  • 1.  Switching Carbonite 24 to Carbonite 60

    Posted 11-18-2025 14:35

    Hi.

    We are changing our Carbonite Ultra24 to a Carbonite Ultra60.  

    The 24 is already running in production room with Overdrive.  Obviously inputs won't be at the same places on the new switcher.

    Just need some advices / guidance to proceed to the switch.   

    What would be best practice to do that kind of switch to minimise the work of rebuilding stuff...

    Thanks

    Hi Nick,

    Going from a Carbonite 24 to a Carbonite Ultra 60, you can either;

    (A) keep your existing input assignments and simply expand upward, or
    (B) redesign the entire input map to take full advantage of the Ultra 60's capacity.
    Keeping the old numbering offers a faster, low-impact migration and preserves your existing OverDrive templates.
    Redesigning the layout provides a cleaner long-term structure but requires much more work due to having to update OverDrive's Button Map, Device Templates, and any Master Templates that reference crosspoints.
