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 seven configurations:
• 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 SDI inputs and
sixteen outputs
• KUMO 3232 - supports thirty-two SDI inputs and thirty-two outputs
• KUMO 3232-12G - supports single connector 12G-SDI, thirty-two SDI inputs
and thirty-two outputs
• KUMO 6464 - sixty-four SDI inputs and sixty-four outputs

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 6 [Link]

 

• 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 Sources and Destinations 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 coax cable equalization and re-clocking
• Supports all embedded VANC and HANC ancillary information, including
embedded audio
• Reference input 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 KUMO 1604, 1616, and KUMO CP, 2RU for 3232 and KUMO
CP2, 4RU for KUMO 6464
• Power loss recovery to the last operational state, both router and control
panel
• Redundant power supply (optional), isolated power inputs
• REST API interface
• Five year warranty
NOTE: KUMO routers switch SDI signals in a manner compliant with SMPTE RP 168-2009.
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.

PS1 & PS2 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.
NOTE: The KUMO 6464-12G router requires an 84W power supply (KUMO-84W-PWR).
All other KUMO routers and control panels can use a 60W power supply (KUMO-
PWR).
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 a 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.

Identify LED
The Identify LED lights when you use the web interface to identify the KUMO unit
you are controlling.

Reset Button
The Reset button (pinhole) below the LED allows a safeboot reset of the unit as
explained in "Safeboot Reset" on page 33.

REF BNC Connector

The REF BNC connector is the 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 RP 168 designated
switch point with respect to the reference input. If no reference is present, the
KUMO will switch based on its internal clock.

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, each input and output BNC routes an individual signal.

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 routers include a 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 49 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: KUMO routers with serial numbers ending in -R1 or higher do NOT require the
adapter, and KUMO 6464 models do NOT require the 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 Sources and
Destinations. The KUMO CP can be used to fully control a KUMO 6464 that 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.
• GVG Native Protocol built-in to allow serial or LAN interconnection (one
RS-422 or up to 32 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: "Safety & Compliance" on page 65.

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 15.

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, 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 Dual Link or Quad Link signals, select the appropriate
KUMO operating mode.

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
• USB adapter cable
• 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.
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.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 12 [Link]

 

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
• 60W or 84W AC adapter provided
• Optional redundant power supply

Physical Equipment Setup

1. Connect power supplies (1 or 2 for redundancy) to KUMO routers and
control panels.
NOTE: The KUMO 6464-12G router requires an 84W power supply (KUMO-84W-PWR).
All other KUMO routers and control panels can use a 60W power supply (KUMO-
PWR).
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 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 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.
Figure 3. KUMO Router Direct Connection to KUMO CP

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

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 13 [Link]

 

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

NOTE: KUMO devices are shipped from the factory with DHCP configured by default.
An easy way to get your new KUMO routers configured on your network is to
simply connect them to an existing network with a DHCP server. When the
KUMO devices reset during power up, each KUMO 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.
4. Safari will display the KUMO web user-interface, which you can use to
control and configure 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 configure that KUMO device.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 14 [Link]

 

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 USB port to that computer’s USB port with the supplied
USB cable.
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 42 for additional information.

KUMO Temporary Static IP Address

KUMO devices also offer a hardware initiated 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.

Table 1. KUMO Device Temporary Static IP Address Values

Device IP address Subnet Mask
KUMO Router and KUMO CP [Link] [Link]
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:
• 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 SHIFT SRC and SHIFT DEST
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. Configure 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 [Link] 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 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 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).

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 16 [Link]

 

• 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.
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 change that KUMO's IP address to one
compatible with your network, 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 15 for this procedure.
2. Configure your computer to communicate on the 192.168.101.X subnet as

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 changes in the Network configuration will be saved upon restart.
1. Set the KUMO to its factory default IP address, using the rear Reset button
(KUMO Router) or SHIFT Buttons (KUMO CP). See "KUMO Temporary Static IP
Address" on page 15 for this procedure.
2. Configure your computer's IP address and Subnet Mask using the standard
Windows IP configuration steps appropriate for your installed Windows
version.
IMPORTANT: Record your computer's existing TCP/IP settings. You will later need to
restore these original settings so that you can return your computer to normal
operation after this procedure.
• IP Address: 192.168.101.X (do not use .1 in the last octet)
• Subnet Mask: [Link]

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.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 20 [Link]

 

Static IP Configuration
If your IT administrator prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (called a “Static
IP), you will need to set network parameters using the KUMO UI NETWORK Screen
where you will enter:
• IP address type—Static IP
• a unique IP address
• the Netmask and Default Gateway IP address (your LAN’s router that does the
network's routing)
You will need to press the Enter key on the keyboard for every field changed.
Press the Update Network Settings button when all fields are complete.

