Following the successful launch of the Carbonite mid-size production switcher earlier this year, Ross Video unveiled the new Carbonite 1M – 1 MLE control panel at IBC.

The Carbonite 1M shares all the same features of the award winning Carbonite 2M which was introduced at NAB and controls two full MLE’s via its unique MLE swap function. The Carbonite 1M is a feature rich control surface providing single button access for up to 24 sources as well as instant access to Carbonite’s powerful custom control macros, advanced transitions and multi-function menu buttons.

“This new panel gives operators direct access to all inputs,” states Nigel Spratling, marketing product manager, Communications, Switchers at Ross Video. “Instant access to all sources ensures that those fast-paced, high pressure productions will be smooth and flawless with all of the necessary controls right at the operator’s fingertips.”

At IBC 2011, Ross Video expanded on the NK Series Routing System with the release of Resource Management on the NK-VRC virtual routing core and the addition of Jupiter ES Switch protocol on the NK-3RD third party interface.

The latest version of the software on the NK-VRC virtual routing core allows users to manage and control routing to and from external resources, such as format converters and tie lines, connected to one or more NK Series routers.
