Scott Barella has been appointed as chief technology officer (CTO) of Utah Scientific.

Mr Barella will work alongside the company's engineering team to manage the product roadmap, including the ongoing development of Utah Scientific's portfolio of routing and master control switchers. He will also be involved in the firm's involvement in AIMS (Alliance for IP Media Solutions).

Tom Harmon, president and CEO of Utah Scientific, said: "Scott has been involved in the broadcast industry since 1977, and I can't think of a stronger professional to help guide us in our product development. He brings a rich background in broadcast systems design and architecture, systems integration, and IT video operations, as well as foundational leadership in AIMS – all of which will help us propel our customers into the new frontier of uncompressed IP audio, video, and data."

"I am thrilled to join such a dedicated group as Team Utah Scientific," Barella said. "I don't know of any other company that is doing this much to help customers meet today's SDI video needs while paving the way for the IP-based, uncompressed operations that are just around the corner. With the new Foundation Series of advanced hybrid digital routers as well as the all-new UHD-12G digital routing switcher for single-link signal distribution, Utah Scientific continues to show incredible strength and breadth in SDI video technologies. I look forward to helping this company move forward toward the next generation of IP media solutions."

Barella will report directly to Mr Harmon and will be based in Centennial, Colorado.

Prior to joining Utah Scientific, Barella was CTO for 5280 Broadcast Inc., a systems integration firm specializing in new AIMS initiatives for moving clients from SDI coax to IP networks. He previously served six years as vice president of technology at LARCAN Inc., seven years as vice president of engineering with Burst Communications, and 22 years as chief engineer at a variety of television stations as well as at AT&T Broadband (now Comcast).
