At a glance
Create Compelling Content
Just because a production is “smaller,” doesn’t mean the demands are fewer. That’s why Ross Video 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 Ross Video’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.
