Utah Scientific

A LONG HISTORY OF LEADING ROUTING TECHNOLOGY

Utah Scientific set the industry benchmark with the first no-fee, 10year product warranty and is the world’s leading specialist in all types of routing switchers, master control switchers and related control software. The company was founded in 1977 to develop routing switchers for the broadcast industry and after a short span of seven months — in the spring of 1978 — delivered its first analogue router to KUED-TV in Salt Lake City. The company’s integrity and high-quality product quickly earned distinction and television stations worldwide became Utah customers.

Since its first analogue router, the AVS1, Utah Scientific has taken the leadership role in advancing routing technology. Significant milestones for the company include the first large-scale digital router, multi-format routing, integrated A/D and D/A conversions on inputs and outputs, integrated fibreoptic conversion and 300-Mb switching capability on all its digital routers since 1992. Additionally, Utah routers are the most energy efficient in the market. The company offers the industry’s widest range of control panels, allowing customers to specifically tailor Utah routers to fit any operation.

Utah Scientific has more experience than any other manufacturer in routing switchers and associated distribution products. Utah Scientific takes pride in knowing that the reliability and performance of their routers, control systems and master-control processors are unmatched by any product line in the industry.

Today and Tomorrow – Solutions for Traditional and Hybrid IP Environments Utah Scientific’s flagship routers, the UTAH-400 Series 2, are designed to provide a single platform for all signal formats including the growing IP network-based environments, giving broadcasts the ideal tool for navigating

to hybrid IP environments. The routers hybrid architecture provides a complete system solution for even the most complex signal management requirements. Utah Scientific has introduced a family of modules with the latest advances in technology that greatly simplify system design by incorporating into the router functionality that otherwise would require the addition of external equipment.

The powerful set of tools for switching and processing signals provides a complete integrated system for today and the future. Utah Scientific’s wide range of modules include SDI, IP decoding and multiplexing

of SMPTE ST-2022, synchronising incoming signals to a common reference, clean-quiet switching on specific outputs, audio shuffling, de-embedding, embedding, AES, MADI, fibre and analogue formats all in a single frame, allowing complete flexibility of facility operation.

In addition to this flexibility of configuration, the UTAH- 400 Series 2 offers a common set of I/O cards for any frame size. The cards are modular and hot swappable from the front. The series offers tremendous reductions in the physical space requirements and power consumption, increasing efficiency and ensuring long-term operational reliability.

The routers are readily scalable from 72x72 to 1056x1056 with frame sizes of 72x72, 144x144, 288x288, 528x528 and 1056x1056.

Compact Routing – 12G SDI Solutions for Emerging 4K Standards In addition to the Series 2 products, Utah Scientific provides routing switcher solutions that offer the smallest footprint and highest bandwidth available in the market.

The UDS line of products allow for SDI video, AES audio and analogue audio routing in 32x32 (1RU), 64x64 (2 RU), 144x144 (4 RU) and 288x288 (8RU) that provides compact size, minimal power consumption, low cost and state-of-theart functionality. The UHD line provides all of those features but adds support for SMPTE ST-2081 (6G) and ST-2082 (12G) signal types, allowing a user to support 4K signalling in their facilities without using four cables for each signal. The simplification of wiring infrastructure and reduction in cost is a significant benefit to the end user.

When this feature set is combined with the internal control system it provides a simple, user friendly routing system with GUI and distributed hardware control locations that can satisfy all customer requirements. Advanced Control Systems – Putting it All Together For any routing system to be utilised effectively, the control system feature set and user interfaces must be tailored to the needs of the customer. Utah Scientific has a four-decade history in listening to the needs of its customers and developing control systems that fit their needs.

The current offering, System Controller 4 (SC4) is the culmination of those years of experience. It has a complete set of features designed for fault tolerance, speed of reprogramming and ease of use, as well as the ability to interface to most of the standard protocols in use in the broadcast industry.

The control system as a whole offers numerous GUI control surfaces, dozens of different models of hardware based control surfaces and a completely open network-based control protocol. When this is combined with the fault resilient, 15-second boot time, Linux based OS of the SC4, what results is an extremely reliable and flexible system. Utah Scientific has more experience with routing switchers and related products than any other company in the world.
