SALT LAKE CITY—Utah Scientific will unveil NBOSS, a new software-based control solution that streamlines the management of NMOS-compliant devices in hybrid SDI/IP environments, during IBC2025, Sept. 12-15, at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center.

Designed for broadcast, production, post-production and pro-AV settings, NBOSS enhances workflow efficiency and reduces operational costs, empowering facilities to build hybrid SDI/IP infrastructures with greater ease and reliability while also expanding the utility of Utah Scientific’s existing hardware, the company said.

NBOSS addresses demand for a more integrated and cost-effective way to manage Utah Scientific’s expanding product line, particularly the PassThrough Card and OnRamp devices. It allows users to control NMOS devices directly from Utah Scientific’s SC4 control system using a variety of interfaces, including hardware panels, Soft-LC panels and Web-Panel.

The innovation marks a significant step in simplifying IP integration for facilities that rely on the company’s Series 2 routers. By offering native control functionality, NBOSS eliminates the need for third-party broadcast controllers, it said.

Because of Utah Scientific’s 10-year hardware warranty for routers, NBOSS can expand an existing Utah Scientific installation with future-proof hardware and software. It also can be purchased as part of a new system.

NBOSS includes a full NMOS ecosystem that enables device inventory gathering via IS-04, configuration within the Ucon/SC4 system and control of signal connections to NMOS-compliant devices. This includes support for one video flow, two audio flows and one ancillary flow, providing a robust and flexible solution for modern broadcast and production environments. It makes switching 2110 signals as easy as switching SDI, the company said.

“With NBOSS, we’re giving our customers a smarter, more streamlined way to manage NMOS devices within their new or existing Utah Scientific infrastructure,” said Brett Benson, CEO of Utah Scientific. “NBOSS simplifies hybrid workflows, reduces reliance on third-party systems, and makes our Series 2 routers and OnRamp devices even more versatile. This isn’t just a new control tool — it’s a foundational step toward full IP domain integration.”

Remote production has helped improve media companies’ bottom line ever since it went from being a “want to have” before 2020 to a “need to have” in this post-pandemic world. By now, many of us have become more aware of the advantages of producing live events remotely but they bear repeating: cost savings, flexibility and scalability, access to a wider pool of talent and improved collaboration that leads to more seamless productions that can, in turn lead to increased viewership.

In our latest Guide to Remote Production, we offer insight and case studies that will help you better understand the trends and management techniques that are making remote media production a reality for more broadcasters than ever before.

SALT LAKE CITY—Utah Scientific today announced it will unveil two new products at the 2024 NAB Show, April 14-17 in Las Vegas. The MAXMUX Multiplexing System and UHD Configurable Distribution Amplifier (DA) provide more cost-effective and efficient ways for professionals in the broadcast, AV integration, and content delivery industries to manage and distribute high-quality video signals across existing infrastructure, the company said.

"By introducing these two products simultaneously, we aim to provide our customers with a comprehensive solution for signal distribution and amplification. MAXMUX can quadruple how many 3G/1.5G signals can move from point A to point B. And our configurable DA can be 1x32 or 16x2 and everything in between," said Brett Benson, CEO of Utah Scientific. "We are confident that these products will revolutionize the way our customers manage and distribute video signals, and we look forward to showcasing them at the 2024 NAB Show."

Utah Scientific’s MAXMUX Multiplexing System allows users to combine up to 80 discrete 3G or 1.5G signals into one uncompressed 12G or 6G data stream, offering a more cost-effective transport solution for fiber applications. This system is particularly beneficial for companies dealing with high volumes of video signals, as it is designed to increase the maximum number of 3G/1.5G channels over CWDM from 18 to 72, allowing users to quadruple their utilization of previously existing fiber networks, the company said. Increasing the efficiency of cable/fiber resources and simplifying setup and management leads to substantial cost savings.

Housed in a compact 2RU frame, the MAXMUX Multiplexing System supports standard resolutions of 12G, 3G, HD, or 720p video signals, with refresh rates of 23.98Hz to 60Hz. It can be used with any standard input or output (I/O) device, giving users more flexibility to optimize signal transport, reduce costs, and simplify complex transport scenarios without compromising quality.

The UHD DA addresses the need for distribution amplifiers that support up to 12G signals. This solution is designed to provide maximum flexibility and simplicity, ensuring that users can achieve the highest possible video quality and operational efficiency. With its ability to configure any combination of 1.5G, 3G, and 12G video signals in a 16x32 I/O matrix via native software, this compact 1RU DA offers unparalleled flexibility, ease of use, and cost savings, according to the company.

Other key features of the UHD DA include:

• Redundant power supply option: The UHD DA includes an optional redundant power supply, ensuring reliable performance and minimizing downtime in critical applications.
• Reclocking of compatible signals: The amplifier features reclocking of compatible signals, ensuring that the video signals remain stable and free from distortion.
• Compatible with DVB-ASI (270 Mbps): The UHD DA is compatible with DVB-ASI, making it an ideal solution for broadcast and satellite applications.
• Low power consumption: The UHD DA has a power consumption of less than 30W, ensuring efficient operation and reduced energy costs.

The MAXMUX Multiplexing System and the UHD DA will be available in late April. Both products are covered by Utah Scientific's standard 10-year hardware warranty, with an optional redundant power supply for the UHD DA.

Utah Scientific will be in Booth SU1027 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the 2024 NAB Show.

NEW YORK–Utah Scientific, will show off its new 4K Digital Routing Switcher and a SDI-to-IP conversion product at this year’s NAB Show New York located in the Javits Convention Center, on Nov. 9-10.

Utah Scientific's new UHD-12G 4K digital routing switcher will enable distribution of 4K SDI video signals from SD data rates up to 12G in a single-link interconnect. The switcher reduces rack space and cables needed to process 4K signals, which helps lower operating expenses.

Also on display is the UTAH-400 IP Technology, an SDI-to-IP conversion product. Utah is predicting as users begin to transition to newer IP-based setups, while still maintaining current SDI workflows, technical challenges could arise. With UTAH-400 IP Technology users can create islands within current infrastructures. Given that SDI is the predominant topology, the center of these plants lies within SDI routing cores. Any transition will have to address key SDI architectures and augment an existing plant. Utah Scientific will demonstrate new ways that users can employ bidirectional IP topology to begin creating hybrid islands.
