Video input and output setup, networking, and signalling setup.
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.
ME Follows
An ME can be linked to another ME so that actions performed on the first are duplicated on the following.

Setup
Video input and output 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 Outputs
  Any source in the switcher can be routed to one of the outputs and each output can be assigned to an NDI® stream.
  - Video Output Setup
    You can assign a video source or bus to an output and each output is assigned as an NDI® stream.
  - FlexiClean Clean Feed
    FlexiClean clean feed provides a second program output per ME that is derived from a different point in the video layering than the standard program output. The clean feed can be set to come before any key in the video layering for an ME. This allows you to remove particular keys without affecting the primary program output.
  - External Layer Mode
    The clean feed for an ME is used to create a composite alpha from the keyers on that ME that is then available as a single alpha source. This allows you to output both the video and alpha from an ME to an external switcher. The key video comes from the output of the ME and the key alpha comes from the clean feed of the ME.
  - ME Follows
    An ME can be linked to another ME so that actions performed on the first are duplicated on the following.
  - On-Air Setting
    Some switcher outputs can be set to be considered on-air or not. This allows you to set which outputs are tallied, how resource allocation is divided, and how the Roll Clip feature works.
- 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.

ME Follows

An ME can be linked to another ME so that actions performed on the first are duplicated on the following.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with ME Follows:

You cannot have a MiniME™ follow an ME.
There must be available resources for the following ME or MiniME™.
Memories and resets are also performed on the following ME or MiniME™.
Chroma Key initialization is only performed on the leading ME or MiniME™. The following ME or MiniME™ get the same chroma key parameters as the leading ME or MiniME™. If you are substituting the source on the following ME or MiniME™ the chroma key will not be initialized properly for that source.
You cannot cascade/re-enter follows. For example, if MiniME™ 1 is following MiniME™ 2, MiniME™ 2 cannot be set to following anything and no other MiniME™ can follow MiniME™ 1.

To Set Up an ME Follow

Set an ME or MiniME™ to follow another ME or MiniME™. Actions on the first ME or MiniME™ are duplicated on the following ME or MiniME™.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > System > ME.
Click the ME XFollow or MiniME XFollow button for the ME that you want ME or MiniME™ X to follow.

For example, click ME 2 in the ME 1 Follow row to have actions performed on ME 2 duplicated on ME 1.

Note:
The MiniME™ follows are only available if the MiniME™ is not being used for a MultiScreen. You must turn the MultiScreen off to be able to set the follows for the MiniME™.

Tip:
Select Off to have the ME or MiniME™ not follow anything.
