NAB 2024: Apantac And Utah Scientific Will Highlight Multiviewer And Router Integration

Utah Scientific and Apantac announced a new combined warranty policy. Starting immediately, Apantac customers will benefit from an extended five-year warranty when purchasing a multiviewer with a Utah Scientific routing switcher.

The two companies have worked closely together for several years, and this collaboration brings together Apantac’s expertise in video processing and multiviewer solutions with Utah Scientific’s proficiency in routing switchers and related broadcast infrastructure. The companies will highlight their technology partnership at the NAB Show in Las Vegas (April 14-17).

Through this partnership, Apantac has integrated Utah Scientific protocols into its multiviewers, which allows them to communicate and interact effectively with Utah Scientific routing switchers. Under-monitor display (UMD) protocols make it possible to display source name information alongside video feeds on the multiviewers’ UMDs. The integration enhances operational efficiency and simplifies monitoring and control processes in broadcast and production environments.

Utah Scientific seamlessly incorporates Apantac’s multiviewer software into its hardware panels, allowing engineers to build and retain custom viewing presets accessible at the touch of a button. Because of the seamless integration, joint customers get enhanced functionality, more options in their broadcast workflows, and more choices for building a scalable visual monitoring system.

“Apantac has always adopted an open philosophy, and our products are built with an open architecture that supports additional protocols and products as the market demands,” said Thomas Tang, Apantac president. “We are pleased to be working with Utah Scientific, a company that shares our vision of driving technology innovation. Our partnership allows us to provide our customers with a more flexible and feature-rich multiviewer/router solution.”

At the NAB Show in Booth SU7014, Apantac will demonstrate its T# mixed-format, modular multiviewers integrated with Utah Scientific routers. Likewise, Utah Scientific will showcase the technology integration between its UTAH-400 Series 2 UHD router and the Apantac multiviewer in Booth SU1027.

Brett Benson, Utah Scientific CEO, said: “You’ll find Apantac equipment in some of the most prominent broadcast workflows in the world. At the same time, studios, networks, and OB production companies of all sizes rely on Utah Scientific’s broadcast solutions. We’ve had many joint customers over the years, and the extension of the Apantac warranty is an additional point of collaboration to better serve those customers.”
