Video input and output setup, networking, and signalling setup.
Video Outputs
Any source in the switcher can be routed to one of the outputs. Each output is assigned to an XPression framebuffer.
Video Output Setup
You can assign a video source or bus to an output and each output is assigned to an XPression framebuffer.
To Set up a Video Output
Assign video sources or buses to the output and the output to a framebuffer. Some outputs are fixed to a specific video signal.

Setup
Video input and output setup, networking, and signalling setup.
- Network Setup
  The switcher runs as a service on the Graphite CPC computer.
- Video Inputs
  External video sources come into the switcher through XPression or 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. Each output is assigned to an XPression framebuffer.
  - Video Output Setup
    You can assign a video source or bus to an output and each output is assigned to an XPression framebuffer.
    - To Set up a Video Output
      Assign video sources or buses to the output and the output to a framebuffer. Some outputs are fixed to a specific video signal.
  - 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.
  - 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.

To Set up a Video Output

Assign video sources or buses to the output and the output to a framebuffer. Some outputs are fixed to a specific video signal.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Outputs.
Click on the Source button for the output that you want to assign a source to.

Note: Output 1 is locked to Program.
Click the video source that you want to assign to the output.

  - PRV — main preview output of the switcher
  - CLN — clean feed for main program of switcher
  - MEX — main program output of ME X (if installed)
  - MEXPV — main preview output of ME X (if installed)
  - MEXCL — clean feed output of ME X (if installed)
- Media — the Media-Store and MediaWipe sources.

  - MEXKYA — key Y alpha of ME X (if installed)
Click on the Framebuffer button for the output that you want to assign an XPression framebuffer to.
Click the virtual output from XPression that you want to assign to the output.

Important: You must set up a Virtual Output in XPression for it to be available to the switcher. Refer to the documentation that came with your XPression for more information on setting up Virtual Output.
