4K routing from Utah Scientific

Utah Scientific has announced a major extension of the Utah-100/UDS family with the launch of a new range of routing switchers offering 6Gbps UHD-SDI signal capabilities to support new 4K signal formats.

According to the manufacturer, the 6Gbps UHD-SDI solutions will provide ‘twice the density (at half the power) and outstanding performance at a substantially lower cost’ than competitive 3Gbps multi-link solutions.

Routers in this new series are available in 32 x 32, 64 x 64, and 144 x 144 matrix sizes, and they offer the same control options as the Utah-100/UDS routers introduced in 2012. Complementing the new 4K routers will be a 4K signal-processing module that provides multiplexing and demultiplexing of 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps streams to and from the 6Gbps format.

This modular system is based on I/O modules with 16 ports, interconnected by a crosspoint fabric that allows any input signal to feed any number of output ports. For mixed-signal applications, the new 4K routers can also be fitted with 3G cards from the Utah-100/UDS family, providing a full range of connectivity options including coax, fibre, IP-video and DVI/HDMI interfaces.
