UTAH-400 GATEWAY ROUTER

Signal paths — both active simultaneously

Hybrid Core — Running SDI and ST 2110 Simultaneously

Your facility runs SDI as the primary signal infrastructure and is beginning to route ST 2110 IP streams alongside it. The Gateway Router manages both from the same control panel, with the SDI crosspoint fabric always live as a fallback if the IP network encounters any disruption.

ST 2110 Core with SDI Safety Net

Your facility has moved to an ST 2110 IP core but needs SDI retained as a hardware-level backup. The Gateway Router operates as a gateway and edge device in the ST 2110 core — providing the SDI safety net that all-IP architectures lack on their own.

Live Sports and OB — Mission-Critical Signal Paths

Your facility or OB truck cannot afford a single signal failure during a live broadcast. The Gateway Router's optional redundant crosspoints and failover switch, combined with the hardware SDI fallback path, provide the multi-layer redundancy that live production environments demand.

Native ST 2110 Routing Inside the SDI Chassis — No External Gateway Required

The UTAH-400 Series 2 Gateway Router delivers native SMPTE ST 2110 encapsulation and de-encapsulation within the router frame — maintaining a physical SDI connection for continuous signal flow with no downtime or signal path loss if the IP fabric encounters a disruption. Modern architecture reduces power consumption and rack space requirements by up to 25% compared to legacy systems.

SDI/IP PassThrough

Input cards simultaneously feed SDI signals into the router matrix AND generate SMPTE 2110/2022 IP copies available directly on QSFP ports. No external converters. No additional rack space.

Redundant Crosspoints

Optional redundant crosspoint architecture ensures mission-critical switching continuity. Automatic failover with zero impact to routed signals — built for 24/7/365 broadcast operations.

Modular Architecture

The same I/O cards work across all frame sizes — 72×72 to 1056×1056. Common cards reduce spare inventory, simplify team training, and make expansion straightforward.

Energy Efficient

The UTAH-400 Gateway reduces power consumption and rack footprint by up to 25% versus legacy conversion setups — a meaningful advantage at large scale.

Redundant Power

Hot-swappable redundant power supplies provide continuous operation even during a PSU failure. Built-in diagnostics and real-time status monitoring for rapid troubleshooting.

Control System Ready

Native compatibility with SC-4, SC-40, and SC-400 control systems plus NBOSS NMOS control. Full SNMP, RS-232, and Ethernet support for existing facility infrastructure.

"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."

"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 with Utah Scientific was our current router's dependability. It ran 24/7, 365 for nine years, with no failures — no power supply failures, no control failures, and no need to reboot."

The Industry's Only
No-Fee Hardware Warranty

Utah Scientific set the benchmark for the broadcast industry with the only no-fee 10-year hardware warranty on all routers. Full parts and labor, zero cost to you. No annual fees. No support contract required to access technical assistance. Whether you're launching a new ST 2110 infrastructure or protecting an SDI installation you've relied on for years, the Gateway Router will still be under warranty when it's time to upgrade.

PassThrough cards are PTP compliant with clocking not required — the system synchronizes SMPTE ST 2110 streams without a dedicated external PTP grandmaster. It also supports simultaneous management of ST 2110 PTP timing alongside legacy analog Black Burst references, so facilities don't need to replace existing timing infrastructure before deploying ST 2110 capability.

Five frame sizes are available: 72×72, 144×144, 288×288, 528×528, and 1056×1056. All frame sizes share the same modular I/O card architecture and PassThrough card compatibility, allowing facilities to start at any scale and expand without replacing chassis components.

SDI signals remain live automatically through the dedicated SDI path inside the chassis — no operator intervention required. The Gateway Router maintains a physical SDI connection that operates independently of the IP fabric. If the NMOS controller crashes or the IP network loses connectivity, critical feeds continue routing via the SDI crosspoint matrix.

Yes. The Gateway Router is NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 compliant, meaning it works with any NMOS-compliant control system regardless of manufacturer. It is also natively supported by Utah Scientific's NBOSS software-based NMOS control solution, which allows operators to manage SDI crosspoints and ST 2110 IP flows from the same familiar panel interfaces.

PassThrough Input cards slot into standard I/O card positions in the UTAH-400 Series 2 chassis. Each card simultaneously delivers SDI signals into the router crosspoint matrix AND produces SMPTE ST 2110 and 2022 IP copies available directly on QSFP ports — in a single card, inside the existing chassis. This eliminates external IP conversion appliances, reducing rack space, power consumption, cabling complexity, and single points of failure.

Yes. PassThrough cards slot directly into standard I/O card positions in any existing UTAH-400 Series 2 chassis without requiring a chassis replacement. The SDI routing fabric continues to operate as normal throughout the upgrade. Facilities can add ST 2110 capability incrementally at their own pace without disrupting existing signal paths.
