, self-key, linear key, and UltraChrome
advanced chroma key for each ME and is available to
each keyer.
Half ME
The half ME option is available for any 2 ME Carbonite
or Carbonite eXtreme switcher and adds a third ME with
limited functionality.

MiniME
™
The MiniME
™
is an additional ME that is provided with
the switcher to perform basic dissolves and cuts. Each
MiniME
™
has 2 keyers, background, and preset buses.
Unlike a full ME, the MiniME
™
only supports dissolves
and cuts, restricts key 1 to DVE keys only, and has no
preview output. Key 2 on a MiniME
™
is the same as an
ME keyer. The MiniME
™
shares all the same sources as
the ME.
MediaManager
The MediaManager allows you to easily manage stills
and animations on the switcher in a graphics interface.
MultiViewer
Each MultiViewer allows you to view up to 16 video
sources, in 32 different layouts, from a single output
BNC. Any video source on the switcher, including ME
Program, Preview, and Media-Store channels, can be
routed to any box on the MultiViewer. All boxes on the
MultiViewer output include mnemonic source names
and red and green tallies.
All Carbonite and Carbonite Black switchers come
standard with 2 broadcast-quality integrated MultiViewer
generators.
6 • Features — Carbonite Configuration Guide (v11.1)
Note: If Carbonite is operating in 3G video mode, the number
of video sources and layouts is reduced.
Figure 1: HD Layouts
If Carbonite is operating in a standard-denition video
format, the MultiViewer can be set to output
high-denition. In HD output mode, the MultiViewer is
only available on specic output BNCs and only supports
29 different layouts.
Carbonite Black automatically outputs high-denition,
but each MultiViewer is only available on specic output
BNCs.
Figure 2: HD in SD Layouts (480i 4:3)
Clean Feed Output
Clean feed 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.

MultiScreen
All Carbonite switchers come standard with 2 integrated
MultiScreen generators. Each MultiScreen can break a
scene into up to 4 outputs that can be sent to independent
projectors or displays to make a unied picture.
Integrated edge blending allows you to compensate for
the overlap in projector outputs, or the outside bezel of
your display.
Each screen in the MultiScreen output uses a MiniME
™
to create the background and keys of the output. This
allows you to have 2 MultiScreen generators with 2
screens each, or 1 MultiScreen generator with 3 or 4
screens.

wipes can be rotated, bordered, multiplied, aspectized,
and repositioned.
Matte/Wash Generator
A matte generator and complex wash generator per ME,
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.
Tally Outputs
The switcher has 34 assignable tally relays located in the
rack frame. Each tally can be assigned to any number of
combinations of input and output or bus.

XPression
™
Live (XDS0-0001-CPS)
Seamlessly combine the creative power of the Ross
®
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
media-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
Windows
®
7 (32/64 But) operating system and an
NVIDIA
®
graphics card.
Redundant Power
The redundant power supply options provides protection
against AC power failure. It allows two external power
supplies to receive power from independent power
sources. 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.
DescriptionOption
Adds a redundant power supply for
the Carbonite, Carbonite+, and
PSU-12V16A-6PIN
Carbonite MultiMedia frames, as well
as theCarboniteBlack control panels.

On Carbonite eXtreme these panels can be congured
to operate as an X-Y, cut-bus or multi-cut bus panel for
the router subsystem, or as a control panel to select
sources any bus or run custom controls for the switcher
sub-system. Every control panel in the system can be
independently congured to meet the needs of the
particular operator. Connects to the switcher through an
NK-IPS over ethernet (T-BUS connection between the
NK-IPS and remote control panel).
On Carbonite and Carbonite Black these panels connect
to the switcher through an NK-IPS over ethernet (T-BUS
connection between the NK-IPS and remote control
panel).

DashBoard Display
(CBPS-DashMenu)
The DashBoard Display combines a DashBoard computer
with a touchscreen into a single unit that can be installed
onto a standard VESA-100 mount. The DashBoard
Display connects to the switcher over ethernet to provide
the advanced menu system interface to the setup and
operation of your Carbonite or Carbonite Black switcher.
The DashBoard Display eliminates the need to connect
another computer to your switcher network just to run
DashBoard.

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
Carbonite Configuration Guide (v11.1) — System Options • 11
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-ONL-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 ME systems. Four (4) weeks advanced
scheduling notice is required. Additional days of training
can be added with the CARBONITE-ONL-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.
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 congurations,
Peripheral interfaces, Video signal ow, System timing
requirements, Circuit block diagrams, Circuit board
overviews, Jumpers and indicators, Troubleshooting tips,
Software upgrading, and Routine maintenance.
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 ME systems. Four
(4) weeks advanced scheduling notice is required.
Additional days of training can be added with the
CARBONITE-OTT-1DAY option. Please quote one
additional option for each additional day of training
required.
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 congured, verify that all
peripheral interfaces are operating properly, provide a
basic technical orientation, and help you get on the air.
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-COM-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.
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.
