Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
KUMO compact SDI routers are small and cost-effective, yet robust and reliable. KUMO
supports full-broadcast specifications over SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI. Additionally, KUMO
routers support SDI related protocols such as 270mb 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. KUMO contains an internal webserver 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 three configurations:
• KUMO 1604 - up to sixteen SDI inputs and four outputs
• KUMO 1616 - up to sixteen SDI inputs and sixteen outputs
• KUMO 3232 - up to thirty-two SDI inputs and thirty-two outputs
KUMO also supports dual and quad port switching modes which simplify multi port SDI
signals such as "dual link" and 4K "quad-link", or switching 2 or 4 sources at once for any
reason.
Because of their compact 1RU and 2 RU sizes, KUMO SDI routers are ideal for spacesensitive applications such as mobile sports trucks, edit suites, corporate video
installations, or live theatrical A/V rigs.

P/S 1 & P/S 2 Power Connectors
Figure 1. KUMO Rear Panel Connections (3232 shown, other models similar)
Power to the KUMO unit is supplied by a power supply brick that accepts a 110-220VAC,
50/60Hz power input and supplies +12 VDC to KUMO via connector PS/1 or PS2. Only
one power supply is required and may be connected to either of the two power
connectors. An optional second power supply provides power redundancy to help
protect against outages. For additional protection, connect the two supplies to different
AC branch circuits so that KUMO will remain on even if there is a failure or open circuit
breaker on one branch.

RJ45 Ethernet Connector
The RJ45 Ethernet connector allows you to connect KUMO to an Ethernet 10/100/1000
Ethernet LAN using CAT5 cable as explained in the section that follows. Multiple
configurations are possible, including standalone control, a local LAN, or a WAN.
ID and Reset The ID 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 Chapter 3:
“Safeboot Reset” on page 41.
REF BNC connector The REF BNC connector is the looping input for synchronizing the switching timing of
KUMO to your house video signals. Apply an analog NTSC, PAL, or Tri-level sync signal to
this input. Also be sure to connect a terminator to the second connector, or if you loop
from that connector to other equipment, be sure to terminate the connection at the
other equipment.
When reference is present, Kumo will switch in vertical interval with respect to the
reference input. If no reference is present, the Kumo will switch at random times.

NOTE: Only KUMO routers with a serial number ending in -R0 require this adapter. KUMO routers
Older KUMO routers (serial numbers ending in -R0) needed an RS-422 adapter for proper
serial control operation. 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.

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 push-button remote KUMO CP control panel for control of up to four KUMO
routers
• 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 49. Also refer to Grass Valley documentation at:
http://www.grassvalley.jp/pdf/RoutingProductsProtocolManual_2.pdf
Network Configuration Overview
KUMO’s internal HTTP networking software supports three levels of network control:
• Closed KUMO network – uses Bonjour
• 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 16 KUMO CP
control panels.
Direct Connection In a direct connection, the control computer (Mac /PC) or a KUMO CP control panel
connects to a KUMO router using an Ethernet cable (cat 5) between the RJ45 connectors
on both devices.

Chapter 2: Installation
Introduction
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, configure 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 or 4K 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 router, you’ll find the following components:
• KUMO Chassis or KUMO CP option
• AC adapter and AC power cord
• The manual you’re reading (on CD)
Please save all packaging for shipping KUMO should you wish to do so when moving or

KUMO Chassis Installation
Where to Place KUMO
Physical Requirements
Router Dimensions: • 1 RU Height – 1.75” (4.45 cm); Depth – 1.5” (3.81 cm); Width – 19” (48.3 cm)
Power Requirements
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.
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.
When planning equipment locations and mounting methods, take into account the size
of the router chassis:
• 2 RU Height – 3.47” (8.814 cm); Depth – 1.543” (3.92 cm): Width – 19” (48.3 cm)
• Input Voltage: 110-220VAC, 50/60Hz to 12 VDC brick converter supply (fully redundant
with optional second brick supply; AJA recommends AJA p/n 103147-00)
• Power Consumption: KUMO 1604 = 9 Watts; KUMO 1616 = 20 Watts; KUMO 3232 = 26.4
Watts
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
Before setting up the KUMO router(s) and KUMO CP panels, ensure you’ve got all
equipment interconnected:
1. Connect power supplies (1 or 2 for redundancy) to KUMO routers and control panels.
2. Connect source and destination SDI equipment (this step can be deferred).
3. 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.
4. Proceed to your desired network configuration method using one of the procedures
presented later in the chapter.
Quick Start Configuration
Default Auto Configure KUMO Router and CP
Some simple methods of quickly configuring your KUMO system for fast operation are
presented here. More detailed descriptions are presented later in this manual. We
strongly recommend that you read the full KUMO Manual to get the most out of your
system.
If you purchased a KUMO CP along with your KUMO router, the easiest way to get your
system operating is to simply directly connect them with a single Ethernet cable and
power up both units. 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.
Figure 6. KUMO Router Direct Connection to KUMO CP
A KUMO CP that has had its network settings configured previously will not
automatically find a directly connected KUMO router in this manner.
The Reset “Auto Configure control on the KUMO CP’s Configuration webpage can be
used to restore this capability. See
“Configuration Page” on page 46.
DHCP on an Existing Network
KUMO v3.1 www.aja.com
Another easy way to get your KUMO system operating is to connect the KUMO Router
and KUMO CP 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 these are the only KUMO devices on the network, the
KUMO CP should be able to control the KUMO router. In addition, 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).

