Video Mode and Latency
The switcher can operate in any of the supported video formats (modes). Latency can be used to adjust system performance.
To Set the System Latency
Set the sync frame and buffering that the switcher does to improve responsiveness or reduce dropped frames.

Setup
Reference and video I/O setup, networking, and signalling setup.
- Network Setup
  The switcher runs as a service on the PC.
- System Access
  Enable or disable system access and control methods such as FTP.
- Video Mode and Latency
  The switcher can operate in any of the supported video formats (modes). Latency can be used to adjust system performance.
  - To Set a Video Mode
    The video mode is the video format that the switcher is operating in.
  - To Set the System Latency
    Set the sync frame and buffering that the switcher does to improve responsiveness or reduce dropped frames.
- Video Inputs
  External video sources come into the switcher directly through an NDI® stream, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher.
- Video Outputs
  Any source in the switcher can be routed to one of the outputs and each output can be assigned to an NDI® stream.
- MultiViewer
  The MultiViewer allows you to view multiple video sources from a single output. Video inputs or outputs on the switcher, including Program and Preview, can be assigned to any box on the MultiViewer.
- Personality
  Personality settings allow you to configure how you interact with the control panel and switcher, as well as how the buttons on the control panel appear. All of these settings are stored in the Personality register.
- ViewControl
  The ViewControl interface through DashBoard allows you to coordinate the control over the Carbonite switcher and other devices through custom controls and transitions.
- MultiPanel
  Each frame supports up to 3 independent control connections (Main, Satellite 1, Satellite 2). Each connection can be from a control panel, DashBoard, or a combination of the two. Add devices on the same control connection mirror each other.
- MIDI Controller
  The MIDI controller is used to control the RAVE audio mixer. The controller connects to the switcher through DashBoard.

To Set the System Latency

Set the sync frame and buffering that the switcher does to improve responsiveness or reduce dropped frames.

Important: Latency affects the responsiveness of the switcher, including button presses.

Note: It is recommended to leave this setting on Normal unless advised otherwise by technical support.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > System > Global.
Click a Latency button to select the latency you want to use.

Important: Changing latency happens in real time and may cause video errors when changed.
- Low — use when all your sources are in the same format as the switcher (short latency with small queue).
- Normal — use when most or all of your sources are in same format as the switcher (default).
- High — use when you are seeing some dropped frames in the video output (long latency with large queue).
- Very High — use when you are seeing several dropped frames in the video output (very long latency with large queue).
