Universal Routing Switcher from Vista Systems
Features of the Universal Routing Switcher

Vista URS: Format independent. Just like you.

The URS from Vista Systems is extremely versatile

Replace an entire rack of equipment—and a pile of headaches—with the Vista URS, the matrix switcher that routes and processes. URS handles any input-output combination of computer and video formats with ease, including analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, and high/low resolution. With built-in integrated source monitoring and sophisticated keying, URS accepts sources from analog composite to digital 4K and seamlessly routes them to any destination display. You won’t find any matrix switcher that can do that.

So get rid of your scalers, transcoders, interlacers and aspect-ratio converters. With Vista URS, you have all the conversion processing you need—and the routing to go with it.

One box. Endless combinations.

Unlike the standard matrix switcher, Vista URS performs all the processing to match the source to the output, including scaling, aspect ratio, color-space, and frame rate conversion. Taking signals from any format, URS then seamlessly routes, keys and layers the signal independently onto any output display.

Normally, these functions would require a multitude of ancillary gear and complex, restrictive control systems. But URS simplifies the entire process, saving you time, money and wear and tear.

To top it all off, URS includes built-in source monitoring, so you can keep an eye on all your inputs simultaneously in real time on a single output—nice and easy, just the way you like it.

Key Features

Universal Input-Output Capabilities—mix and match multiple formats with a single piece of equipment:

  • Input Capability Supported formats include analog formats ranging from Composite and S-Video to 4K, Digital (DVI) formats ranging from VGA to 4K, and SDI formats including SDI, HDSDI, and 3G.
  • Output Capability Supported formats include analog and Digital (DVI) formats ranging from VGA to 4K. All serial digital formats including SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G

Built-in conversion for analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate—seamlessly route any source to any user-configurable output. Define properties for each output independent of each signal.

Integrated Source Monitoring—real-time view of all 16 sources connected to URS inputs on a single output, tiled into a 4x4 array.

Overlay (Key) Capability—multiple inputs can be layered onto each output for a multitude of needs, including background/foreground transitions, pip windows, bugs, lower-third titling, tickers, messaging, sign windows and more.

Single point of control for all processing and signal distribution functions from front panel, PC via Ethernet, or external control system
