Warranty Policies
Hardware Warranty
Utah Scientific, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that the Utah
Scientific hardware is free from defects in materials and workmanship
and will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying
written materials under normal use and service for a period of two (2),
five (5), or ten (10) years from the date of shipment. Any implied
warranties on hardware are limited to the above three warranty periods
(depending on purchase). Some states/jurisdictions do not allow
limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation
may not apply to certain specific purchasers.
Software Warranty
Utah Scientific warrants that the software will perform substantially in
accordance with the accompanying written materials for a period of one
(1) year from the date of shipment.
Customer Remedies
For the first one (1) year after purchase of the software and the first two
(2), five (5), or ten (10) years after the date of purchase of the hardware,
Utah Scientific’s and its suppliers’ entire liability and purchaser’s
exclusive remedy shall be, at Utah Scientific’s option, either:
• Return of the price paid, or
• Repair or replacement of the software or hardware
that does not meet the above warranties and is
returned to Utah Scientific under the returned
materials authorization (RMA) process with freight
and forwarding charges paid.
After the initial warranty periods, purchaser’s exclusive remedy is the
repair or replacement of the hardware upon payment of a fixed fee to
cover handling and service costs based on Utah Scientific’s then-current
price schedule. The above warranties are void if failure of the software
or hardware has resulted from an accident, abuse, or misapplication.
Any replacement software or hardware will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever
is longer.

ix
Section 1
No other warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
Utah Scientific and its suppliers disclaim all other warranties, either express
or implied, including, but not limited to implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with regard to the
software, the accompanying written materials, and any accompanying
hardware. This limited warranty gives the purchaser specific legal rights.
These rights may vary in certain states/jurisdictions.
No liability for consequential damages. To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, in no event shall Utah Scientific or its suppliers be liable
for any damages whatsoever (including without limitation, damages for loss
of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or
any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use Utah
Scientific products, even if Utah Scientific has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages, the above limitation may not apply in those circumstances.

Introduction

Section 1
System Setup
Introduction
The UHD 12G is a compact, power efficient series of SDI routing switchers.
These products provide 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.
The UHD 12G routing switchers are available in two frame sizes –
• 32x32 in 1 RU, consuming less than 30 watts of power.
• 144x144 in 4 RU, consuming 100 watts of power.
Both frames are less than 4 inches deep.
Control System
The crosspoint switching and status monitoring of the UHD 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 a smaller UDS system.
Information regarding SC4 and SC400 control systems can be found in their
respective manuals.

1-2 System Setup
System Setup
Router Hardware Description
The UHD 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.
Input or Output boards can be removed or added (via the midplane) in the field to expand
systems, change IO types or replace defective modules.
Figure 1-1.
The UHD system is designed to carry SDI signals. The system natively supports and reclocks
SMPTE259C, SMPTE292, SMPTE424, ST2081, ST2082, and DVB-ASI signals with a
maximum data rate of 11.88 Gb/Sec.

Section 1 1-3
Router Hardware Description
Section 1
The reclocking mechanism within the UHD 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. It provides superior performance and density while allowing connection of
industry standard Belden 1694 cable or other cable types with standard tools. Visit
http://hdbnc.amphenolrf.com/ for more information.
UHD Routing Switchers are powered by 12V DC connections. Systems are delivered with
1 power supply as a standard. (The part number for the optional redundant power supply
is USI 94001-9006.)
3G/12G
The UHD 12G supports two types of IO cards; those that support signals p to 3Gb/Sec
and others that support up to 11.88 Gb/Sec signals.

1-4 System Setup
System Setup
Signal Levels
A "signal level" represents one of many specific types of audio or video elements that a
routing switcher is capable of handling. The typical signals capable of being switched are:
• Analog Video
• Analog Audio (stereo with left and right channels).
• Digital Video
• Digital Audio (dual channel – stereo pair)
• High Definition Video.
Some systems may be configured with one signal level, while others may be configured
with multiple signal levels.
While the diagram in the previous section shows only one signal level, a multi-signal level
system is capable of routing any combination up to 32 levels – each with its own matrix
and cross-points.
The figure below illustrates eight signal levels in a 10 X 10 matrix system.
Signal routers are typically much larger than a 10 X 10 matrix, depending on user needs.
Each signal level may also have different sizes of matrices and do not all need to be the
same size.

Hardware Installation
Initial Inspections
Check the contents of the shipment for completeness and possible transport damage.
If the contents are incomplete or damaged, contact Utah Scientific Inc immediately for
repairing or replacement parts of the equipment.
Before Applying Power
Verify that the product is configured to match the available main power source
per the input power configuration instructions provided in this manual.
The modules of the UTAH-100/UHD frame may only be installed in specific
positions. Interchanging power and function modules may harm the
UTAH-100/UHD frame permanently.
Service
Servicing, adjustments, maintenance or repair of this product may be performed by
qualified personnel only. Adjustments described in this manual may be performed with
power supplied to the product while protective covers are removed. Energy available at
many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury. Capacitors inside this product may
still be charged even when disconnected from their power source.

1-6 System Setup
System Setup
Initial Setup
1. Remove the chassis and inspect the unit carefully for damages that
may have occurred during transport.
2. Check that the frame is installed so the airflow though the unit is
unrestricted. No forced ventilation is required under normal
operating conditions.
3. Connect the external power cord to the corresponding power
connector on the rear side of the UTAH-100/UHD frame. Check that
the Power LED on the front panel is lit. Green LEDs indicate normal
operation, while Red LEDs indicate a failure condition. If a failure
occurs; potentially related to no power, inoperative fan, or
temperature range, please disconnect power and contact UTSCI
support for assistance.

This system is only capable of being controlled via MX Bus, as the internal controller option is
not available for this frame. When encoding an SC-4, 400 or 40 to utilize this frame, you must
first set the MX-BUS level of the router as described in the MX-Bus Based Systems section of
this manual.
