KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 5 www.aja.com

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview

KUMO compact SDI routers are small and cost-effective, yet robust and reliable.

All KUMO routers support full-broadcast specifications over SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and

3G-SDI. A KUMO-12G router also supports single connector 12G-SDI. Additionally,

KUMO routers support SDI related protocols such as 270Mb/s DVB-ASI and Canon

3G-SDI RAW. KUMO routers are re-clocking, non-blocking, and ready for any

broadcast, production, or post production environment. Running Embedded

Linux, KUMO routers support powerful HTTP control and monitoring. Each KUMO

product contains an internal web server that allows immediate installation,

configuration, and operation without requiring additional software. It offers a

powerful user interface via any standard web browser. KUMO SDI routers are

available in five configurations:

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 6 www.aja.com

• KUMO 1604 - sixteen SDI inputs and four outputs

• KUMO 1616 - sixteen SDI inputs and sixteen outputs

• KUMO 1616-12G - supports single connector 12G-SDI, sixteen inputs and

sixteen outputs

• KUMO 3232 - thirty two SDI inputs and thirty two outputs

• KUMO 3232-12G - supports single connector 12G-SDI, thirty two inputs and

thirty two outputs

• KUMO 6464 - sixty four SDI inputs and sixty four outputs

• KUMO 6464-12G - supports single connector 12G-SDI, sixty four SDI inputs

and sixty four outputs

Because of their compact sizes, KUMO SDI routers are ideal for space-sensitive

applications such as mobile sports trucks, edit suites, corporate video

installations, or live theatrical A/V rigs.

KUMO Features

The KUMO routers offer the following features for ease of use in a broad range of

SDI applications and workflows:

• KUMO 1604, 1616, and 3232 support for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SD (SMPTE

259M/292M/424M)

• KUMO 1616-12G, 3232-12G, and 6464-12G support for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI,

6G-SDI and 12G-SDI (SMPTE-259/292/424/2081/2082)

• KUMO v3.0 and above firmware supports dual and quad mode routing,

allowing users to group together inputs and outputs for multiple cable

applications like Dual Link, Quad HD, Quad split monitors, and even 8K video.

• KUMO v4.3 and above firmware supports salvos, controlled from the KUMO

router Web UI and the KUMO CP2 panel.

• Automatic cable equalization and re-clocking

• Supports all embedded VANC and HANC ancillary information, including

embedded audio

• Reference via BNC, passive loop, PAL/NTSC color black or Tri-level sync

• Output switch timing per SMPTE RP 168 when using an external reference

• 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN

• Embedded Linux OS with internal web server for web browser control

• USB port for use with eMini-Setup for network configuration via USB.

• User authorization to restrict access via web browser

• Optional KUMO CP hardware 32 pushbutton remote control panel via

Ethernet

• Optional KUMO CP2 hardware 64 pushbutton remote control panel via

Ethernet

• 1RU form factor for 1604, 1616, and KUMO CP, 2RU for 3232 and KUMO CP2,

4RU for 6464

• Power loss recovery to the last operational state, both router and control

panel

• Redundant power supply (optional), isolated power inputs

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 7 www.aja.com

NOTE: KUMO routers switch SDI signals in a manner compliant with SMPTE RP168-2009.

Because KUMO routers (or any similar router) switch the SDI stream without de-

serializing, the switch point can cause a temporary anomaly in the SDI stream.

This can cause downstream equipment, depending on the characteristics of

the SDI receiver(s), to react to the switch (for example, a monitor “glitch or roll”).

It is also possible that switching anomalies can appear on just one or more

outputs in the same group in the Dual and Quad modes and in salvos. This effect

occurs regardless of the relative timing of the SDI signals being switched, or any

reference input connected to the router.

PS 1 & PS 2 Power Connectors

Power to the KUMO unit is supplied by an external power supply module that

accepts a 110-240VAC, 50/60Hz power input and supplies +12 VDC to KUMO via

connector PS1 or PS2. One power supply is provided, and it may be connected

to either of the two power connectors. An optional second power supply can

provide redundancy to help protect against outages.

