WLKY-TV Upgrades to Digital Routing and Master
Control With Utah Scientific
SALT LAKE CITY — Feb. 21, 2007 — Utah
Scientific today announced that WLKY-TV in Louisville,
Ky., has recently ordered its new HD/SD routing and
master control switchers. The station has ordered
a UTAH-400 144x144 router configured for 112x88 HD
video, as well as the HD/SD-2020 digital master control
switcher. WLKY currently broadcasts one analog SD
stream, which will play out through the router and
master control — under control of a Harris automation
system — when they are installed in the first
quarter of 2007.
“We consciously chose a new router that was
full HD even though we knew we’d still need
to switch SD as well,” said Jim Mercer, chief
engineer at WLKY. “The trick is that we can
just pass SD signals through the router for now, and
we’ll save the expense of having to upgrade
the router from SD to HD in the future. Additionally,
the UTAH-400 makes it quick and easy to route multiple
inputs for the master control.”
When the installation is complete, signals from all
equipment in the facility will be routed via the UTAH-400,
including a wide variety of videotape machines, Pinnacle
video servers, and multiple satellite receiving systems.
