Together the two units provide the same functions as the Black Solo All-in-One, but with the flexible positioning of two smaller components. The CB9 can also be used for multipoint control with either the Solo Engine or the Solo All-in-One. Connect the control panel to the engine via its Ethernet port, and begin switching your production.

The CB9 control panel has eight switcher source buttons, nine M/E source buttons, and dedicated keyer auto-trans buttons. Use the T-bar fader, and X/Y joystick with a separate Z-axis encoder, for additional control. Buttons feature background PanelGlow illumination, and the ability to customize button colors for quick bus identification.

Q: 1. How would this function with a 32x32 or 64x64 router? Is there a bank select style switch?

A: My controller only controls 16. If you need to control 32 or 64 you must buy a controller with the same amount of buttons. This basically controls a box that is located elsewhere. You put the controller in a convenient spot and the box is somewhere else. There is a cable between them. The controller has the buttons and the actual box has the BNC's connected to it. You just buy a controller that has the 64 or 32 buttons that you need.
