Ross Video Introduces Carbonite eXtreme

The Carbonite eXtreme - A Revolution in Production Switching and Signal Management

Production switchers are typically designed around the task of delivering a single Program output from multiple input sources, however many production systems today are required to deliver outputs to multiple screens, on-set displays and signal distribution systems. This is particularly true for live production of worship & stage events as well as within larger facilities and multi-site complexes.

eXtreme is a truly revolutionary production tool. It has all of the horsepower of Carbonite wrapped inside a highly configurable signal routing & management system. This combination is ideal for mobile production vehicles as it simplifies installation and operation immensely, while also offering tremendous flexibility and significant system cost savings.

The eXtreme chassis can be configured with an I/O of up to 144 x 144 in increments of 8. With eXtreme it is now simple to manage complex productions across multiple output destinations.

“We decided to take a fresh look at production switcher applications and formed customer focus groups to help us better understand the overall requirements of modern production systems,” said Nigel Spratling, Production Switcher Business Development Manager, Ross Video. “Carbonite eXtreme is the totally unique result of our research, and it’s the perfect solution. The massive reduction in rack-space and interconnections makes it ideal for production vehicles.”

“eXtreme is a truly revolutionary production tool, with the horsepower of Carbonite wrapped inside a highly configurable signal routing and management system,” continued Spratling. “It works with any Carbonite control panel and NK router panel, and when combined with our XPression graphics systems, BlackStorm playout servers and our DashBoard control systems, you have a complete ‘state of the art’ production system with full signal management. Nothing like this has ever been seen before, it’s a real game changer!”

eXtreme is available with any Carbonite control panel and destination based signal routing control is simply managed with our NK router panels. Of course eXtreme can also be configured as a Studio System with XPression graphics systems, BlackStorm playout servers and DashBoard control.

With Carbonite eXtreme you have a complete ‘state of the art’ production system with full signal management. Nothing like this has ever been seen before, it is another Ross first and a real game changer.
