Utah Scientific, Barco agree to integrate router, multiviewer

Utah Scientific has entered into an agreement with Barco to integrate Barco's high-resolution multiviewers with its routing switchers. The integrated systems provide a simple method for instantly identifying the status of multiple video sources.

During the first phase of the agreement, Barco and Utah Scientific engineers have developed the MV-Bridge, a hardware/software solution that integrates the control systems of the Barco SMV-116 compact multiviewer with Utah Scientific routing switchers.

The 16-channel, high-resolution multiviewer includes a comprehensive set of features, including as many as 16 auto-sensing composite, SD and HD (3G) inputs, as well as DVI-I video inputs (up to 1080p).
