Production switchers
share spotlight with new
Ross Video camera
If you are visiting the Ross Video
booth, your attention might be
drawn to the company’s eyecatching line-up of production
switchers.
Among these is the newest
member of the Carbonite family,
the Carbonite Black Solo, which will
“set a new benchmark in its class
for small production switchers”,
according to Ross Video.
The Solo has six SD/HD- SDI
connections and three HDMI
inputs, and it is equipped with
six floating frame synchronisers
with format converters that can
be assigned to any input, and
comes with five SDI and one HDMI
outputs.
It also features a single M/E
with four full-featured keyers, a
transition keyer for DVE and media
wipes, as well as an UltraChrome
chroma key.
Also new is the Carbonite Black
Plus, a “signal processing marvel”.
Described by Ross Video as a more
powerful version of the original
Carbonite Black, the inputs of Car
bonite Black Plus are all equipped
with frame synchroniser, format
converters, colour correction and
processing amplifiers.
Acuity, the “big brother” of
Ross Video’s production switchers
is also on display at booth 5D4-01.
Ross Video’s top-of-the-line, large
production switcher is designed
to support production of big live
events, including 1080p60 and 4K/
Ultra HD (UHD) productions.
There are more products to
check out, including Ross Video’s
Furio RC remote and motion con
trollable robotic camera dolly with
complete camera and lens control.

signed to allow users to software
license additional capabilities such
as advanced audio processing, in
tegrated multiviewers and 12Gbps
signal switching, and can be en
hanced with Ross Video’s Xpression
line of real-time motion graphics
systems, clip servers, workflow
tools and software applications.
And there was a time when
you might not have necessarily
associated Ross Video with cam
eras. Now, you probably will, as
the company makes its first foray
into the camera vertical with the
ACID camera. “We are not looking
to compete directly with existing
and established camera brands out
there,” Tan explains. “Instead, the
ACID is designed for a very specific
and niche market.”
Specialising in chroma keying,
the Carbonite UltrachromeHR
system generates a full-resolution
4:4:4 signal for the development
of high-resolution key edges, the
“first-of-its-kind” in the industry,
Tan concludes.
Making her presence felt at the
show is Ting Ting, via an iPad
mounted on a Double 2 tele
presence robot. Controlling the
robot from her San Francisco of
fice, she is able to roam around her
distributor Otsaw Digital stand at
Level 3 and converse with visitors
in real time.
John Ling, the business director
promoting the versatility of the
telepresence robot, says: “Ting Ting
is driving the robot’s movement
from San Francisco, not me. She is
able to respond to anyone wanting
to talk to her.
“We have sold more than 20
of the Double robots, mainly to
corporations as some of them
are keen to expand telecommut
ing. Driving your own Double
robot from wherever you are
means you can roam around the
office, lab or factory floor and
talk to your colleague or answer
questions or queries they may
have.”
Perhaps, producers can deploy
the telepresence robots in a studio
to talk to camera crew while in their
office or an auditorium to engage
viewers for their comments.
Head for booth 3B1-07 for
further information … and you
can choose to talk to Ting Ting or