IMPORTANT: The power connector has a latch, similar to an Ethernet connector. Depress

the latch (facing the outside edge of the KUMO device) before disconnecting the

power cable from the unit.

Power Loss Recovery

If KUMO experiences a loss of power, when power is restored the router returns

to the previous state of all source to destination crosspoints, and all configured

source and destination names are retained. If a KUMO control panel configured

with a KUMO router loses power, when power is restored the control panel’s

configuration is retained, and button tallies will return to their previous states.

RJ-45 Ethernet Connector

The RJ-45 Ethernet connector allows you to connect KUMO to an Ethernet

10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN using CAT5 cable and access KUMO’s built in web

server. Multiple configurations are possible, including standalone control, a

local LAN, or a WAN. This also allows control over the network using GVG Native

Protocol.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 8 www.aja.com

ID and Reset

The ID (Identification) LED lights when you use the web interface to identify the

KUMO unit you are controlling. The Reset button (pinhole) below the LED allows a

safeboot reset of the unit as explained in "Safeboot Reset" on page 32.

REF BNC Connector

The REF BNC connector is the looping input for synchronizing the crosspoint

switch timing of KUMO to your house video signals. Apply an analog NTSC, PAL,

or Tri-level sync signal to this input. Be sure to terminate the second BNC with a 75

Ohm terminator, or if you loop to other equipment terminate the last connected

device.

When reference is present, KUMO will switch at the SMPTE RP168 designated

switch point with respect to the reference input. If no reference is present, the

KUMO will switch at random times.

Video Inputs and Outputs

Depending on your KUMO model, up to 64 SDI video inputs and outputs can be

connected to the video input and output BNC connectors.

Normal Mode

In Normal mode, BNC inputs and outputs have a one-to-one relationship with the

SDI signals being routed.

Dual and Quad Modes

In Dual mode, inputs and outputs use adjacent pairs of BNCs for each routed

signal. In Quad mode, four adjacent BNCs are used for each routed signal. See

"Mode Selection" on page 25.

RS-422 Connector

KUMO includes an RS-422 female DB-9 connector for making serial connections

to other equipment. This control connection enables interoperability with

other devices, including those that use GVG Native Protocol. See "RS-422 Control

Specifications (Routers)" on page 56 for more information.

Older Model RS-422 Adapter

Older KUMO 1604, 1616, and 3232 routers (serial numbers ending in -R0) needed

an RS-422 adapter for proper serial control operation (Figure 2) This adapter was

shipped with those older model routers. Be aware of this fact if your facility has a

mixture of older and newer KUMO routers that use RS-422 control.

NOTE: Only older KUMO 1604, 1616, and 3232 routers with a serial number ending in -R0

require this adapter. KUMO routers with serial numbers ending in -R1 or higher

do NOT require the adapter. This adapter is also NOT needed for any KUMO 6464

model router.

Figure 2. RS-422 Adapter

KUMO Control Panel Connections

Similar to the KUMO router, KUMO CP has an RJ-45 Ethernet connector and power

supply connectors, but has no BNC connectors and no RS-422 port.

KUMO Control and Monitoring

The KUMO router user-interface provides powerful remote setup, control, and

monitoring with:

• Zero-configuration Bonjour Protocol and support for UPnP networking

protocols

• Remote web browser control interface via Ethernet

• Optional KUMO CP (32 button) and KUMO CP2 (64 button) hardware control

panels, each unit able to control up to four KUMO routers

NOTE: The 32 button KUMO CP hardware Control Panel can be used with a KUMO

6464 router operating in Normal mode, but can only control the first 32 Inputs

and Outputs. The KUMO CP can be used to fully control a KUMO 6464 that

is operating in Dual or Quad mode. Control of KUMO routers in all modes is

available via the KUMO CP and CP2 button hardware panel, web browser,

Ethernet control, and RS-422.

• GVG Native Protocol built-in to allow serial or LAN interconnection (one

RS-422 or up to ten Ethernet) and interoperability with other equipment.

