This used Ross Carbonite Ultra is a compact 1RU production switcher, supplied here as a 2 M/E system with its control panel. In addition, it works in HD and in 4K UHD with 12G-SDI, so it can follow a move to UHD. As a result, it gives mid-size OB vans, studios and live events a powerful switcher in very little rack space.

Typical applications

For example, the Carbonite Ultra is a common choice for mid-size OB vans and flypacks, where rack space is limited. Moreover, it suits news and talk-show studios, live events, houses of worship and multi-camera streaming. It also pairs well with the systems cameras in our range. In addition, the internal frame synchronisers and format converters make it easy to mix sources of different formats in the same show.

Furthermore, C2S Media supplies used broadcast equipment alongside its OB vehicles and systems integration services, for broadcasters and production companies across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
