- SoftPanel
  SoftPanel provides you with a graphical interface to the menu system and control surfaces of the switcher. This allows you to setup and control the switcher without a control panel.
- Ultritouch
  The 2RU rack mountable Ultritouch adaptable system control panel allows you to control some aspects of switcher operation using a DashBoard interface.

Devices

The Devices page on the Configuration node allows you to configure external devices to be controlled by the switcher.

Tip: Click Disable Device to disable the selected device (does not apply to Audio Mixers).

Tip: You can apply a custom name to each device in the Name field. This name appears on the menus and allows you to quickly differentiate different devices of the same type, like cameras.

Refer to http://help.rossvideo.com/carbonite-device-db/index.html for information on setting up an external device.
