Since its introduction, Carbonite Ultra has become the benchmark for performance and ease of use for mid-sized production switchers. So how do you make a really good thing even better? Grow it bigger!
Introducing Carbonite Ultra 60, a totally new class of production switcher from Ross that stands on the shoulders of Carbonite Ultra – an industry-leading product that has won the hearts and minds of operators around the world.
Extensive Compositing
Carbonite Ultra 60 has ample capacity for advanced multi-layer effects and transitions with up to 26 independently controllable keyers in both HD and UHD, and up to 3 transition keyers. In addition, the UltraScene Advanced Compositing Engine adds 4 more paired compositing engines without consuming ME or MiniME resources.
Control Options
Since production requirements can vary, Carbonite Ultra 60 offers multiple control options ranging from the incredible TouchDrive series of panels to DashBoard-enabled virtual panels and ViewControl, a Ross-exclusive system that allows even inexperienced operators to confidently manage complex productions.
Production Sequencer
Stack switcher events such as transitions or recalls into one of five available Sequencer lists and then execute each one in turn with a simple mouse click. Sequencers allow any operator to execute a series of events repeatedly without errors.
Instant Recall Memories & Macros
Complex operations are simplified with an extensive Memory and Macro system. Memories and/or macros can be instantly recalled with a single button press and many effect parameters can be “ramped” from one value to another using Memory Effects Dissolve.
Media Storage & Management
Carbonite Ultra 60 includes six on-board MediaStores for playback of stills and/or short animated sequences. MediaStores “float” system-wide and each provides integrated key/fill capability. MediaStores 1 & 2 can also be used with Carbonite Ultra 60’s powerful MediaWipe transition keyers.
Integrated Ecosystem
Like all Carbonite switchers, Ultra 60 is completely DashBoard compliant making it easy to open configuration, personality, or operations menus from virtually anywhere. Multiple instances of DashBoard, running on separate computers, can provide multi-user access.
