At a glance

Bigger. Faster. More Powerful

Since its introduction, Carbonite Ultra has become the benchmark for performance and ease of use for mid-sized production switchers. So how do you make a really good thing even better? Grow it bigger!

Introducing Carbonite Ultra 60, a totally new class of production switcher from Ross that stands on the shoulders of Carbonite Ultra – an industry-leading product that has won the hearts and minds of operators around the world.

More is Better

Carbonite Ultra 60 provides up to 60 inputs and 25 outputs in HD or UHD. The switcher is built in a modular 3RU frame, which allows facilities to start with a lower number of inputs and outputs and then upgrade to the maximum as needs increase.

A Proven Pedigree

Although Ultra 60 is a new hardware platform designed to provide incredible performance and outstanding reliability, it shares the DNA of Carbonite Ultra, our 1RU best-in-show production powerhouse.

Production Switcher++

Like Carbonite Ultra, the new Carbonite Ultra 60 platform goes well beyond simple layering and transitions with onboard Frame Syncs, Format Converters, MultiViewers, and much more.

A Perfect Match

Powerful output processing makes it easy to match multiple on-set or on-stage displays to achieve a perfect final result.

A Sound Investment

Audio mixing and processing capabilities are available with an easy-to-install license.

Recognizably Familiar

Although Carbonite Ultra 60 represents the next stage in the evolution of the Carbonite series, it shares the same operator-friendly toolset that has been the hallmark of Carbonite since Day 1.