Specifically, KUMO can be controlled by the SMS 7000 portion of the GVG

Native Protocol. For details, refer to: "GVG Native Protocol Support" on page

55.

Default Network Settings

KUMO routers and control panels ship with DHCP enabled, making system

operation possible simply by connecting the KUMO device’s Ethernet cabling.

In addition, temporary default static IP addresses can be activated for initial

KUMO system configuration. See "KUMO Temporary Static IP Address" on page 14.

Chapter 2 – Installation

Overview

KUMO SDI routers are easy to set up and use. All of the steps for KUMO installation

and configuration are documented in this chapter, summarized as follows:

1. Install the chassis in an appropriate rack. If you are mounting multiple

KUMO units, try to place them visually in the same area so if you

communicate with them via a network attached computer, you can use the

KUMO’s Identify feature to flash the corresponding LED of the unit you’re

communicating with. Ensure you have an Ethernet cable routed to where

the KUMO will be placed.

2. Assemble the Ethernet network connections to a closed network or LAN

using Cat 5 Ethernet cable and any required switches and hubs.

3. Connect the KUMO to power, connecting the power cord to mains AC.

4. If necessary, congure device network settings for operation in your facility.

5. Cable the system SDI video source and destination equipment and

reference signals.

6. If operating with Dual Link or Quad Link signals, select the appropriate

KUMO operating mode.

Warning! Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug

Caution! To meet safety regulations for leakage current when using redundant

power supplies, connect the KUMO dual power supplies to separate branch circuits

What’s In The Box?

When you unpack your AJA KUMO SDI device, you’ll find the following

components:

• KUMO SDI router or KUMO control panel

• AC adapter and AC power cord

Please save all packaging for shipping KUMO should you wish to do so when

moving or sending it in for service.

KUMO Chassis Installation

Space Requirements

When planning equipment locations and mounting methods, take into account

the size of the chassis. KUMO devices are designed for EIA 19” equipment rack

mounting. See "Appendix A Specifications" for exact dimensions of each router

model.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 12 www.aja.com

Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the router chassis. Ensure

that SDI video cable connectors will not be stressed and that cables are not bent

or crimped in the process.

Cooling Requirements

When rack mounting or stacking multiple KUMO chassis, ensure there is adequate

airspace for cooling around the KUMO units. Note the location of cooling vents on

all equipment next to the KUMO and ensure none are obstructed.

Power Requirements

• Input Voltage: 110-240VAC, 50/60Hz

• Optional redundant power supply

Caution! KUMO is designed to take advantage of its chassis to aid in cooling. It is

common and expected for the densely populated chassis to have a warm front

panel in normal, active operating conditions.

Warning! Do not open the chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Opening the chassis will void the warranty unless performed by an AJA service

center or licensed facility. Remove the brick power supply AC line cord(s) from

mains power when moving the unit

Physical Equipment Setup

1. Connect power supplies (1 or 2 for redundancy) to KUMO routers and

control panels.

IMPORTANT: The power connector has a latch, similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet connector.

Depress the latch (facing the outside edge of the KUMO device) before

disconnecting the power cable from the unit.

1. Connect source and destination SDI equipment (this step can be deferred).

2. Connect network:

• Direct Connection: connect a KUMO router to a KUMO CP (if used), or to a

Mac or PC, via an Ethernet Cable.

• LAN Connection: connect a KUMO router (and a KUMO CP if used) to a hub

or switch and connect a PC or Mac to the same LAN via a hub or switch.

NOTE: KUMO devices are compatible with both Cat 5 straight-through and cross-over

Ethernet cables—they automatically detect whichever is used.

3. Proceed to your desired network conguration method using one of the

procedures presented later in the chapter.

Quick Start Configuration

Default Auto Configure KUMO Router and Control Panel

If you purchased a KUMO control panel along with a KUMO router, the easiest

way to get your system operating is to simply direct connect them with a single

Ethernet cable and power up both units.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 13 www.aja.com

NOTE: The KUMO 6464 router in Normal mode (64 sources and destinations) can be fully

controlled with the newer KUMO CP2. The original 32 button KUMO CP hardware

Control Panel can fully control a KUMO 6464 router operating in Dual or Quad

mode. A 32 button KUMO CP can control first 32 Inputs and Outputs of a KUMO

6464 router operating in Normal mode.

