New Additions Enhance Utah Scientific’s Hybrid SDI/IP Workflows While Expanding Control and Audio–Over–IP Interoperability for Broadcast and AV Customers
SALT LAKE CITY — March 9, 2026 — Utah Scientific today announced the expansion of its Technology Partner Program with the addition of Audinate, Bitfocus, and Skaarhoj, three industry leaders whose solutions significantly enhance hybrid SDI and IP workflows. These integrations build on Utah Scientific’s longstanding focus on interoperability, giving broadcasters, production facilities, and AV organizations more ways to incorporate emerging technologies while preserving the tools and workflows they rely on today.
“We are always looking for ways to help customers build hybrid systems that blend the best of SDI and IP,” said Brett Benson, CEO of Utah Scientific. “By integrating with innovative solutions from Audinate, Bitfocus, and Skaarhoj, we’re giving users more freedom in how they move audio and video, automate device control, and interact with our routing infrastructure. At the heart of every system are Utah Scientific products backed by our legendary 10–year warranty — and these new integrations make it even easier for organizations to streamline operations, reduce system complexity, and adapt their workflows as production demands evolve.”
Through its new relationship with Audinate, Utah Scientific is implementing native Dante audio I/O within its routers, eliminating the need for external MADI–to–Dante conversion and greatly supplementing IP audio routing for engineers. This enhancement aligns directly with the Dante–enabled mixers and consoles widely used in broadcast and AV environments, making it easier for facilities to move high–channel–count audio over Ethernet and streamline their transition toward more flexible IP–based audio workflows. “We are excited to welcome Utah Scientific into the Dante ecosystem. By integrating Dante’s AoIP technology into their hybrid SDI and IP workflows, broadcasters can now have a solid ‘best–of–both–worlds’ solution,” said Joshua Rush, CMO of Audinate.
Bitfocus introduces seamless interoperability with the company’s Buttons facility–wide control platform. As part of the Bitfocus Connections Program, Utah Scientific routers can now be switched and automated alongside other devices in a hybrid SDI/IP production environment. This enables facilities that rely on modern, flexible automation tools to incorporate Utah Scientific routing without custom engineering, proprietary interfaces, or workflow workarounds.
The addition of Skaarhoj expands Utah Scientific’s control surface options by enabling the Skaarhoj AirFly Pro to function as a streamlined and cost–effective desktop control alternative. This integration gives operators a compact, affordable desktop control surface that complements Utah Scientific’s existing control solutions, offering intuitive functionality and day–to–day operational efficiency in a familiar format. Says Kasper Skårhøj, CEO, founder, and chief designer, “We are proud to partner with Utah Scientific on their switching control platform. Their highly skilled engineering team has delivered a seamless integration with our flagship controller, Air Fly Pro, creating a truly native and intuitive control experience for users. This collaboration further strengthens our expanding partner ecosystem, and we are honored that Utah Scientific has selected our controller to power their application.”
Utah Scientific’s broader partner ecosystem further strengthens this hybrid approach, encompassing companies whose technologies complement Utah Scientific’s routing and master control platforms across IP, SDI, and fiber–based workflows. This ecosystem includes Apantac, whose multiviewers are widely used for production monitoring; Arista, whose switches anchor many large–scale ST 2110 deployments; Embrionix, whose 2110 processing, JPEG XS capabilities, and SFP–based conversion tools support critical IP transition paths; and Norwia, a long–time supplier of fiber–transport solutions for broadcasters.
NETGEAR also plays an important role in supporting ST 2110 buildouts. Its M4350 switch family provides an economical, readily available foundation for IP infrastructures, with the latest models offering grandmaster and boundary–clock functionality, redundant power options, and up to 100G bandwidth. NETGEAR’s Engage Controller software further simplifies deployment with AV–oriented configuration tools.
“Reliable networking is the backbone of every modern IP workflow, and that’s where NETGEAR adds real value,” said John Henkel, product marketing director at NETGEAR. “Partnering with a trusted leader like Utah Scientific allows us to deliver preconfigured solutions, simplify deployment, and provide the networking expertise many teams need. Together, we make the move to IP more accessible and dependable for customers across the industry.”