You can hide selected Destinations from display on the HOME Screen by
activating the Hide box. This setting applies only to the local browser.

Lock
If you want to lock any of the Destinations from Source changes, activate the Lock
box for the desired Destination.
NOTE: This lock is a universal lock for all KUMO devices controlling the selected
Destination. It is tallied throughout the network and can be released from other
KUMO control devices on the network.

Long Cable (KUMO 6464-12G model only)

The KUMO 6464-12G router includes an additional SDI output setting to increase
interoperability with downstream equipment when short output cables are used.
The setting is available for each individual output. The default setting is L (for
long cable) and can be set to S (for short cable), which may improve performance
when the output cable is 10m or less of Belden 1694A or equivalent.
NOTE: Changing the router configuration operating mode (Normal, Dual, or Quad)
resets the KUMO 6464-12G Long Cable settings. These settings will need to be
manually re-configured to match the actual cable lengths used by each output
port in the new operating mode.

Reset to Factory Defaults

The "Reset to Factory Defaults" button can be used to return all router user
settings to factory defaults.

Salvos Configuration

Figure 21. KUMO Network Setup Screen

IMPORTANT: The KUMO Web UI does not automatically update its network data if
something other than that specific browser window is used to change that
KUMO's configuration.

Web Browser Refresh

The following actions can result in the display of inaccurate data in the web
browser:
• Using the factory reset button.
• Using eMini-Setup to change configuration over USB.
• Changing configuration from another browser, or even the same browser in a
different tab.
To workaround this problem, manually refresh the browser window to display the
latest network data.

User Authentication
This parameter enables or disables an authentication login requirement. By
default this parameter is set to Disabled.
When you select Login as the User Authentication choice, you then must set and
confirm a password. To save these settings select the Enable Authentication
button. You can change the password using the NETWORK Screen.
When User Authentication is set to Login, you are directed to the login screen
before you can access KUMO over the network. You are required to log in with a
password before you can access any other KUMO screens.
NOTE: If authentication is used, it provides only a minimum security safeguard against
unauthorized use. The authentication mechanism is simple and does not provide
robust security.

Password Reset
You can use a password reset procedure to set the KUMO device's password back
to the default value, allowing network access to the device if the password should
become lost or mistakenly changed. The default password is "password".
After resetting the password, the current KUMO authentication setting itself is not
changed. If authorization is enabled, after resetting the password you will need to
enter "password" (the default) to gain network access.

KUMO Router Password Reset

1. For a KUMO router, insert a straightened paper clip or similar device into the
reset slot on the rear, hold in for more than eight seconds and then release.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 30 [Link]

 

2. The Identify LED will blink, then light steadily, and then go out, indicating
the password has been reset to default.

KUMO Control Panel Password Reset

1. For a KUMO CP/CP2, press and hold the two SHIFT buttons on the panel for
more than eight seconds and then release.
2. The Panel Lock button will be colored red and then go out, indicating the
password has been reset to default.

UPnP Host
UPnP Host enables the KUMO to be discovered by a Windows network.
Selecting Enable (default) allows KUMO to be discovered by a Windows network.
Selecting Disable prevents Windows network discovery of the KUMO.

Firmware Updating
AJA is constantly upgrading its product software so it is a good idea to check
the AJA website often for updates and to assure optimum system performance.
Go to the AJA KUMO Update web page by clicking the link at the bottom of the
FIRMWARE Screen, or using the following link:
[Link]
Click on any of the KUMO products to go to its support tab.
Current firmware version number is reported here under the pull-down menu,
and the device’s serial number is listed at the bottom of the screen.
Figure 22. KUMO Web Interface, Firmware Upload Screen

Unpack the Software

Download the latest version of KUMO firmware and use the FIRMWARE Screen
to upload it to your KUMO router. KUMO software update files are “ZIP” files,
which you can open with a number of standard and third party uncompressor
applications. The software image that you’ll install on KUMO is a file with a name
similar to:
• kumo_ver_4.[Link]

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 31 [Link]

 

NOTE: Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the “.bin” extension
may not be visible to you in a file directory.

