Memory AI Recall Mode
We take the guessing out of memory recalls by ensuring
that a memory recall will not affect what is currently
on-air. Memory AI uses the content of the memory to
configure 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.
Memory System
Storage for 100 complete switcher snapshots per MLE
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.
MLE Effect System
The MLE
®
(Multi-Level Effect) systems are standard.
The number of MLEs depends on the chosen switcher
model.
Each MLE provides four keyers supporting pattern mask,
box mask, self-key, linear key, and UltraChrome
™
advanced chroma key for each MLE and is available to
each keyer.
MultiUser GUI
The MultiUser GUI provides a graphical interface to the
operation of the switcher from a web browser. The
interface consists of a number of windows that allow
control over a different part of the switcher and can be
moved, positioned, and sized. The position and size of
the windows can be stored in an layout, called
Perspectives.
MultiViewer
All Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Switchers
come standard with two broadcast-quality integrated
MultiViewers. Each MultiViewer allows you to view up
to 16 video sources, in 29 different layouts, from a single
output BNC. Any video source on the switcher, including
MLE 1 and MLE 2 Program, Preview, and Media-Store
channels, can be assigned to any box on the MultiViewer.
All boxes on the MultiViewer include mnemonic source
names and red and green tallies.
If the switcher is operating in a standard-definition video
format, the MultiViewer can be set to output
high-definition. In HD output mode, the MultiViewer is
only available on specific output BNCs.
Note: The MultiViewer output is only available in the same
video format as the switcher is operating in. For example, if the
switcher is operating in 1080i, the MultiViewer output is also
1080i.
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 MLE,
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 Carbonite Multi-Definition Live Production Switcher
has 34 pre-assigned tally relays located in the rack frame.
Tallies are fixed to input, and aux sources.
