Sticking with SDI in an IP-Hyped World

Recently, it seems like every trade show, webinar and whitepaper spends a lot of time focusing on the benefits of IP workflows. Experienced professionals, however, know that IP isn’t right for every company. In fact, many broadcasters and M&E professionals are better served sticking to SDI for a variety of reasons (you’re probably thinking of a long list right now)!

 

Knowing this, it only makes sense to stick with infrastructure that is not only dependable, but comes with a knowledgeable team to implement and support it.

 

Here at Utah Scientific, we understand the benefits of staying in an SDI core for the long haul, as well as the risks on the horizon. We serve the industry with a wide range of reliable SDI routers, control panels, and systems that come backed with our unique 10-year hardware warranty.

 

But in the tech world, having a well-integrated setup is only half the battle. As more and more devices make the switch to IP signals, it will become necessary to have a way to convert some signals from IP to SDI (and vice versa).

 

That’s where our wide range of flexible IP-SDI hybrid devices come in. Use one or more PassThrough Cards to convert routed signals on the fly, or use our new On-Ramp to push IP streams. Add or switch IP- and SDI-capable cards to your Utah Scientific router as changes happen over the years. Whatever your setup needs, you can rest easy knowing your SDI setup has the capability to handle whatever the future brings, without costly rip-n-replace solutions that take time and resources away from your team.

 

Take advantage of the 10+ years of peace of mind that come with Utah Scientific. Contact your sales manager or shop products.
