The IP Transition Doesn’t Have to Be Painful
The promise of IP is compelling: increased flexibility, streamlined workflows, and the ability to distribute signals over standard network infrastructure. But moving to a complete IP setup? It’s daunting, to say the least. It’s expensive, disruptive, and frankly, overkill for some applications. Even so, you know that the IP transition is unstoppable.
The PassThrough card is designed specifically for you – the Series 2 user. Here’s how it ups your broadcasting game:
- Works Seamlessly with Your Existing Router: Forget about ripping out and replacing your setup. The PassThrough card integrates directly into your Series 2, unlocking IP capabilities without affecting your core operations.
- Provides Bi-Directional SDI to IP Conversion: Effortlessly convert SDI signals (up to 3G/HD/SD-SDI) to SMPTE ST 2110 compliant IP streams, and back again. This isn’t just a one-way street; it’s a flexible bridge between the old and the new.
- Simplifies Complex Workflows: Imagine sending SDI feeds from your studio cameras directly over your IP network to a remote production facility, or receiving IP feeds from remote locations and immediately integrating them into your broadcast. The PassThrough card makes it easy.
- Protects Your Investment: You’ve invested in a quality system for at least 10 years. The PassThrough card allows you to leverage that setup while strategically adding IP capabilities where they make the most sense.
- Easy to Use: We designed the PassThrough card with the user in mind. It’s intuitive to configure and operate, minimizing the learning curve and maximizing your efficiency.
The Bottom Line: The PassThrough card is about empowering you to modernize your workflows intelligently, affordably, and with the confidence that comes from using Utah Scientific’s routers.