Uploading and Installing Firmware to KUMO

Uploading and installing the software update only requires a PC or Mac that can
“see” the KUMO via its browser. Follow this procedure to install the software:
1. Launch a browser on your PC or Mac and connect to the KUMO product that
requires a firmware update.
2. Once the KUMO web page is visible, click on the FIRMWARE tab.
3. Then click on the Choose File button to locate the KUMO firmware image
file on your PC or Mac.
Figure 23. KUMO Firmware Screen, Choose File for Firmware

4. When you have selected a valid KUMO firmware file, click Open and then
OK. The file you select will upload to the KUMO and be tested for validity.
Incomplete, corrupted, or non-KUMO software files are rejected.
5. When the upload completes you will be asked if you want to commit the
firmware to flash. Click Commit Uploaded Firmware. The firmware will be
loaded to flash. Wait for this to complete.
6. When done, click the Restart button to restart your KUMO and refresh the
web browser and KUMO UI.
Figure 24. KUMO Firmware Screen, Success and Restart

Once these steps are complete, the KUMO will be running the software you just
uploaded. The configuration of the KUMO prior to the upgrade is preserved.
Verify the new software is running by bringing up the KUMO web page again.
Check the Firmware page for the current version number. The restart and refresh
cycle may take a couple of minutes. If the firmware version does not display the
new version, perform the update steps again.

KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r5 32 [Link]

 

NOTE: On some browsers, the Retry page may appear even though the software
upgrade was successful. If this occurs, before clicking on retry, refresh the web
page and check the version number. If the new version number appears at the
top of the page, the software upgrade was successful. If the old version appears,
click Retry.
If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, the KUMO will
boot the older software version and the upgrade process can then be re-started
by the user. This happens because the KUMO has been designed with a safety
feature where an internal “safe” copy of the previous software is retained in the
event the updating process fails.

Safeboot Reset
If your KUMO firmware becomes corrupted to the point of freezing the device,
you can reset to a safeboot firmware image. The existing KUMO network
configuration (DHCP or Static IP) is retained during safeboot. When safeboot is
active you can then re-install the latest firmware via the web interface to regain
full system operation.
IMPORTANT: A KUMO device running safeboot firmware is not operational other than
being accessible on a network so compatible firmware can be installed.
To perform a KUMO safeboot:
1. Power down the KUMO device.
2. Engage the reset function:
• For a KUMO router, insert a straightened paper clip or similar device into the
reset slot on the rear.
• For a KUMO CP, press and hold both the SHIFT SRC and SHIFT DEST
buttons on the panel.
3. Apply power to the device, wait at least 5 seconds and then release the
reset function.

Chapter 4 – KUMO Remote Control Panels

Overview
The KUMO hardware panels are Destination-oriented control panels allowing
selection of Sources and Destinations on each of up to four KUMO routers. A
KUMO control panel will connect to a single KUMO router automatically without
computer/browser interface. For connection to up to four routers on a single CP,
use the KUMO browser interface to assign the router select buttons to any four
KUMO routers on your network.
Two KUMO hardware panels are available, the KUMO CP able to control up to 32
Sources and Destinations, and the KUMO CP2, able to control up to 64.
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 Sources and
Destinations. The KUMO CP can be used to fully control a KUMO 6464 that 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.

KUMO Control Panel Installation and Network Configuration

Refer to "Chapter 2 Installation" on page 12 for detailed information about
KUMO hardware control panel installation and network configuration.

Figure 31. KUMO CP Browser Configuration Screen

NOTE: If a KUMO webpage on a computer is open when that KUMO device is reset or
had its network configuration changed from another location (even if using a
different tab in the same browser), the information displayed on that original
webpage will not be updated automatically and so will display stale data.

BUTTONS Screen
The BUTTONS Screen lets you enable or disable the Source, Destination, and
Salvo buttons on a KUMO hardware control panel

Disabling Control Panel Buttons

The v4.1 and higher KUMO firmware includes a button disabling feature, useful to
uniquely configure the button operation of each KUMO CP/CP2 for specific work
areas and specific workflows.
NOTE: This feature is not a router Destination or Source lock. Takes can still be
performed on paths with disabled buttons, using the KUMO Web UI or another
KUMO control panel.
The current KUMO CP configuration is retained after a power cycle, including any
disabled Source or Destination buttons.
NOTE: Performing a KUMO CP factory reset clears the configuration. All Salvo, Source
and Destination buttons are enabled after a factory reset.

