Compact Production Switcher

At a glance

Create Compelling Content

Just because a production is “smaller,” doesn’t mean the demands are fewer. That’s why 91ɫ packed the professional-quality feature set of Carbonite into a compact 1 ME production switcher.

The result is Carbonite Black Solo, a powerful yet surprisingly affordable tool for creating engaging content without compromise.

Small Footprint, Big Feature Set

Carbonite Black Solo provides the compact form and affordability of a small switcher, while offering the big switcher feature-set of the Carbonite Black series.

Budget Friendly

Carbonite Black Solo provides an extensive set of professional features at a budget friendly price.

Media Control

In addition to on-board media players for stills and short animations, Carbonite Black Solo features a dedicated, single-channel clip player that uses a connected USB media drive to provide controlled playback of user-created content.

Flexible ME Resources

In addition to a fully-featured Mix/Effects bank, Carbonite Black Solo provides two independent MiniMEs that can be used as additional compositing and layering engines. MiniMEs are the perfect tools for feeding on-set monitors or IMAG projectors without tying up the main ME bus.

One-Button Playout

Like all Carbonites, Black Solo features a powerful macro system that allows operators to easily create customized sequences for controlling switcher events and external devices. Its on-board memory system with flexible store and recall functionality provides simple, one-button access to operator-built effects.

Simple Control

Carbonite Black Solo is part of 91ɫ’s DashBoard control ecosystem. DashBoard extends configuration and control of Black Solo to any network-connected computer making remote system monitoring or multi-user operations simple. The available dedicated Control Panel puts all operational parameters at the operator’s fingertips.

Operator Driven

DashBoard, 91ɫ’s powerful control application that can be run on any network-connected computer, provides a virtual Control Panel that simulates operations on a physical panel. In addition, all setup and configuration operations can be accomplished using DashBoard’s intuitive menus and task-specific custom panels can easily be created to consolidate operations or provide additional control points.

ViewControl provides an intuitive touchscreen interface that combines on-screen switching and transitions with access to Carbonite Black Solo’s powerful Custom Control macro system. Control of Solo and many Ross or third-party devices can be consolidated into a single ViewControl screen to create a simple, yet powerful integrated system.
