Available in five different sizes, from a single row 15 button panel to a 3-row 25 button panel, TouchDrive replaces all current Carbonite Black models except for the compact Carbonite Black Solo. XPression graphics, Ultrix routing, Tria replay and many more) and features convenient power/display/control connections for an additional external display. TouchDrive also includes a built-in DashBoard computer, enables integrated DashBoard control for various Ross products (e.g. It's incredibly intuitive! The new curved panel design puts every button within easy reach – we have kept and increased the number of tactile buttons that our customers love – and the custom color schemes enable TDs to configure and organize the panel look to their specific preference. If you see a readout you want to change, just touch it. These high-resolution displays, based on IPS LCD technology rather than monochromatic OLEDs that fade over time, make source and device control faster and enable functions like bus map creation without having to dive into menus. This allows features to be dropped right under the fingertips of the Technical Director. Every display on the control panel is touch enabled. TouchDrive brings the same touch technology we all know and love from the world of smart phones to video production switchers – even gestures. TouchDrive is a new family of control panels that has been designed with the Technical Director at heart and will completely reinvigorate the relationship between the TD and their production switcher.
#ROSS CARBONITE SWITCHER FORUM UPDATE#
I hope this is helpful to others who may want to integrate a PVS with Carbonite.The Ross Live Season 2 Keynote, following its announcement last month ( click here to watch the event on-demand), is today pleased to formally launch the latest innovative update to its Carbonite range of production switcher panels – TouchDrive.

Also, one cannot load a playlist by name as PVS does not save playlists.īeyond these limitations, it seems to work well however. The ProVideoServer will only respond to the macro if the file is already loaded into the playlist for that channel. There are, however, some significant limitations. You can also do this in Dashboard by entering the clip name, again following the instructions in the tutorial. This reads the file name of the currently cued clip into the macro. You can easily create a macro to play a specific clip by having it loaded in the server channel and recording a 2 step macro to select the server channel on the preset bus, followed by pressing CUE (knob below command screen). by following instructions in Les's video tutorial on AMP servers. I also tried to see what I could control using custom control macros. Pressing the NEXT button brings up LoopOn, LoopOff, and Stop. When I select a channel in preview, the Play and Cue commands appear and they work. I had no problem communicating with all four channels as long as I set them up as different devices in the Carbonite and then assigned them consecutive port numbers both in Carbonite and correspondingly in the PVS Config. We recently upgraded to v13 and today I did some testing with the PVS. It's taken me some time to update firmware and test this. Your videos have been extremely helpful in my setups. I must be missing a step, as I've seen PVS videos where they seem to be cuing individual channels via a Ross switcher. I have attached a few pictures below to show the AMP settings, and PVS settings as well.

It will connect to the first device setup in PVS, but will remain "listening" in the other 3 setups ( one for each channel.) I assume this has to do with using the same port (3811) when setting up a video server. This would be fine if I could add 4 separate AMP devices under the PVS settings, however it only connects to the first device setup. But when I build the CC, and assign which channel I want to trigger from Carbonite it's as if PVS only receives the signal and then triggers only what channel is set up in the PVS settings. So I followed your video, and set up one AMP with all 4 channels assigned to that AMP signal. I thought by selecting multi channel in the PVS settings that it would respond to the individually channel request from Carbonite. ProVideoServer has the option under preferences to respond the signal from Carbonite to either fire off one channel individually, or trigger all 4 together. The server also has a multi channel setting that will fire all 4 channels based upon one trigger. I am able to talk to all 4 channels independently, but only through the video server (ProVideoServer) settings.
