MediaWipe
A MediaWipe allows you to use an animation from the
Media-Store to perform background and key transitions.
When the transition starts, the switcher plays the selected
animation over top of the background and keys that are
being transitioned. A cut is then performed behind the
animation to bring up the next shot when the animation
ends.
UltraChrome
The UltraChrome chroma keyers uses advanced video
processing technology to provide exceptional blue spill
reduction and clean edges, even with difcult source
material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural
shadows are handled superbly.
There are 2 oating Chroma Keys that are available
across all MEs.
MemoryAI Recall Mode
We take the guessing out of memory recalls by ensuring
that a memory recall will not affect what is currently
on-air. MemoryAI uses the content of the memory to
congure the Next Transition area and Preview bus for
the background and keyers so that the next transition
takes the same sources on-air that were on-air in the
memory.
For example, store a memory that has a key on-air with
CAM1 and CAM2 selected on the background. When
this memory is recalled normally, it pops the same key
on-air with CAM1 and CAM2 on the background. When
the memory is recalled with MemoryAI turned on, CAM1
is selected on the preset bus, and CAM2 is selected on a
key that is not on-air. The transition area is then set up
for a background transition to bring CAM2 onto the
background, take any on-air keys off, and take a key
on-air with CAM1.
Memory System
Storage for 100 complete switcher snapshots per ME,
MiniME
™
, and MultiScreen comes standard with all
switchers. All of these memories can be stored to a USB
media drive, providing custom tailored memories for
every operator and every show.
ME Effect System
The ME (Multi-level Effect) systems are standard. The
number of MEs depends on the chosen switcher model.
Each ME provides 4 keyers supporting pattern mask,
box mask, self-key, linear key, and UltraChrome
advanced chroma key for each ME and is available to
each keyer.
Half ME
The half ME option is available for any 2 ME Carbonite
or Carbonite eXtreme switcher and adds a third ME with
limited functionality.

MiniME
™
The MiniME
™
is an additional ME that is provided with
the switcher to perform basic dissolves and cuts. Each
MiniME
™
has 2 keyers, background, and preset buses.
Unlike a full ME, the MiniME
™
only supports dissolves
and cuts, restricts key 1 to DVE keys only, and has no
preview output. Key 2 on a MiniME
™
is the same as an
ME keyer. The MiniME
™
shares all the same sources as
the ME.
MediaManager
The MediaManager allows you to easily manage stills
and animations on the switcher in a graphics interface.
MultiViewer
Each MultiViewer allows you to view up to 16 video
sources, in 32 different layouts, from a single output
BNC. Any video source on the switcher, including ME
Program, Preview, and Media-Store channels, can be
routed to any box on the MultiViewer. All boxes on the
MultiViewer output include mnemonic source names
and red and green tallies.
All Carbonite and Carbonite Black switchers come
standard with 2 broadcast-quality integrated MultiViewer
generators.
