The Ross Video Ultrix 1RU 16x16 is a comprehensive signal management system designed for broadcast and live production environments that require compact, efficient, and scalable solutions. By combining video routing, multiviewer functionality, audio processing, and clean switching in a single 1RU chassis, the Ultrix 1RU offers exceptional flexibility and performance in space-constrained setups.

16x16 Video Routing: The Ultrix 1RU features a 16x16 video routing matrix, enabling users to manage a variety of video sources and destinations with ease. This configuration is ideal for medium-sized production environments, allowing for efficient routing of signals across different production areas, whether in a studio, control room, or mobile production unit.

2 AUX Outputs: In addition to its primary routing capabilities, the Ultrix 1RU includes 2 auxiliary outputs. These AUX outputs provide added flexibility for routing specific video signals to different locations, such as additional monitors, backup recorders, or other output devices. This feature enhances the versatility of the system, making it adaptable to a wide range of production scenarios.

Ultriscape Multiviewer: The integrated Ultriscape multiviewer allows operators to monitor multiple video feeds on a single display, significantly improving the efficiency of the production workflow. With one configurable head, users can customize the multiviewer layout to suit their specific monitoring needs, whether for live broadcast, sports production, or other high-demand environments.

Ultrimix Audio Processing: The Ultrix 1RU includes comprehensive audio processing features through the Ultrimix system, allowing for advanced audio embedding and de-embedding. Operators can easily manage audio channels, perform shuffling, adjust gain, and apply delay compensation, ensuring that audio signals are perfectly synchronized with the video, even in complex production setups.

UltriClean Clean Switching: UltriClean technology is designed to provide seamless and artifact-free switching between video sources. This clean switching capability is essential for live productions, where maintaining smooth transitions and high-quality output is critical. Whether switching between cameras, feeds, or graphic sources, UltriClean ensures that the audience experiences a flawless broadcast.

High-Speed Performance: The Ultrix 1RU is engineered for high-speed performance, ensuring that signal switching and processing are both quick and reliable. This speed is crucial for live productions where response times must be immediate, ensuring that the production flows smoothly without any interruptions or delays.

1RU Compact Design: Housed in a 1RU chassis, the Ultrix 1RU is designed to conserve space in your broadcast rack or mobile production unit. Despite its compact size, the system delivers a full suite of routing and processing features, making it a powerful solution for environments where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Scalable and Modular: The Ultrix platform is known for its scalability and modularity, allowing users to expand their system as production needs grow. Whether you need additional routing capacity, more advanced audio features, or enhanced multiviewer capabilities, the Ultrix 1RU can be easily upgraded and integrated with other Ultrix modules or Ross Video products.

Integrated Control Options: The Ultrix 1RU is fully compatible with Ross Video's Dashboard control system, providing a user-friendly interface for managing the system. Dashboard allows for intuitive configuration, real-time monitoring, and control of the Ultrix system, simplifying the setup process and ensuring that operators can manage their routing environment effectively.

Crosspoint Switching: The system’s non-blocking crosspoint switching ensures that all signal paths are available without interference or delay. This feature is critical for maintaining a reliable and efficient routing system, especially in environments where quick and accurate signal management is required.

Redundant Power Supply: For critical live production environments where uptime is essential, the Ultrix 1RU offers an optional redundant power supply. This redundancy ensures continuous operation, protecting against unexpected power failures and minimizing the risk of broadcast interruptions.
