UDS-GPIO

The UDS-GPIO is a universal GPIO unit that can operate with any Utah Scientific control system. Its functionality duplicates that of the UCP-GPIO/E, allowing mapping of individual contacts to a specific source-destination combination. Latching and revert (joystick override) modes are also included. The UDS-GPIO does not utilize Ucon Utah configuration software but instead provides an internal web server that operates with standard web browsers for simple setup. With its small footprint, the unit can be placed in a discrete location.

The UDS-GPIO control unit uses contact closures to extend the operation of the router controller to external devices. The unit provides 16 inbound contact closures (GPIs) and 16 outbound GPOs. The GPI’s can be configured for momentary or latching (revert) operation. In revert (joystick override) operation, the crosspoint associated with that contact is activated as long as the closure is active. When released, the router switches back to the previous source.

What Our Customers Have To Say About Us

“As a well-known provider of dependable, worry-free routers with the world’s best warranty, Utah Scientific was an easy choice to supply the routers for this value-added solution.”
– Peter Schut, Senior Vice President, Media Infrastructure, EVS
“Based on our ongoing and successful partnership with Utah Scientific, we already have firsthand experience with the company’s engineering excellence, product reliability, and first-rate service and support.”
– Todd Mason, Founder and CEO, BMG (Broadcast Media Group)
“Utah Scientific has outstanding brand recognition in the studio and mobile broadcast markets and a stellar reputation for reliability, longevity, and customer service.”
– Michel Suissa, Managing Director of Professional Solutions, The Studio-B&H
“The new Utah Scientific system has made a huge difference in our production capabilities, allowing us to handle five times the programming output of the old facility.”
– David Finer, Manager, City Channel Pittsburgh
“The first and most important element in our decision to renew with Utah Scientific was our current router's dependability. It ran 24/7, 365 for nine years, with no failures: whether power supply failures or control failures. There was never a need to reboot the router.”
– Craig Jutson, City of San José
“The UTAH-400 was a great choice for the upgrade. Not only does the router come with Utah Scientific’s no-fee, 10-year warranty — unheard of in the broadcast industry — but it’s based on a unique hybrid signal architecture that offers a single platform for all types of signals, including those used in IP networks.”
– Chuck Heffner, Digital Video Group
