External video sources come into the switcher directly through an NDI® stream, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher.
Mnemonics
The mnemonic displays on the control panel show the name of the video source and can be customized for font size, color, and in some cases icons can be added. The customization that is available depends on the control panel you are using.

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.
- Video Inputs
  External video sources come into the switcher directly through an NDI® stream, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher.
  - Video Input Setup
    Video inputs are separated into sources and internal. The sources are the video inputs coming from NDI® streams, and internal sources are generated internally from re-entries or follows, or from media generators.
  - Source Names
    Each video source in the switcher can be given a unique name. These names can be customized for how they appear on the mnemonics by adjusting the size or the font and the background color.
  - Mnemonics
    The mnemonic displays on the control panel show the name of the video source and can be customized for font size, color, and in some cases icons can be added. The customization that is available depends on the control panel you are using.
    - To Customize Mnemonics for TouchDrive
      The TouchDrive control panels support RGB color mnemonics and icons.
    - To Customize Mnemonics for Carbonite Black
      The Carbonite control panels support three-color mnemonics without icons.
  - Auto Key Setup
    An auto key allows you to associate a key alpha with a key video source in the switcher. When the video source is selected as a keyer, the key alpha is automatically used.
  - Input Router
    The input router allows you to assign NDI® streams to switcher inputs.
  - NDI® Sync
    Each NDI® source must be synchronised to ensure proper audio and video timing. This synchronization can be either to the normal timecode in the NDI® stream, or the timestamp of the sending or receiving system.
  - Custom Page Auto Follow
    DashBoard pages can be assigned to custom page buttons in Live Assist.
- 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.
