Video Output Setup
The output of each chroma key engine, MiniME ™ ,
MultiViewer, and aux bus can be assigned to an output

MultiViewer
The MultiViewer allows you to view multiple video

outputs on the switcher, including Program, Preview,
and Media-Store channels, can be assigned to any box
on the MultiViewer. Up to 4 (1 on Carbonite Black)
MultiViewer outputs are supported.
A time-clock can be added as an overlay to the
MultiViewer showing either system time or time code.
Keep the following in mind when working with a
MultiViewer:
• All MultiViewer outputs are in 1080p.
• MultiViewer 1 output is fixed to output BNCs 1
and 2.
• On Carbonite Black+ and Carbonite Black+ 12G
the additional MultiViewer outputs (2, 3, and 4) are
fixed to output BNCs MV 3, 4, and 5.
• The layout is configured independently for each
MultiViewer.
• Inputs are displayed with a red border when they
are on-air. A green border is displayed when the
input is selected on the Preset bus.
• All ancillary data is stripped from the MultiViewer
outputs.
