KUMO is a powerful signal control system that can fit into even the most space-constrained locations. With just 1RU or 2RU in height and less than 2" in depth, it offers flexible routing for SD, HD, and 3G SDI I/O via BNC and SMPTE. Its cross-point routing matrix allows for easy mapping of any input to any output, and signals can be sent to multiple outputs without the need for additional equipment.
Designed for critical broadcast, production, and post environments, KUMO is highly reliable with premium components and dual redundant power supplies. It runs on Embedded Linux and supports HTTP control and monitoring via a web browser, without the need for additional software. KUMO is easily integrated with existing infrastructure using industry-standard protocols and can be controlled from any location through its Ethernet network connectivity. The optional KUMO CP control panel allows for convenient control of up to four KUMO routers from a single location.
Powerful signal control
Just 1RU or 2RU high and less than 2" deep, KUMO fits in the most space-constrained locations, offering flexible routing with support for SD, HD and 3G SDI I/O via BNC and SMPTE.
The powerful cross-point routing matrix allows the mapping of any input to any output. Signals can also be sent to multiple outputs without the need for additional patch panels or distribution amplifiers.
Broadcast-standard reliability
Designed for critical broadcast, production and post environments, KUMO hardware uses premium components coupled with dual redundant power supplies to ensure uptime in the unlikely event of a power supply failure.
Simple installation and configuration
Running Embedded Linux, KUMO routers are network-ready and support powerful HTTP control and monitoring via a web browser - without the need for any additional software.
KUMOs auto-detect Bonjour/Zeroconf protocols mean that network configuration is automatic, just connect KUMO to your network or a computer and the system will self-configure, ready for use. Alternatively, standard network configuration allows access to each KUMO via its default IP address. Once connected to KUMO using a web browser, you can configure the full TCP/IP settings, select and name KUMO routers, name sources and destinations, and perform all operational functions.
KUMO routers are easily integrated with existing infrastructure utilizing the industry-standard Grass Valley Native Protocol over RS-422 or even Ethernet. Ethernet network connectivity also allows you to control all KUMO routers from any web browser on a network-connected device, ensuring you have the control you need from any location.
KUMO Control Panel
KUMO CP is an optional 1RU control panel that can be used in standalone or networked configurations.
Connecting via Ethernet to the same network as the KUMO routers, KUMO CP enables full control from any location without the need for a computer. Up to four KUMO routers can be controlled from a single control panel.
For standalone configurations with KUMO CP, all KUMO hardware units can be connected together directly using standard RJ45 cables or a switch, if required. KUMO software automatically assigns routers to control panel delegations so the system is ready for use immediately.
