I have AE as well and can help next week if needed. Let me know, send me the AE files. Happy to give it a try on our Cardonite TD2. We have current software so that might help. ------------------------------ [Danny] [Skarka] Ross Pilot since Synergy [Producer, Director, Technical Director] San ...

Yeah. I figured you would have checked all that. I'd give Tech Support a call since this is a change from what has happened for you in the past. Tech Support is good at Ross. I screw things up and they get out of it all the time. ------------------------------ [Danny] [Skarka] Ross Pilot since ...

Hi Colin, You may have already checked this but make sure the naming structure is correct. I'm away from my gear but I know the sequence needs to start at a specific number and have a certain amount of digits. The other thing I would check is your AF output file size. ------------------------------ ...

Go to Navigation / Live Assist / Media /Media Manager. You should see a delete button at the bottom. This screen grab is of the latest version of Dashboard and Carbonite. Yours may look different but the function should be there.This function has been there for awhile. If you don't have it you may be ...

Ultrascene Recall

Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
Hi all, I've been playing in Ultrascene, mostly as a different way of doing double boxes (2-Ups as some call them) even though I have plenty of switcher space. But it's a fun feature. Except ... I have 3 scenes, UltraScene 1, 2 and 3 and two panel inputs, Scene 1 and 2. US 1 and 2 are ...

I set up the linking on the PC since it's a bit easier than on the TD2's touch screen. And then reviewed on the touch screen since operationally, thats where this function would be used most often. Always linking on the PC is a good point for future playing around. The screengrab shows the dashboard ...

I can connect to all things Carbonite Ultra, except for Live Assist. When I try to add Ultrix or Touchdrive sections, it just says "waiting". All of the areas I tried to connect display the green check. This is not really an issue for me. I'm just playing with the new version and figuring out what I ...

Hi everybody, With Carbonite 9 Custom Views, I have more potential locations to explore, though I haven't fully utilized them yet. However, I'm having trouble getting Live Assist to work despite it appearing to be enabled. I've attached two screenshots for reference. In the Configuration ...

Just checking on software versions. We have a TD2 with a part 4880AR - 212-02 (Intel Celeron CPU). The docs mention Intel Qseven as the CPU. So I'm wondering which version of the upgrade is for my panel. Also, will the panel accept a wrong version is an error is made? UPDATE: Tech Support ...

Ok, I played with this a bit. STATE has one event. It seems whenever I insert it, I get State EffDis 100fr. I tried doing some panel manipulations to change the state of the switcher, including going all the way back to STORE-ALL to recall the R State, then start a new CC and I still get the same event. ...

Hi all, I'm doing due dilligence just in case I missed a way to do something. I am using a DVE move to slide in a lower 3rd. (this is my way of adding "animation" to Lower 3rds) Lower 3rd- Media Manager 1 is on screen. Lower 3rd slides out (totally off screen) Lower 3rd changes ...

Sure. For animations, make them in After Effects with a green background (or any color that doesn't conflict with the graphics pallet) and export as 1920x1080 HD 59.94. (need that frame rate for animations to work, it seems). Make each lower 3rd it's own media file. Those will most likely be really small ...
