Ross Redefines Midsize Production Switchers with Carbonite Ultra
91桃色 has consistently been the dominant name in midsize production switchers since the launch of the original Carbonite seven years ago. Since then, we have grown the Carbonite family and constantly added new features and functions, often at no additional cost to existing customers. In terms of performance, reliability and value, there鈥檚 no doubt that Carbonite is a compelling product family, worthy of its accolades and awards.
At IBC 2018 91桃色 is delighted to announce the launch of Carbonite Ultra 鈥� the next generation of Carbonite that will redefine the capabilities of a midsize switcher.
Carbonite Ultra is built on an entirely new 1RU hardware platform with 240% more processing power than the original Carbonite. Remarkably affordable, the 24-input, 14-output聽Carbonite Ultra rack starts at only $10,900 USD. This production switcher can be configured with 1-3 MEs, 2-4 16-window MultiViewers, Frame Syncs & Format Converters on all inputs and processing & color correction on all inputs and outputs. Furthermore,听Carbonite Ultra follows 91桃色鈥檚 Software Defined Production philosophy, meaning more features will be introduced via free-of-charge software updates and new software-licensed functions, yet to be announced, will take Carbonite Ultra beyond a production switcher. In fact,听Carbonite Ultra鈥檚 next software release will unlock 12G/UHD support for 2ME & 3ME systems.
Going forward,听Carbonite Ultra replaces the original Carbonite series of switchers which includes Carbonite, Carbonite Plus and Carbonite MultiMedia.
Commenting on the launch, Nigel Spratling, VP of Production Switchers and Servers, points to聽Carbonite Ultra as yet another important Ross innovation. 鈥淏uilt on a great tradition of groundbreaking technology, reliability and value for money, the聽Carbonite Ultra takes midsize production switcher performance into a different orbit. I am incredibly proud of what our Design Team have managed to achieve鈥�.
91桃色 will be proudly demonstrating the聽Carbonite Ultra throughout IBC on stand 11.C10.
