UTAH-100 UHD DA

Fully Configurable 12G Distribution Amplifier

A 16-input, 32-output matrix DA that handles 1.5G, 3G, and 12G UHD signals from a single 1RU frame. Every output port is independently assignable to any input, giving engineers complete control over signal distribution without the need for separate hardware for each format.

Signal Distribution

One frame. Every rate. Any destination.

The UTAH-100 UHD DA operates as a 16-input, 32-output matrix distribution amplifier in a single 1RU chassis. Rather than locking you into a fixed signal format, it handles 1.5G, 3G, and 12G UHD-SDI signals simultaneously — with each output independently assignable to any input. Native software control and a redundant power supply round out a package built for facilities where downtime is not an option.

Master Control Facilities

Broadcast operations running mixed HD and UHD workflows need a distribution layer that doesn't force format uniformity. The UTAH-100 accepts signals at different rates on the same frame, feeding any output from any input without manual patching or additional format conversion.

UHD Production Studios

Studios producing 4K content over 12G-SDI require distribution infrastructure that matches the signal's bandwidth demands. With built-in reclocking for compatible signals, the UTAH-100 maintains signal integrity across every output — critical when feeding cameras, monitors, and recording systems simultaneously.

Playout & Transmission Centres

DVB-ASI compatibility at 270 Mbps makes the UTAH-100 equally relevant in playout environments where transport stream distribution runs alongside SDI video. A single 1RU frame handles the routing matrix for both signal types, reducing rack density without sacrificing flexibility.

Product Overview

16x32 Matrix Distribution in a Single Rack Unit

The UTAH-100 UHD DA is a fully configurable distribution amplifier built for facilities that need flexible, multi-format signal distribution without the overhead of a full router. Its 16-input, 32-output matrix lets engineers assign any output to any input — a degree of routing flexibility unusual at this form factor.

Support for 1.5G, 3G, and 12G signals in any combination means a single unit can handle SD, HD, and UHD video simultaneously. DVB-ASI compatibility at 270 Mbps extends its reach to broadcast transport streams, and reclocking on compatible signals keeps output integrity tight over longer cable runs.

Configuration is handled through included native software. The redundant power supply and sub-30W power draw make this a practical choice for space-constrained rack environments where reliability cannot be compromised.

Key Features

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

Fully Configurable Matrix

A 16x32 architecture lets any output port be assigned to any input port. Native software is included — no third-party configuration tools required.

Multi-Format Signal Support

Handles 1.5G, 3G, and 12G video signals in any combination — SD, HD, and UHD production signals can all run through the same unit simultaneously.

Reclocking on Compatible Signals

Reclocking restores signal integrity on compatible inputs, reducing jitter accumulation across longer distribution paths in complex facility environments.

DVB-ASI Compatible

DVB-ASI support at 270 Mbps extends compatibility to broadcast transport stream environments — useful wherever compressed video distribution sits alongside baseband production signals.

Redundant Power Supply

A built-in redundant power supply protects continuous operation against single power path failures — essential for distribution infrastructure that runs around the clock.

Compact 1RU Form Factor

At 19x3.5" and under 30W power draw, the UTAH-100 UHD DA delivers substantial distribution capacity without demanding premium rack space or power budget.

From The Field

What Broadcasters Say

"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."

Chuck Heffner Digital Video Group

"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."

Todd Mason Founder & CEO, Broadcast Media Group

"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."

10 Year Hardware Warranty
Protected Investment

No-Fee Coverage for a Full Decade

The UTAH-100 UHD DA is backed by Utah Scientific's 10-year no-fee hardware warranty — one of the longest and most comprehensive coverage terms available in broadcast infrastructure. There are no hidden service fees, no annual renewal costs, and no small print designed to limit your claim.

For facilities that run distribution equipment around the clock, this warranty reflects what Utah Scientific has always stood behind: hardware built to last, supported by a team that stands behind it long after installation day.

Common Questions

UTAH-100 UHD DA — FAQ

Answers to the questions engineers ask most often about the UTAH-100 UHD DA.

The UTAH-100 UHD DA supports 1.5G, 3G, and 12G (UHD) SDI video signals. It is also compatible with DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps. Any combination of these signal rates can be configured within the same 16x32 matrix.

The UTAH-100 UHD DA provides 16 inputs and 32 outputs arranged in a fully configurable matrix. Each output port can be independently assigned to any input port, giving operators complete flexibility over signal routing and distribution paths.

Yes. The UTAH-100 UHD DA includes reclocking for compatible signals, helping to restore signal integrity on distributed outputs and maintain clean, stable timing across the distribution path.

Configuration is handled through the included native software, which ships with the unit. There is no need to purchase additional control software to manage input-to-output assignments or signal settings.

The UTAH-100 UHD DA occupies a compact 1RU frame measuring 19 x 3.5 inches. Power consumption is less than 30W, and the unit features a redundant power supply to maintain operation in the event of a single power failure.

The UTAH-100 UHD DA includes Utah Scientific's 10-year no-fee hardware warranty. This covers hardware at no additional charge for a full decade — well beyond what most broadcast equipment manufacturers offer. No hidden service fees, no renewal costs.

What Our Customers Have To Say About Us

“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.”
– Chuck Heffner, Digital Video Group
When making our purchase decision for a new plant router, the included 10-year support plan was a major factor that stood out among other manufacturers. We'd learned of the reputation of Utah Scientific equipment through colleagues and friends, and the opportunity to not pay for the equipment a second time through 10 years' worth of support contracts was a no-brainer. In the first five years, I've had nothing but great experiences when dealing with the support team at Utah Scientific. Whether I have a configuration question, a crazy "do you think this would work?" idea, or a bad fan, Mario, John, Dave, and Dave have always been knowledgeable, professional, and fun to work with.