Procedure
1. Access the KUMO CP via its internal web page.
2. Click on the HOME tab and select one of the four routers.
3. Click on the BUTTONS tab and then click on the Source, Destination,

Overview
Introduced with v2.0 firmware, KUMO provides basic support for the GVG Native
Protocol, aka Series 7000 Native Protocol. GVG Native Protocol, using:
• 1 serial connection via RS-422 with a 9-pin connector
• TCP/Ethernet for up to 32 connections
For more information, refer to Grass Valley documentation at:
[Link]

KUMO GVG Native Protocol Button Naming

• Source and Destination button names defined in the KUMO Web UI must
be 8 characters or less. These 8 character names are used by KUMO’s Native
Protocol server.
• Button names more than 8 characters are truncated by KUMO’s Native
Protocol server.
• If the first 8 characters of a source or destination button name match, this is
considered a duplicate and KUMO will recognize only the first in the source or
destination list and ignore commands related to the next.
• The query reply string for any duplicate name is an empty string, “”, and no
error messages are generated by KUMO’s Native Protocol server.
• The second line of a button name is ignored by KUMO’s Native Protocol server.

NP Commands Supported
Background
• BK, I; Connect, heartbeat
• BK, N; Gets system name
• BK, T; Gets software title
• BK, t; Gets protocol software
• BK, R; Gets software version
• BK, d; Gets device name
• BK, F; Gets source, destination or salvo name changes
• BK, E; Sets or returns status of Level 4 Echo

• QN, S; Gets all srcs by name
• QN, IS; Gets all srcs, name & index
• QN, D; Gets all dests, names
• QN, ID; Gets all dests, name & indx
• QN, L; Gets levels (hard coded as “Kumo_Lev0”)
• QD, {destname}; Gets: protect {On/Off}, chop{=OFF}, {sourceName}, level{=
lev0}
• Qd, {destname}; Gets: protect {On/Off}, chop{=OFF}, {sourceName}, level{=

limitation copyright law. The AJA Software is licensed, not sold, to you. AJA and its
licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to you by this Agreement. You own
the media on which the AJA Software is recorded but AJA and/or AJA's licensor(s)
retain ownership of the AJA Software itself. You may not use the AJA Software for any
illegal purpose.
4. Transfer. You may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights
to the AJA Software to another person or entity, provided that: (a) you transfer

otherwise provided to you on a promotional or demonstration basis may be used only
for your demonstration, testing and evaluation purposes and may not be resold or
transferred; and (b) AJA may make available certain software components (“Add-On
Features”) under separate terms and conditions, in which case those separate terms
and conditions apply and the Add-On Features are not considered AJA Software
under this Agreement.
6. Termination. Your rights in the AJA Software are conditioned on complying with
this Agreement, and those rights (together with this Agreement) will terminate
automatically, without notice from AJA, if you fail to comply with any term(s) of this
Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, you must cease all use of the AJA
Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the AJA Software in your possession
or control.

price of the product containing the AJA Software or an update to or replacement of

the AJA Software (or applicable component of it). THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE AJA SOFTWARE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM
THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG A WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS,
AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY BY JURISDICTION.
8. Disclaimer of Other Warranties on Aja Software. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED
WARRANTY ON AJA SOFTWARE SET FORTH ABOVE, AJA AND AJA'S LICENSORS
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "AJA" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9)
HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE AJA
SOFTWARE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,
OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY,
AND OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. FURTHER, AJA DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY
REGARDING NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. SUBJECT ONLY TO THE
LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 7, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE AJA SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. AJA DOES NOT
WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE AJA SOFTWARE,
THAT THE AJA SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION
OF THE AJA SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS
IN THE AJA SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION
OR ADVICE GIVEN BY AJA OR AN AJA AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE WILL CREATE
A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER,
SO SOME OR ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
9. Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
AJA BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE AJA SOFTWARE, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE
THEORY OF LIABILITY (E.G., WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND
EVEN IF AJA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event
will AJA's total liability to you for all damages (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
BREACH OF WARRANTY) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing
limitations will apply even if the any remedy set forth in this agreement fails of
its essential purpose. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO SOME OR ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. Export Law Assurances. You may not use or otherwise export or reexport the AJA
Software except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the AJA Software was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the AJA
Software may not be exported or re-exported (a) into (or to a national or resident of)
any U.S. embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's
list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied
Persons List or Entity List or any similar legal designation. By using the AJA Software,
you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under control of, or a national
or resident of any such country or on any such list.

is a "Commercial Item", as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting
of "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software
Documentation", as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202 (or
their successors), as applicable. Consistent with these provisions, the AJA Software
is licensed to U.S. Government end users (a) only as a Commercial Item and (b) with
only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to this Agreement.
Unpublished-rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States.

Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which

13. Complete Agreement; Governing Language. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the AJA Software
licensed hereunder and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings
regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement
