Ross updates Carbonite and Acuity with new features: UltraScene, TouchDrive compatibility...

The range of production switchers Ross Video, starring Carbonite and Acuity, addresses a stage thanks to new creative improvements widely demanded by its users.

The version 7.0 of Carbonite Ultra y Ultrix Carbonite provides important new features, although it stands out above all UltraScene, a new stratification tool “easy to use” that allows you to manage complex compositions as a single source. With UltraScene, you can use up to 8 layers to create visually interesting compositions made up of keys, chromakeys, cajas DVE and more. UltraScenes can be entered into ME y minimum as background or key sources, like any other source on the switch.

In addition to UltraScene, version 7.0 includes functionality Production Sequencer, which allows operators automate simple, repeatable elements within a live production. This solution allows you to link a series of tasks, events or device controls, while complementing the macro capabilities of Memory y Custom Control existing.

Nigel Spratling, vice president of the switcher area Ross Video, believes that this update represents a “huge leap forward” in terms of new creative possibilities: “The features of version 7.0 included in Carbonite Ultra and Ultrix Carbonite not only allow internal production teams to deliver more attractive content, but also “It allows them to do their jobs more efficiently, as these new functions can be easily programmed and recalled using custom control macros.”

Acuity, compatible con TouchDrive

The introduction of control surfaces TouchDrive, with high-resolution LCD touch screens, provided operators of Carbonite “unprecedented” efficiency.

Thus, Ross Video has decided to make the range TouchDrive be completely compatible with Ultrix Acuity. This move, according to Spratling, allows us to offer “a more flexible solution adapted to the workflows and budgets of our clients.”

Ultrix Acuity software version 11, enabling TouchDrive support for Ultrix Acuity, is now available as free download on the Ross website.