KUMO devices are compatible with both Cat 5 straight-through and cross-over

Ethernet cables. The KUMO CP will use an Auto Configure function to set itself up

to operate with the KUMO router it is directly connected to. The KUMO CP panel

buttons will light and, if SDI BNC connections have been made, you will be able to

route sources to destinations.

The KUMO CP Auto Configure assigns Router Select Button 1 to the attached

router.

NOTE: A KUMO CP that has had its network settings configured previously will not use

automatic configuration to find a directly connected KUMO router. However, you

can force the KUMO CP to enter into Auto Configuration Mode by pressing the

RTR 1 and SHIFT DEST buttons simultaneously for four seconds.

DHCP on an Existing Network

Another easy way to get your KUMO system operating is to connect KUMO

routers to an existing network configured with a DHCP server. When the units

reset during power up, they will see the DHCP server and automatically be given

compatible IP network settings. If auto discovery is configured on a computer on

that network, that computer will be able to find and control the KUMO router via

a web browser (see below).

Computer Auto Discovery

Computers can support network auto discovery, which makes the network

configuration process easy. Two methods of connecting using this technique are

described below.

Older macOS Configuration with Safari Browser Using Bonjour

MacOS Safari browser versions 10 and earlier have Bonjour functionality built-in,

which can be used to auto-detect and connect to an Ethernet device like a KUMO

Router.

NOTE: Apple removed Bonjour support from Safari versions 11 and higher.

To find a KUMO router using Bonjour on a supported version of Safari:

1. Ensure the KUMO to be controlled is powered up and connected via

Ethernet (directly to a Mac or via LAN).

2. Start Safari browser on a Mac.

3. Click on the top menu Bookmark->Bonjour->Webpages drop-down and

click on a listed AJA KUMO router or control panel.

NOTE: If Bonjour is not visible in the Bookmark drop-down, go to Safari->Preferences-

>Advanced and check the “Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu” checkbox.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 14 www.aja.com

4. Safari will display the KUMO web user-interface, which you can use to

control and congure that KUMO device.

Windows PC Configuration using UPnP

If your Windows PC supports UPnP protocols (most do) and UPnP network

discovery service is enabled (refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation),

you can control KUMO routers by simply selecting one from a device list:

1. Ensure the KUMO to be controlled is powered up and connected via

Ethernet (directly to the PC or via LAN).

2. Use your Windows Control Panel or File Explorer to go to Computer-

>Network.

3. Look at the list under “Other Devices”—double click a KUMO’s name to

launch your Windows PC’s default browser.

4. The browser will display the KUMO web user-interface, which you can use to

control and congure that KUMO device.

Network Configuration via USB

KUMO devices equipped with USB ports can configured for network operation

using AJA's eMini-Setup utility program. The general procedure is:

1. Acquire eMini-Setup from the AJA website and install the eMini-Setup

application onto a computer.

2. Connect the KUMO to that computer’s USB port.

3. Launch the eMini-Setup application.

4. Go to the Network tab where the IP address settings are displayed. You can

use the existing DHCP assigned IP address, or it can be changed manually.

See "Chapter 5 eMini-Setup" on page 41 for additional information.

KUMO Temporary Static IP Address

KUMO devices also offer a factory default static IP address, allowing a direct and

fail-safe way to connect via a computer connected to KUMO either directly or via

a LAN connection. The computer you use will need to be set to a static IP address

that is compatible with the KUMO temporary IP address. Once connected, the

KUMO device’s network settings can be reconfigured to work with your facility

network. The KUMO default static IP address is temporary and is intended only to

allow an initial connection.

NOTE: All KUMO routers and control panels have the same temporary static IP address,

so more than one device set to this default cannot reside on the same network

simultaneously. Work with only one device at a time.

