This stylish new control panel is based on the award winning Carbonite 2M introduced at NAB. The Carbonite 1M shares all the same features of the Carbonite 2M and controls 2 full MLE’s via its unique MLE swap function. The Carbonite 1M is a feature rich control surface providing single button access for up to 24 sources as well as instant access to Carbonite’s powerful custom control macros, advanced transitions and multi-function menu buttons.
