Video input and output setup, networking, and signalling setup.
The ViewControl interface through DashBoard allows you to coordinate the control over the Carbonite switcher and other devices through custom controls and transitions.
The switcher runs as a service on the Graphite CPC computer.
External video sources come into the switcher through XPression or directly through an NDI® stream, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher.
Any source in the switcher can be routed to one of the outputs. Each output is assigned to an XPression framebuffer.
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.
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.
ViewControl is set up to use a direct NDI® stream on specific MultiViewer layouts.
