Utah Scientific First
to Employ Innovative New Switching Technology in a
Video Router
SALT LAKE CITY — Oct. 25, 2010 — Utah
Scientific, a leading provider of digital and HDTV
routing switchers for media enterprises of all kinds,
today announced that it is the first manufacturer
in the world to deploy innovative new high-performance
switching from Mindspeed Technologies Inc. in a video
router. Currently, the company’s top-of-the-line
UTAH-400 288R video router is shipping with the Mindspeed®
M21170 crosspoint switch at its core.
The Mindspeed M21170 is a single part that replaces
the four interconnected 144x144 crosspoint chips that
were previously required to create a 288x288 matrix.
Use of the M21170 enables Utah Scientific to simplify
router design, resulting in a system that uses less
power, generates less heat, and operates more reliably.
“At Utah Scientific, we leverage the best advanced
technology to give our customers the best products
for the job,” said Tom Harmon, president and
CEO of Utah Scientific. “Like Utah Scientific,
Mindspeed Technologies is a technology leader, a pioneer
in the development of highly advanced crosspoint switches.
With the Mindspeed crosspoint switch inside it, our
UTAH-400 288R becomes even more efficient in its usage
of power and rack space. In short, our use of the
Mindspeed M21170 enables us to give our customers
more bang for their router buck.
”
Able to expand seamlessly from 8x8 to 1152x1152 and
beyond, the UTAH-400 series of routers was designed
to address the growing requirement for large switching
systems. Features include a wide selection of frame
sizes for all signal types; a full range of I/O options
including 3Gbps, analog, and fiber; optional crosspoint
redundancy in all matrix sizes; redundant power supplies
and controller cards; and signal-presence detection.
