Computers that used to require rooms full of racks now fit in your pocket…
Imagine if a large production system with routing, audio mixing, MultiViewers, trays of frame syncs and audio embedders – occupying multiple equipment racks – could fit into just 7RU. Imagine no more: it is available now, and we call it Ultrix Acuity.
The power of Ross Video’s flagship production switcher and the game-changing feature set of its flexible hybrid routing platform have been merged to create a complete, future-proof solution that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
Ultrix Acuity takes routing, audio mixing, MultiViewers, trays of frame syncs and audio embedders – all solutions that have traditionally filled multiple equipment racks – and compresses them all down to a single 5RU chassis.
Product Introduction:
Size Matter: Consolidate your Production Equipment
Ultrix Acuity: Hyperconverged Production
Acuity video switcher boards have been re-engineered to tightly integrate into the Ultrix router audio/video processing platform. This allows Acuity to access and feed Ultrix inputs and outputs and leverage Ultrix features such as Frame Syncs, MultiViewers, and audio processing. This offers the best of all worlds, within a frame that is much easier and simpler to install and maintain.
Ultrix Acuity provides up to four powerful Mix/Effects Banks, each with six keyers, split M/E architecture and programmable transition and key assignment capability. What’s more, these same resources are available whether you are working in HD or UHD. Never have to sacrifice significant resources because you are working in UHD rather than HD.
Ultrix Acuity offers a range of I/O boards that can be mixed and matched within the frame. Choose boards with HD-BNCs, RJ-45 connectors, even user-definable SFPs, and populate available slots in any combination. Learn more…
Ultrix Acuity provides a huge, independently-controllable routing matrix for embedded or MADI audio signals. The core system provides clean, quiet switching and embedding/de-embedding on every input and output. For even greater audio control, add the unique Ultrimix-MXR software-defined virtual audio mixer option. Learn more…
Ultrix Acuity provides an extensive array of control options, including Acuity Control Panels, Ultritouch 2RU and 4RU monitoring stations, and RCP router control panels. The system will fit seamlessly into an OverDrive production automation environment and is also fully supported by DashBoard, Ross Video’s command and control software application that allows for the creation of task-specific custom control panels.
The Software-Defined Production Engine at the heart of Ultrix Acuity allows easy upgrades and feature additions. Enable 12G operation, add user-configurable MultiViewers, Frame Syncs, 3D DVEs, or Ultrimix-MXR quickly and easily with available software licenses. Ultrix Acuity can even be merged into an enterprise-wide hybrid routing network using Ultricore-TLX.
From fully manual to advanced automation workflows, there’s a perfect control surface for the task.
The Ultrix FR5 frame has a total of 9 slots that can be populated.
Mix and Match to meet your unique requirements or leave slots empty for easy future upgrades. Please visit our Image Gallery to see some of the possible frame configurations. You can also use our online Frame Configuration tool to customize your own Ultrix Acuity and request a quote.

With Ultrix Acuity we merged our routing and switching platform to create a production solution that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
The first step is a consultation with a member of our sales team or one of our certified Ross resellers to discuss the specific needs of your organization. Next, we will look for a mutually convenient opportunity to coordinate a demo.
