Reference and video I/O setup, networking, and signalling setup.
External video sources come into the switcher directly through an NDI® stream, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher.
The input router allows you to assign NDI® streams to switcher inputs.
The switcher runs as a service on the PC.
Enable or disable system access and control methods such as FTP.
The switcher can operate in any of the supported video formats (modes). Latency can be used to adjust system performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Assign video sources to switcher inputs.
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.
DashBoard pages can be assigned to custom page buttons in Live Assist.
Any source in the switcher can be routed to one of the outputs and each output can be assigned to an NDI® stream.
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 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.
The ViewControl interface through DashBoard allows you to coordinate the control over the Carbonite switcher and other devices through custom controls and transitions.
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.
The MIDI controller is used to control the RAVE audio mixer. The controller connects to the switcher through DashBoard.
