The Ross Video Ultrix 1RU Frame with 16x16 routing and 2 auxiliary outputs is an advanced, all-in-one signal routing and processing solution designed for demanding broadcast and production environments. Despite its compact 1RU size, the Ultrix system is packed with features that provide exceptional versatility and power, making it ideal for installations where space and performance are at a premium.

The 16x16 routing matrix, paired with 2 additional AUX outputs, allows for flexible signal management across various sources and destinations. This flexibility is crucial in complex production setups, where different video and audio signals need to be routed quickly and efficiently. The integrated Ultrimix feature enhances this capability by providing built-in audio mixing, which negates the need for external audio mixers. This not only simplifies the signal chain but also reduces the overall equipment footprint.

Ultriclean, another standout feature of this system, ensures that all video switching occurs without glitches or disruptions. This is particularly important in live production environments, where seamless transitions are critical for maintaining a professional broadcast standard. Whether you're switching between camera feeds, playback sources, or other video inputs, Ultriclean ensures that the transitions are smooth and imperceptible to the audience.

The Ultrix 1RU Frame supports a wide range of signal formats, including SDI, HDMI, and IP, making it a versatile choice for modern production facilities. Its multi-format support is complemented by advanced signal processing capabilities, such as frame synchronization, audio embedding/de-embedding, and video processing. These features allow for easy integration of various signal types, ensuring that your production workflows remain smooth and efficient.

One of the key advantages of the Ultrix system is its scalability. The modular architecture of the Ultrix platform means that it can be easily upgraded as your production needs grow. Whether you need more inputs and outputs, enhanced processing power, or additional features, the Ultrix system can be expanded to meet your requirements without requiring a complete overhaul of your existing setup.

Control and monitoring of the Ultrix system are made easy through its user-friendly web-based interface. This interface allows operators to configure routing paths, monitor signal status, and manage system settings from any device with a web browser. This ease of use reduces the learning curve and ensures that operators can quickly adapt to the system, even in high-pressure live production environments.

The Ultrix 1RU Frame also includes a redundant power supply, which is essential for ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical applications. This redundancy provides peace of mind, knowing that your signal routing and processing will remain operational even in the event of a power failure.
