CUF-124 - Overview

The World's Most Popular Mid-Sized Production Switcher!

The Ross Carbonite Ultra packs big switcher power and performance into a compact, 1RU footprint.

This budget-friendly powerhouse, which is equally at-home in HD or UHD productions, underscores why Carbonite production switchers are synonymous with performance, reliability, and value.

Tradition of Excellence
Built on the foundation of Carbonite, the world's most popular mid-sized production switcher, Carbonite Ultra represents almost a half-century of experience developing professional quality, cutting-edge live production products and is backed by one of the highest-rated customer support teams in the industry.

More than a Switcher
Carbonite Ultra goes beyond transitions and layering effects with frame syncs, format converters, multiviewers, chroma keyers, an audio mixer/processor and more.all in a single 1RU frame.

Format Flexible
Carbonite Ultra supports most common video formats and frame rates from SD all the way to UHD making this platform exceptionally versatile for facilities facing mixed signal formats. And since its onboard I/O processing resources can be expanded with easy-to-install licenses, Carbonite Ultra is an ideal choice for growing facilities.

Future Secure
Continually benefit from a software-defined hardware platform that is built to last you a lifetime. Carbonite Ultra customers will receive new features via free-of-charge software updates and exciting new software-licensed functions that go beyond just a production switcher.

Ultra-Compact
Were it not for its user-configurable front panel lighting, Carbonite Ultra's compact 1RU frame might get lost in a crowded equipment rack. In fact, its almost hard to believe that so many robust features and I/O matrix could even fit in such a space-saving, energy-conscious footprint.

Affordably Attractive
Carbonite Ultra's entry-level price point, including high-end features normally found on much more expensive products, is the lowest of any Ross mid-size production switcher ever. That puts serious production horsepower within reach of even budget-conscious facilities that still demand cutting edge technology to produce audience-grabbing results.

Production Power
Carbonite Ultra packs 24 IN / 14 OUT, up to 3 full MEs and 4 built-in MiniMEs - into a single 1RU chassis. Now that's production wizardry!
