System Options
Options are typically ordered when the switcher is
purchased. However, you can order options if your needs
change in the future. Most of our options can be easily
installed in the eld. You can take comfort in knowing
that you can purchase options in the future and that
installation at your site will be a smooth process.
XPression
™
Live (XDS0-0001-CPS)
Seamlessly combine the creative power of the Ross
®
XPression Designer software with the ease of use of your
Ross
®
switcher. Create stunning still graphics using
XPression Designer, and transfer them directly to an
media-store channel on the switcher using the RossLinq
interface. Up to two (2) channels with dedicated alpha
can be controlled from the XPression Software Client.
This feature supports still images only.
The XPression Designer requires a computer with a
Windows
®
7 (32/64 But) operating system and an
NVIDIA
®
graphics card.
Redundant Power
The redundant power supply options provides protection
against AC power failure. It allows two external power
supplies to receive power from independent power
sources. Complete failure of one source, or power supply,
will not affect the operation of the switcher in the
slightest. If the main AC power fails, the switcher
instantly draws power from the remaining source. The
transition from one power source to the other is totally
transparent and has no effect on the output of the
switcher; a critical feature should one power source fail
during an on-air broadcast.
DescriptionOption
Adds a redundant power supply for
the Carbonite, Carbonite+, and
PSU-12V16A-6PIN
Carbonite MultiMedia frames, as well
as the Carbonite Black control panels.
Adds a redundant power supply for
the Carbonite eXtreme frame only.
CF-NK-P3G
Adds a redundant power supply for
the Carbonite Black frame only.
PSU-48V5.9A-4PIN
16 Input to 24 Input Upgrade
(CF-16IN-24IN-UPG)
This option increases the number of SDI video inputs on
the Carbonite frame from 16 to 24 and the number of
MultiMedia inputs on the Carbonite MultiMedia from 2
to 4. All inputs can be used direct to air, as key alpha
channels, or as chroma key sources.
Inputs can be freely assigned to any panel source button
or shifted button. They can also be hidden and accessed
only as alpha channels or they can be locked out if they
are not used.
Note: All Carbonite, Carbonite+, and Carbonite MultiMedia
frames comes with a full 24 SDI video input BNCs. This upgrade
option unlocks the additional BNCs in software.
1 to 2 ME Upgrade
(CF-1ME-2ME-UPG)
This option increases the number of MEs in your
Carbonite, Carbonite+, Carbonite MultiMedia, or
Carbonite eXtreme switcher from 1 to 2.
Note: The half ME feature comes standard with the 2 ME option
on these frames.
Carbonite Black comes standard with 2 MEs and can be
upgraded to 3. Carbonite Black does not support the half
ME feature.
2 to 3 ME Upgrade (CBF-ADD-ME3)
This option increases the number of MEs in your
Carbonite Black switcher from 2 to 3.
Video Inputs (CF-NK-I3G)
This option adds a card to the Carbonite eXtreme frame
that provides support for 8 additional video inputs.
Note: A rear connector (CF-NK-I3G-RC) is required for every
two CF-NK-I3G options. The rear connector provides the BNCs
at the back of the frame.
Video Outputs (CF-NK-O3G)
This option adds a card to the Carbonite eXtreme frame
that provides support for 8 additional video outputs.
Note: A rear connector (CF-NK-O3G-RC) is required for every
two CF-NK-O3G options. The rear connector provides the BNCs
at the back of the frame.
Carbonite eXtreme Second Switcher
Upgrade (CF-EX-2NDSWR-UPG)
Carbonite eXtreme can be upgraded to include two
independent switcher subsystems (switcher A and
switcher B). Each switcher subsystem has access to all
the inputs and outputs of the router subsystem. A router
output can only be assigned to a single switcher output.
This upgrade installs the Carbonite eXtreme CPU into
the second slot, and adds a number of cards to the system
to support the switcher.