NOTE: The default static address is temporary and will be disabled the next time KUMO

restarts. Any changes in the Network configuration will be saved upon restart.

To set KUMO to its temporary static IP address:

1. Power up the KUMO device and wait for it to boot normally.

2. Set the KUMO device to its static IP address:

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 15 www.aja.com

• For a KUMO router, insert a straightened paper clip or similar device into the

reset slot on the rear and hold for five seconds and then release. The KUMO

will restart with the default IP. When the KUMO router default IP is set the

Identify LED will blink.

• For a KUMO CP/CP2, press and hold the two SHIFT buttons on the panel

for five seconds and then release. When the KUMO CP default IP is set, the

Source and Destination buttons will flash alternately.

NOTE: If a KUMO webpage on a computer is open when that KUMO device is reset, the

information displayed on the webpage is not updated automatically.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to record your computer’s existing TCP-IP settings before the

next step so that you can return the computer to normal operation after this

procedure.

3. Congure your computer to 192.168.101.X. Do not use .1 at the end of the

address to avoid duplicate IP addresses.

4. Start a web browser and enter 192.168.101.1 as the web address. This is the

KUMO temporary static IP address.

5. Once you’ve connected using the static IP, you can then enter a desired

network conguration using the KUMO device’s Network tab.

Network Configuration In Depth

A LAN is a shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via

a hub or digital switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by software

or hardware routers. Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an

outside wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. Devices on a LAN have IP

addresses which may be fixed and permanent, or dynamically assigned by the

network (DHCP with DNS server).

NOTE: Once connected and properly configured, the KUMO router can then be

controlled by a web browser or one or more KUMO CP control panels. KUMO and

KUMO CP are equipped with zeroconf (Bonjour) and support UPnP networking

protocols but initially start up as DHCP active devices. If you are operating on a

DHCP server, KUMO will take an assigned IP address and appear on the network.

Caution! When attaching KUMO to a standard static IP LAN, you must configure

KUMO components with a new, unique IP address. You should first talk to your

network administrator and find out how it should be connected (TCP/IP Static IP

or DHCP). Your IT department will be able to supply the information you need to

install KUMO on a LAN.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.6 16 www.aja.com

KUMO uses TCP-IP network communications and Ethernet connections (a

10/100/1000 Ethernet port) for crosspoint control, status monitoring, and

software updates. KUMO devices have an internal HTTP web server that works

with a standard web browser on a Mac or PC. An Ethernet cable can also be used

to connect an optional KUMO CP (control panel) directly to a KUMO router for

operation without a computer.

KUMO devices are compatible with both Cat 5 straight-through and cross-over

Ethernet cables—they automatically detect whichever is used.

KUMO’s internal HTTP networking software supports three levels of network

control:

• Closed KUMO network – uses Default Auto Configure (KUMO CP), or Bonjour

(Mac or PC).

• Auto Configured LAN – employs a Bonjour or UPnP enabled computer/

browser to automatically connect devices and allows KUMO web browser User

Interface (UI).

• Standard TCP-IP network – employs DHCP or Static IP addressing and allows

the KUMO web-based UI and an unlimited number of KUMO routers and up to

32 KUMO CP control points.

The following web browsers have been tested and approved for use with KUMO

(Bonjour capability is recommended):

• Firefox - latest version on all platforms

• Safari - latest version on Mac and Windows

• Internet Explorer - version 10 and higher on Windows

• Chrome - latest version on all platforms (Bonjour is supported)

Once connected, you can use a web browser to:

• Configure any TCP/IP settings

• Select and name KUMO routers and control panels

• Assign a KUMO panel to be able to control specific KUMO routers

• Name sources and destinations

• Make Source to Destination assignments (signal routing)

• Change router operating mode (Normal, Dual Mode, Quad Mode)

• Set a variety of operational and monitoring options

LAN Connection Using a Hub or Switch

In a LAN connection, connect one or more KUMO routers to your LAN or closed

network using Cat 5 Ethernet cable and an Ethernet hub or switch; then power up

the equipment.

