The Carbonite Black Solo 1 RU HD/SD Switcher Engine from Ross Video is an HD/SD video production switcher providing versatile switching in a highly compact form. Designed for live production, the flexible Solo 1 RU Engine is controlled using the CB-9 Control Panel, or via the DashBoard software interface for Mac, Windows, or Linux. Supporting multi-format video resolutions up to 1080p60, the Solo incorporates nine inputs including six HDMI and three HDMI, and six outputs including five SDI and one HDMI.
The Solo’s multiviewer output supports up to 10 source displays, and features multiple layouts, tally, labeling, and a clock function. Features include robotic camera control for VISCA, Canon BU series, and Ross Cambot cameras. Features typically found in larger switchers that are offered by the Solo include two floating effects channels for PiP or 2D transitions, assignable effects modules, four-channel animation storage with audio, one floating UltraChrome chroma keyer, and powerful 10-bit processing for advanced keying and effects.
