OverDrive

Caprica Support
Carbonite can be controlled from OverDrive
®
using the
Caprica interface. This interface allows OverDrive
®
to
perform memory recalls, transitions, and run custom
controls on the switcher. For information on setting up
Caprica to interface with the switcher, refer to the
documentation that came with your Caprica server.
The switcher must be in a 2.5 ME mode or have 3 MEs
installed to be controlled by Caprica.
Pattern and Matte/Wash Generators
A single pattern generator dedicated to wipes comes
standard, and is equipped with 10 classic wipes. Most
wipes can be rotated, bordered, multiplied, aspectized,
and repositioned.
Tally Outputs
The switcher has 34 assignable tally relays located in the
rack frame. Each tally can be assigned to any number of
combinations of input and output or bus.
UltraChrome
The UltraChrome chroma keyers uses advanced video
processing technology to provide exceptional blue spill
reduction and clean edges, even with difficult source
material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural
shadows are handled superbly.
There are 2 floating Chroma Keys that are available
across all MEs.
