Revolutionary Media Player
Dedicated single-channel clip player built directly into the production switcher, for simple playout of video clips directly from a connected USB-media drive. There is no other production switcher in the world with this kind of built-in functionality.
Flexible ME Resources
Need a unique output for an on-screen monitor? Want to do a multi-screen projection on-stage? Carbonite Black Solo’s unique MiniMEs give you the resources to do this – without touching the main ME bus.
One-Button Playout
Smaller switchers generally feature base-level custom controls and memories, but not Carbonite Black Solo. This switcher features fully-customizable macros and a memory system with unique smart recall and effect recall functionality.
Simple Control
In addition to a refined control panel, Solo is part of the Ross DashBoard Control ecosystem. This network control software allows total control of all switcher functions and makes it easy to create a purpose-built UI for your specific production environment.
