Utah Scientific Hybrid SDI/IP at NAB Show 2026

At NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, Utah Scientific will focus on its hybrid SDI/IP routing, conversion, control, and signal-management portfolio.

The company will center its booth presentation on live, end-to-end demonstrations of ST 2110 workflows. In addition, it will highlight products built for gradual migration between SDI and IP environments.

The NAB Show 2026 demonstration will feature On-Ramp, Pass-Through Cards, NBOSS, and the UTAH-400 Series 2 Gateway Router. Utah Scientific will also emphasize its 10-year hardware warranty across the presentation.

ST 2110 and Hybrid Workflow Demonstration

Utah Scientific plans to show a fully integrated SDI/ST 2110 workflow built around On-Ramp. The company describes On-Ramp as a 1RU SDI-to-ST 2110 gateway and processing engine.

The unit supports hot-swappable encapsulation and de-encapsulation cards. It also includes 16 front-panel SFP cages. As a result, users can move toward IP in stages while keeping routable SDI backup for all signals.

E.D.G.E. Platform and Scalable Growth

On-Ramp is part of Utah Scientific’s E.D.G.E. platform, which stands for Equally Distributed Growth Environment. In this architecture, each node uses the same compact footprint. Therefore, users can place routing capacity exactly where they need it.

Users can also link nodes through a network switch. This creates a scalable routing environment with room for expansion. Utah Scientific says On-Ramp is the newest E.D.G.E. device. The platform also includes MAXMUX and the UHD configurable distribution amplifier.

Pass-Through Cards and Series 2 Routing

Utah Scientific will also highlight its Pass-Through Cards at NAB Show 2026. These cards add hybrid ST 2110 and SDI gateway functions without requiring separate external gateway hardware.

Users can install the Pass-Through Cards in any new or existing Series 2 router. Once installed, the cards provide ST 2110 encapsulation and de-encapsulation alongside SDI routing. Because of that, customers can move one device at a time from SDI to hybrid operation and then toward edge deployment. At the same time, they keep the protection of Utah Scientific’s 10-year hardware warranty.

NBOSS Control Layer

The company will show its hybrid SDI/2110 products under the NBOSS control layer. Utah Scientific positions NBOSS as its NMOS-based control solution.

Built on AMWA NMOS standards, NBOSS supports IS-04 discovery, IS-05 connection management, IS-09 system parameters, and IEEE 1588 PTP awareness. As a result, operators can switch 2110 flows with the same ease as SDI. They can do this through SC-4, hardware panels, Soft-LC, or Web Panel interfaces.

Additional Signal Transport Tools

Utah Scientific will also present complementary tools for signal transport and distribution. These include the MAXMUX Multiplexing System and the UHD Configurable Distribution Amplifier.

According to the company, MAXMUX can increase CWDM channel capacity from 18 to 72 channels. Together, these tools are aimed at UHD and multisignal environments where density and efficiency matter.

Executive Comment

Brett Benson, President and CEO of Utah Scientific, said the company continues to focus on reliable routing and control systems. He said that approach supports Utah Scientific’s 10-year hardware warranty.

He also said the NAB Show 2026 presentation is built around practical tools for hybrid SDI/IP operation. According to Benson, the company wants to support customers whether they are moving to ST 2110, staying with SDI, or working across both environments.
