On-Ramp
Your IP On-Ramp, Configured to the Job
On-Ramp bridges SDI infrastructure and IP distribution in a single 1RU chassis. Gateway, processing, or both — up to four hot-swappable modules configure to whatever your workflow demands today, with room to adapt as requirements change.
Live Production & OB
Outside broadcast trucks and live production facilities that carry mixed HD, 3G, and 12G SDI signals can use On-Ramp as a compact gateway, converting feeds to IP for network distribution without adding rack space.
Master Control & Centralcasting
Broadcast facilities running Utah Scientific UHD, UDS, or Series 2 routers gain a direct path into IP distribution. On-Ramp's combined gateway and processing modules let master control operators handle format conversion and signal conditioning from a single device.
Distributed Routing Infrastructure
Multi-site operations and campus-scale installations use On-Ramp to extend SDI routing across IP backbones. Combining local routing with IP distribution scales sources and destinations well beyond what a single router frame can handle.
One Chassis. Four Modules.
Every Signal Path Covered.
On-Ramp is Utah Scientific's E.D.G.E. platform IP gateway and signal processor — a 1RU chassis that accepts up to four hot-swappable modules, each configurable as an IP encapsulator, de-encapsulator, or SDI signal processor. Engineers building hybrid SDI/IP workflows get a single device that handles gateway, processing, or both simultaneously.
Designed as the IP on-ramp for Utah Scientific's UHD, UDS, and Series 2 router families — as well as future Next Generation routers — it handles HD, 3G, and 12G SDI signals within a single chassis. IP and Processor boards can be mixed freely, and all modules are hot-swappable from the front without taking the unit offline.
When paired with local routing infrastructure, On-Ramp extends signal distribution across IP networks — scaling sources and destinations without adding rack space. A 10-year no-fee hardware warranty is included.
Built for the Engineer Who Needs Options
Flexible Encap/De-Encap
Configure each module as single, double, or mixed Encap/De-Encap to match your exact signal flow — without reordering hardware.
HD/UHD SDI Processing
Optional processing boards add Up/Down/Cross conversion, Frame-sync, and Clean and Quiet output — covering HD, 3G, and 12G SDI in one slot.
Gateway + Processing Combined
Mix IP and Processor boards in the same chassis. Run gateway-only, processing-only, or a combination — the architecture supports all three without compromise.
Distributed Routing Support
Combine local routing with IP distribution to scale sources and destinations across a facility or across sites — all managed through existing router control infrastructure.
Hot-Swappable Modules
All IP and Processor boards are hot-swappable from the front of the chassis. Swap, add, or reconfigure modules without pulling the unit from the rack or interrupting adjacent paths.
Audio Embed/DeEmbed/Shuffle
Audio manipulation is built into the processing pipeline. Embed, de-embed, and shuffle audio channels as part of the same signal path — no external audio hardware required.

Proven in the Field
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.
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.
The first and most important element in our decision to renew was our current router's dependability. It ran 24/7, 365 for nine years, with no failures — no power supply failures, no control failures, no need to reboot.
