Note: If Carbonite is operating in 3G video mode, the number
of video sources and layouts is reduced.
Figure 1: HD Layouts
If Carbonite is operating in a standard-denition video
format, the MultiViewer can be set to output
high-denition. In HD output mode, the MultiViewer is
only available on specic output BNCs and only supports
29 different layouts.
Carbonite Black automatically outputs high-denition,
but each MultiViewer is only available on specic output
BNCs.

Clean Feed Output
Clean feed is typically used for bilingual and live-to-tape
productions. It provides a second Program output that is
derived from a different location than the standard
program output. A frequent application is the recording
of shows for later airing without call-in phone numbers
inserted.
The clean feed output can come from before or between
the keyers.

MultiScreen
All Carbonite switchers come standard with 2 integrated
MultiScreen generators. Each MultiScreen can break a
scene into up to 4 outputs that can be sent to independent
projectors or displays to make a unied picture.
Integrated edge blending allows you to compensate for
the overlap in projector outputs, or the outside bezel of
your display.
Each screen in the MultiScreen output uses a MiniME
™
to create the background and keys of the output. This
allows you to have 2 MultiScreen generators with 2
screens each, or 1 MultiScreen generator with 3 or 4
screens.

Pattern and Matte/Wash Generators
A single pattern generator dedicated to wipes comes
standard, and is equipped with 10 classic wipes. Most
wipes can be rotated, bordered, multiplied, aspectized,
and repositioned.
Matte/Wash Generator
A matte generator and complex wash generator per ME,
capable of multi-color washes comes standard. Any one
of the color generators can be assigned to MATTE, or
wipe pattern edges. An additional simple color generator
is available for an Aux Bus.
Tally Outputs
The switcher has 34 assignable tally relays located in the
rack frame. Each tally can be assigned to any number of
combinations of input and output or bus.
