Intended for facilities that need hybrid SDI/IP functionality as they transition their facilities to SMPTE ST 2110, this system provides the UTAH-400 Gateway device and an SDI backup simultaneously in one chassis for maximum efficiency. Multiple frame sizes and configurations are available, from 72x72 to 1056x1056. Only Utah Scientific Gateway routers provide this all-in-one solution with a 10-year hardware warranty included.

As an example, a UTAH-400 Gateway router equipped with six Utah Scientific PassThrough cards and six standard input and/or output cards in a 72 frame offers up to 72 SDI-to-2110 conversions or up to 72 2110-to-SDI conversions — all integrated in a 72x72 SDI router that eliminates the need for multiple separate devices. 

Whether switching 2110 or SDI, it operates like a router, making 2110 routing as easy as SDI. It is configured to operate as either a core router in a SMPTE ST 2110/SDI hybrid solution or as a gateway and an edge device in an ST 2110 core, where it serves as a bridge between SDI and 2110 as well as providing a traditional SDI router as a backup in case of emergencies. This configuration ensures that the system will continue to function if there is an interruption to the 2110 core, such as the switch control system crashing. The Gateway router can work with other vendors’ SDI-to-2110 gateways, or it can work on its own.

This setup can prevent hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential loss of revenue and operations that can result from even a short period of downtime. It comes with Utah Scientific’s signature reliability — which saves time, worry, and troubleshooting effort — along with the industry’s only no-fee 10-year hardware warranty with included support for a decade of worry-free use.