Setup and Control Methods

Regardless of direct connection or LAN connection, KUMOs are controlled

over a network by connecting to KUMO’s internal web server with a standard

web browser on a Mac or PC. To do this you first need to establish a network

connection between the computer and the KUMO to be controlled. There are

various methods supported for doing this depending on the operating system

and/or web browser being used.

When using KUMO in a DHCP or Static IP addressed network, it is best to select

and maintain a consistent network scheme. If you use a mix of DHCP and Static

IP addresses, inconsistent performance can result. The most stable operation is

achieved when all IP addressing is either DHCP or Static

Setup and Control from a Browser on macOS

Safari Browser: Type in KUMO Static IP Address

KUMO offers a factory default static IP address. The default static IP address

is temporary and is intended only to allow an initial connection. Once you’ve

connected using the static IP, you can then enter a desired network configuration

using KUMO’s Network tab.

NOTE: The default static address is temporary and will be disabled the next time KUMO

restarts. Any changes in the Network configuration will be saved upon restart.

1. Set the KUMO to its factory default IP address. See "KUMO Temporary Static

IP Address" on page 14 for this procedure.

2. Congure your computer to communicate on the 192.168.101.X subnet as

shown below:

IMPORTANT: First record existing TCP-IP settings so that you can return your computer to

normal operation after this procedure.

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

C. Click Apply.

3. Ensure the KUMO device to be controlled is connected to the Mac via

Ethernet (directly or via LAN).

4. Start Safari and enter 192.168.101.1 as the web address. This is the KUMO

temporary static IP address.

5. Once you’ve connected to KUMO’s web interface, recongure KUMO’s

network parameters as desired using the KUMO device’s Network tab.

6. Restore your computer to its normal network settings using this procedure

and the IP addresses you recorded earlier.

Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows

The easiest methods of setting up a controlling a KUMO device from a PC running

Windows are:

• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows using UPnP

• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows using a Static IP Address

Windows: Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

This method was covered earlier in this chapter.

See "Windows PC Configuration using UPnP" on page 14.

Windows Browser: Type in KUMO Static IP Address

KUMO offers a factory default static IP address. The default static IP address

is temporary and is intended only to allow an initial connection. Once you’ve

connected using the static IP, you can then enter a desired network configuration

using KUMO’s Network tab.

NOTE: The default static address is temporary and will be disabled the next time KUMO

restarts. Any actual changes made to KUMO's Network configuration will be

saved and used upon restart.

1. Set the KUMO to its factory default IP address. See "KUMO Temporary Static

IP Address" on page 14 for this procedure.

2. Congure your computer to 192.168.101.X as shown below (this example is

for a PC running Windows 7 connected directly to KUMO, other Windows

versions use similar procedures):

A. Use Control Panel to access your Local Area Network properties. In Windows

7 the path is:

• Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center

B. Then, under “Connections” click on the Local Area Connection for the PC’s

NOTE: The 32 button KUMO CP hardware Control Panel cannot be used with a KUMO

6464 router operating in Normal mode (only 32 buttons for 64 sources and

destinations). However the KUMO CP can be used when the KUMO 6464 is

operating in Dual or Quad mode. Control of the KUMO 6464 router in all modes

is available via the KUMO CP2 64 button hardware panel, web browser, Ethernet

control, and RS-422.

If the KUMO will be attached to a WAN, talk to your IT administrator and obtain

the details on how to configure the KUMO (DHCP or static IP).

TCP-IP Network Connection

KUMO supports traditional TCP-IP networking through DHCP or Static IP

addressing.

IMPORTANT: When using KUMO in a DHCP or Static IP addressed network, it is best to

select and maintain a consistent network scheme. If a mixture of DHCP and

Static IP addresses are used, inconsistent performance can result. The most stable

operation is achieved when all IP addressing is either DHCP or Static.

Default DHCP Configuration

DHCP is the default initial configuration routine for KUMO devices. If you start

up on a DHCP network, KUMO will accept assigned IP addresses. After DHCP

initialization, use your zeroconf browser to view the KUMO web page and view

the assigned IP address.
