Ross Carbonite Series Setup Manual

Video Reference
The exible reference system in the switcher allows you
to use an Interlaced video format as the reference to
operate the switcher in a video format of the same
frequency. Choosing a progressive video format as a
reference limits you to operating the switcher only in that
same video format and frequency. For example, if you
have a 1080i 59.94Hz input reference you can operate
the switcher in 720p 59.94Hz, but not 1080i 50Hz.
However, if you have a 720p 59.94Hz input reference,
you can only operate the switcher in 720p 59.94Hz.
Supported Reference Formats
The switcher supports a number of reference modes for
both internal and external reference signals. References
to 1080p 59.94Hz (A) and 1080p 50Hz (A) refer to 1080p
Level A only.

Important: The switcher must be in a specific
switcher mode to select a 3G video format (1080p
59.94Hz or 1080p 50Hz) or the 1080p 29.97Hz video
format. Refer to Switcher Modes on page 39 for
information on setting the switcher mode.
The switcher allows you to use any interlaced video
format to operate the switcher in any format of the same
frequency; however, the use of 480i or 576i (Composite
Sync) reference signals for High Denition (720p, 1080i,
or 1080p) video modes is not recommended.
The use of composite sync reference formats is
recommended for Standard Denition video modes only,
and provides stable outputs with jitter performance in
compliance with SMPTE-259M specications.
Reference and Video Mode Setup
The switcher supports both internal and external
references. An external reference is provided by an
external device to the switcher through the REF IN BNC
on the frame. An internal reference is generated by the
switcher and can be fed out to other devices.
The switcher automatically detects the reference signal
and only shows the video modes that you can operate
the switcher in that are supported for that reference
format.
To Set a Video Mode
If you are using an external reference, ensure that a
proper reference is connected to the REF IN input BNC
on the frame.
Note: You must use an interlaced reference source to have
the switcher operate in an interlaced reference format if you are
using an external reference.
