Carbonite Tally to JVC GY-HC500UCamera

Posted By Michael Smith 06-10-2025 12:06
Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
I'm trying to send tally to 3 new JVC GY-HC500U cameras. I saw this TSL support article- TSL UMD Protocol Setup and I have a couple questions. The cameras will already be on a closed network that I created along with the switcher. Can I send tally commands from the switcher straight to the cameras without ...

I'm wondering if anyone had used Metus player siftware in conjunction with a Carbonite switcher? I have a CF-224Plus frame with a Carbonite Black 2S Panel. I'm wondering if the switcher will be able to rool the video clips from the Metus Player channels? Has anyone had any experience with this set up? ...

I've got a Carbonite and I can not for the life of me figure out how to clear the mediastore cache. Can anyone tell me how to do it? There appears to be nothing in the manuals about this. Thanks! Mike ------------------------------ Michael Smith SUNY - BROCKPORT --------------------------- ...

I've done nothing with custom controls. Do you have any examples that you can share that would show what the sequence would look like to trigger a playout channel from the Playdeck software? Sent from my iPhone

Aaron, In the directions for setting up the Rosstalk there is a step where you select a "slot". How do you know what slot number a particular ethernet connection is? Once you config the Rosstalk is there a way to edit that set up? It looks like when you go back into that Rosstalk configuration there ...

Aaron thanks for the prompt response. I was looking this morning and it appears that I do not have a "devices" tab under my "configuration" tab to set up RossTalk. Under the ethernet set up there is a port for RossTalk. I do not see a way to add the Ross Talk Device. I've attached some pictures of what ...

Has anyone had any experience with a video play out software called "playdeck"? If so were you able to integrate it to any Ross switchers, most relevant to me is the Carbonite series? The software at first glance is well laid out. It has a lot of options. Seems easy to use fro the demo I've been playing ...

View Control for Carbonite Black 2s Panel

I've never used the View Control tab in dashboard for my switcher. What is the intended purpose of the View Control? I'm asking because I'm at a university and I'm wondering if I can use the View Control through dashboard to show how the switcher works at a basic level. Is there anyway to see the actual ...

I’ve got a control question for you. I have an AJA Kona LHE card with an AJA KL-Box-LH/KL-Box in a PC. I’m wondering if there is any way with the RS422 on the breakout box to control playback of files in the AJA Control Room software or Adobe Premiere Pro? I’m trying to see if there is any way to have ...

I've been using a 1 gig thumb drive to load animations and stills into my Carbonite switcher. Everything is working fine. My question is ... does the storage device have to be SSD or can you use a spinning disk external drive? Also, is there any size limit to the hard drive that the switcher will see? ...

I'm trying to assign keys 3 and 4 to always be my two channels from my Chyron graphics on both mix effects. Where do I set those so that no matter what I recall or if I hit store and recall to clear the mix effect keys three and four remain my two CGs?

One more question. Is there anyway to take the stills off my thumb drive and copy them to the internal hard drive so I don't have to leave the USB drive in the frame? #Carbonite

I've been trying to load some still .png images onto my Carbonite Black 2s. It seems like the switcher isn't even seeing the Thumb drive. I've formatted the drive fat32 and ntfs but neither seems to be working. Does the formatting matter? As far as the stills go I just have the files in the root directory ...
