Utah Scientific Announces NBOSS

Utah Scientific has announced NBOSS, a new software-based control solution designed to streamline the management of NMOS-compliant devices in hybrid SDI/IP environments.

Designed for use in broadcast, production, post-production, and pro-AV settings, NBOSS enhances workflow efficiency and reduces operational costs, empowering facilities to build hybrid SDI/IP infrastructures with greater ease and reliability while also expanding the utility of Utah Scientific's existing hardware.

The company's latest innovation in control systems, NBOSS addresses customer demand for a more integrated and cost-effective way to manage Utah Scientific's expanding product line, particularly the PassThrough Card and OnRamp devices. It allows users to control NMOS devices directly from Utah Scientific's SC4 Control System using a variety of interfaces, including hardware panels, Soft-LC panels, and Web-Panel. This marks a significant step forward in simplifying IP integration for facilities that rely on Utah Scientific's Series 2 routers. By offering native control functionality, NBOSS eliminates the need for expensive third-party broadcast controllers, which often fall short of meeting specific customer requirements.

Because of Utah Scientific's unique 10-year hardware warranty on routers, NBOSS can expand an existing Utah Scientific installation with future-proof hardware and software or can be purchased as part of a new system. It includes a full NMOS ecosystem that enables device inventory gathering via IS-04, configuration within the Ucon/SC4 system, and control of signal connections to NMOS-compliant devices. This includes support for one video flow, two audio flows, and one ancillary flow, providing a robust and flexible solution for modern broadcast and production environments. It makes switching 2110 signals as easy as switching SDI.

"With NBOSS, we're giving our customers a smarter, more streamlined way to manage NMOS devices within their new or existing Utah Scientific infrastructure," said Brett Benson, CEO of Utah Scientific. "NBOSS simplifies hybrid workflows, reduces reliance on third-party systems, and makes our Series 2 routers and OnRamp devices even more versatile. This isn’t just a new control tool — it’s a foundational step toward full IP domain integration."

Utah Scientific will unveil NBOSS at IBC in Amsterdam, Sept. 12-15. NBOSS will be available in Q4 2025, with pricing dependent on customer build requirements.
