At the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Utah Scientific will spotlight its expanding portfolio of hybrid SDI/IP routing, conversion, control, and signal‑management solutions. This year’s exhibit focuses on live, end‑to‑end demonstrations of the company’s advanced ST 2110 workflows, featuring On‑Ramp, Pass‑Through Cards, NBOSS, and the UTAH‑400 Series 2 Gateway Router — all anchored by Utah Scientific’s industry‑leading 10‑year hardware warranty. Utah Scientific will also showcase complementary high‑density signal‑transport and distribution tools, including the MAXMUX Multiplexing System and the UHD Configurable Distribution Amplifier, demonstrating efficient ways to manage UHD and multi-signal environments.

Hybrid SDI/IP Workflow Demonstration Featuring On‑Ramp, Pass‑Through Cards, NBOSS

Utah Scientific will present a fully integrated, hybrid SDI/ST 2110 workflow built around On‑Ramp, the company’s 1RU SDI-to-ST 2110 gateway and processing engine. The unit supports hot‑swappable encapsulation/de-encapsulation cards and 16 SFP cages on the front of the chassis enabling incremental migration to IP with a routable SDI backup of all signals.

On-Ramp is part of Utah Scientific’s E.D.G.E. (Equally Distributed Growth Environment) platform. Every node shares the same compact footprint, allowing routing capacity to be distributed exactly where it’s needed. Users can connect nodes through a network switch to create a highly scalable routing environment with virtually unlimited growth. On-Ramp is the newest E.D.G.E. device, which also includes MAXMUX (which can increase CWDM channel capacity from 18 to 72 channels) and UHD distribution amplifier, configurable through Utah Scientific software.

PassThrough Cards deliver hybrid 2110/SDI gateways without needing external gateway devices. PassThrough cards can be installed in any new or existing Series 2 router providing 2110 encapsulation/de-encapsulation in addition to SDI routing. This gives the customer the option to migrate a single device from an SDI core to a hybrid core to an edge device all while enjoying the protection of a 10-year hardware warranty. There is no need to add an external gateway device – “The router IS the gateway.”

The hybrid SDI/2110 products will be shown under the NBOSS control layer, Utah Scientific’s NMOS control solution. Built on AMWA NMOS standards, NBOSS provides IS‑04 discovery and IS‑05 connection management, IS-09 system parameters and IEEE 1588 PTP awareness, enabling operators to switch 2110 flows as easily as SDI using Utah Scientific’s SC-4, hardware panels, Soft‑LC, or Web Panel interfaces.

“Utah Scientific has always focused on delivering the most reliable routing and control solutions in the industry, which is why we can offer a 10-year hardware warranty. A lot can change over 10 years. That’s why, at this year’s NAB Show, we’re demonstrating not just our hybrid SDI/IP philosophy, but the practical, fully working tools that let customers move to ST 2110 at their own pace. Whether you’re ready for full IP, staying with SDI, or operating in between, our solutions are built to support your workflow today — and for the next decade.”
