(CPS-SideShot)
This option provides quick access to the rst 24 custom
controls on the rst 4 custom control banks of the
switcher.
Remote Panels
This option provides external control for selecting sources
on an Aux bus from a remote panel. There are a number
of options for the remote control panels, depending on
your requirements.
On Carbonite eXtreme these panels can be congured
to operate as an X-Y, cut-bus or multi-cut bus panel for
the router subsystem, or as a control panel to select
sources any bus or run custom controls for the switcher
sub-system. Every control panel in the system can be
independently congured to meet the needs of the
particular operator. Connects to the switcher through an
NK-IPS over ethernet (T-BUS connection between the
NK-IPS and remote control panel).
On Carbonite and Carbonite Black these panels connect
to the switcher through an NK-IPS over ethernet (T-BUS
connection between the NK-IPS and remote control
panel).

DashBoard Display
(CBPS-DashMenu)
The DashBoard Display combines a DashBoard computer
with a touchscreen into a single unit that can be installed
onto a standard VESA-100 mount. The DashBoard
Display connects to the switcher over ethernet to provide
the advanced menu system interface to the setup and
operation of your Carbonite or Carbonite Black switcher.
The DashBoard Display eliminates the need to connect
another computer to your switcher network just to run
DashBoard.

easy as possible to install and operate, training is highly
recommended to ensure that the process of taking your
Ross Video switcher to air is a smooth one.
Training is provided on the customer's equipment at their
site. Expenses are extra, and billed at the completion of
the visit. Ross Video cannot guarantee the availability

will be invoiced at cost. Two (2) days, or more, of
