Looking for a Ross Carbonite rental for your next live event? HRE’s Ross Carbonite Ultra rental package combines production switching, 12G-SDI routing and engineering monitoring in a compact touring system. Use it for camera switching, corporate general sessions and live-event video workflows.
HRE’s system includes a Carbonite Ultra pre-wired to a Blackmagic 80 × 80 12G-SDI router in the main 10RU rack. A separate 10RU engineering rack adds a Lilliput monitor, router control panel and Tektronix PRISM MPS-100 scope.
We help plan the operating format, signal flow and supporting equipment so the package fits your show.

Does the configuration change between 3G and 12G?
Yes. HRE’s 3G configuration provides 24 inputs, 2 full M/Es, 4 MiniMEs and 4 multiviewers. In 12G mode it provides 18 inputs, 1 full M/E, 2 MiniMEs and 2 multiviewers. Both modes provide 10 assignable outputs. Tell us your show format when requesting a quote.
Can the switcher and router be separated?
The Carbonite Ultra and router are supplied as a pre-wired system and must not be dismantled in the field. The switcher’s 14 physical outputs connect to router inputs 1–14, and router outputs 1–24 connect to the switcher’s inputs. HRE can help plan your external connections.
Can I add programming or an operator?
Ask us about pre-show configuration, programming and onsite technical support. Include the support you need with your rental inquiry so we can scope the equipment and crew together.
What should I send for a quote?
Send your show dates and location, 3G or 12G operating format, camera and playback source count, output and multiviewer requirements and any signal-flow drawings. Include your shipping schedule and any operator or engineering support needs.
