    SDI routing switcher. It combines a compact design with unique control facilities to allow cost effective routing solutions and flexible, configurable distribution amplifiers or, when combined with a Utah Scientific SC-4 or SC-400 control system, provide a cost sensitive alternative to the flagship Utah Scientific UTAH-400 SDI routers.

  • Page 18: Control System

    The crosspoint switching and status monitoring of the UDS routing switcher is performed by the ‘MX-Bus Interface’. The routing switcher is simply a slave to a larger Utah Scientific SC4 or SC400 control system. This is useful if a user requires more control locations or hardware panel options than are supplied with the smaller UDS system.

  • Page 19: Router Hardware Description

    Router Hardware Description Router Hardware Description The UDS system is based upon a four board architecture similar to other Utah Scientific routing switchers. These four boards are made up of an Input board, a crosspoint board, midplane, and output board.

  • Page 20: 3G/12G

    System Setup The reclocking mechanism within the UDS automatically bypasses when a signal that is not one of these standards is presented to it, allowing non-reclocked routing of any signal from 18 Mb/Sec to 11.88 Gb/Sec. The coaxial version of IO cards uses the HD-BNC connector offered by Amphenol and Samtec.
