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 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.

      - To Set Up the MultiViewer for ViewControl over NDI®
        ViewControl integrates the MultiViewer output of the switcher with a graphical overlay from DashBoard to provide live video in the ViewControl windows. The MultiViewer must be configured to properly align the video for the buttons on ViewControl.
      - To Set Up ViewControl for NDI®
        Select the NDI® stream that is coming from the switcher that has the MultiViewer video stream.
- 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.

Connecting ViewControl over NDI®

ViewControl combines an overlay image from DashBoard with a custom MultiViewer output from the switcher to generate the interface.

Important: ViewControl over NDI® is not supported on computers running the macOS® operating system at this time.

The following connections are required for ViewControl:

Set the output resolution of the DashBoard computer to either 1920×1080 or 1280×720.
Set up a MultiViewer to use one of the ViewControl layouts that support NDI®.
Connect the USB cable for the touchscreen to the DashBoard computer.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with NDI®:

The MultiViewer must be set to VCNDIT or VCNDIB for the NDI® settings to be available in ViewControl.
The NDI® Access Manager from the NDI® Tools (ndi.video) may be required for the NDI® stream to appear in ViewControl.
If required, the NDI® Access Manager must be installed on the DashBoard computer running ViewControl.
When using the NDI® Access Manager you will need to add the IP address of the NDI® converter to the Remote Sources tab.
You may have to restart the DashBoard computer running the NDI® Access Manager before the NDI® stream becomes visible to ViewControl.