Stand-alone KUMO operation described above works fine for some simple applications,
but you will probably want to be able to operate your KUMO system with a computer,
using a web browser UI, and have the KUMO reside on an existing network to permit
control from different locations. AJA software updates, selecting operating modes, and
choosing some other settings will also require a computer connection.
Computers can support network auto discovery, which makes the network configuration
process easy. Two methods of connecting using this technique are described below.
The Mac OSX Safari browser has Bonjour built-in, which can be used to auto-detect and
connect to a KUMO router. To do so:
1. Start Safari browser on a Macintosh connected to the KUMO network—ensure KUMO
to be controlled is powered up and connected via Ethernet (directly or via LAN).
2. Click on the Bookmark icon (menu bar, far left) and select the Bonjour collection.
Bookmarks Collections section, and then check the “Include Bonjour” checkbox.
3. Double-click on the KUMO router or control panel in the Bookmarks pane.
-555 is the unit’s serial #.

Windows 7 PC
Configuration using
UPnP
If your Windows 7 PC supports UPnP protocols (most do) and UPnP service is enabled
(refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation), you can control KUMO routers by
simply selecting one from a device list:
1. Ensure KUMO to be controlled is powered up and connected via Ethernet (directly or
via LAN).
2. Use your Windows 7 Control Panel to go to Network and Internet.
3. Select View Network computers and devices.
Figure 8. Windows Network and Internet Screen
4. Look at the resulting device list under “Other Devices”—double click a KUMO’s name
to launch your Window 7 PC’s default browser.
KUMO Temporary Static IP Address
Figure 9. Windows Network Screen
5. The browser will display the KUMO web user-interface, which you can use to control
and configure that KUMO device.
Other methods of KUMO network connection and configuration are described later in
this chapter.
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
KUMO v3.1 www.aja.com
16
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 default 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.
Table 2. KUMO Device Temporary Static IP Address Values
Device IP address Subnet Mask
KUMO Router and KUMO CP 192.168.101.1 255.255.255.0
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 default static IP address:
1. Power up KUMO device and wait for it to boot normally.
2. Reset the KUMO device:
• For a KUMO router, insert a straightened paper clip or similar device into the reset
slot on the rear—hold for six seconds and then allow KUMO to restart. When the
KUMO router default IP is set, the Identify LED will blink.
• For a KUMO CP, press and hold the two SHIFT buttons on the panel for 5 seconds.
When the KUMO CP default IP is set, the Source and Destination buttons will flash
alternately.
Figure 10. KUMO Reset Slot Location
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. Configure your computer to 192.168.101.X. Do not use .1 at the end of the address to
avoid duplicate IP addresses.
NOTE: Specific network reconfiguration procedures for Mac and PC are presented later in this
chapter.
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
configuration using the KUMO device's Network tab.

Network Configuration Overview
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, KUMO 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 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 webserver 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 16 KUMO CP
control panels.
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 MAC and Windows
• IE 7/8 - latest versions Windows
• Chrome - latest version on all platforms (Bonjour is supported, but DNSSD as a
discovery tool is not available for Chrome)
Bonjour software is built into Apple Macs with OS X from version 10.2 onward and can be
installed onto Windows PC computers. Bonjour for Windows adds zero-configuration
capabilities to Internet Explorer and (with the DNSSD plug-in) to Firefox.
Once connected, you can use a web browser to:
• Configure any TCP/IP settings
KUMO v3.1 www.aja.com
18
• 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 (SDI, 2K, 4K)
• Set a variety of operational and monitoring options
Direct Connection In a direct connection, you simply connect the control computer (Mac /PC) or a KUMO CP
control panel to a KUMO router using an Ethernet cable (cat 5) between the RJ45
connectors on both devices.
Figure 11. KUMO Direct Connection to Mac/PC Web Browser or KUMO CP to KUMO
LAN Connection Using a Hub or Switch
The KUMO CP Auto Configure assigns Router Select Button 1 to the attached router.
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 webserver 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. Choose
one of the following quick-start procedures that best fits your environment; each
procedure is presented in step-by-step form later on these pages.
Mac OSX:
• Setup and Control from a Safari Browser on Mac OSX using Bonjour
• Setup and Control from a Browser on Mac OSX using a Static IP Address
Windows 7:
• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows 7 using UPnP
• Setup and Control from a Firefox Browser on Windows 7 using Bonjour
• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows 7 using a Static IP Address
Windows XP:
• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows XP using UPnP
• Setup and Control from a Firefox Browser on Windows XP using Bonjour
• Setup and Control from a Browser on Windows XP using a Static IP Address
All of the above methods are explained on the following pages. Select the method that
works the best for you and your environment.
