The power and flexibility of IP workflows continue to spread in the media industry landscape. From remote production, to broadcast, to streamlined signal distribution, IP offers a compelling vision for the future. However, for many engineers, the thought of abandoning a reliable SDI infrastructure entirely can be… unsettling. What if something goes wrong?

At Utah Scientific, we’ve engineered solutions that allow you to step confidently into the IP realm while keeping the reliability of your existing SDI systems. By strategically combining a Utah Scientific PassThrough Card, Gateway Router, or both with your current SDI routing infrastructure, you can achieve the best of both worlds: the agility of IP for modern workflows, and the peace of mind of your proven SDI backup.

Imagine the possibilities: with a Utah Scientific Gateway Router, you can seamlessly encapsulate SDI signals into IP streams without losing the SDI signal, facilitating easier transmission over the network infrastructure. With our hybrid architecture solutions, you can modernize at your own pace, leveraging your existing investment in SDI while strategically adopting IP where it provides the most immediate benefit. This approach minimizes disruption and offers major cost savings. The ease of integrating IP with a Utah Scientific Gateway Router means less time spent on complex configurations and more time focused on creating compelling content.

But what happens if the network experiences an issue?

This is where your Gateway Router becomes an even more valuable asset. The Gateway router handles IP and SDI signals simultaneously providing a stable fallback. In the event of an IP network disruption, you can instantly revert to your familiar and dependable SDI routing to keep critical signals flowing without interruption.

This approach, particularly with the intuitive design of Utah Scientific’s Gateway Routers, offers significant advantages over a complete and immediate switch to IP. There’s no need for an all-or-nothing transition, particularly not one leading to costly overhauls and vulnerability as your team adapts to an entirely new ecosystem.

No matter where you are in the transition to IP, you can embrace the future without sacrificing the reliability you depend on. With Utah Scientific’s Gateway Router working in tandem with your SDI infrastructure, you gain the power of IP alongside the security of a proven backup, all while optimizing your budget and simplifying your transition. It’s not about choosing one over the other; it’s about intelligently combining them for a stronger, more resilient, and more versatile operation. So why wait? Buy the Utah Now!
