Overview

KUMO CP is a 1RU control panel that can be used in standalone or networked configurations suitable for all KUMO routers except the KUMO 6464. For KUMO 6464 please refer to the KUMO CP2. Connecting via Ethernet to the same network as 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. Supports ganged dual and quad port routing control, allowing users to group together multiple inputs and outputs for Dual Link, Quad Link 4K/UltraHD, and 8K/UltraHD2 workflows.

Features

  • 1RU Control Panel for KUMO SDI Routers
  • Small, portable form factor
  • Control up to 4x KUMOs per control panel
  • Supports ganged dual and quad port routing control
  • Redundant power supply (option)
  • Embedded web server for remote control
  • Configure IP Address via USB port and supplied AJA eMini-Setup software for PC/Mac
  • Five year warranty

Buttoned Up

The destination-oriented KUMO CP Control Panel offers plug-and-play control of AJA’s 1616 and 3232 compact routers.

KUMO CP features 40 buttons and enables selection of up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs on each of up to four KUMO routers in standalone mode or through a built-in GUI accessible from any web browser on the network.

This affordable control panel is only 1.3 inches deep, easy to install, and uses a Shift key to access more inputs and outputs than traditional 1RU control panels, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

KUMO Presets

This powerful feature saves current settings to 1 of 20 available Preset slots. Settings on the Configuration page are stored in the preset and any preset may be recalled at any time, returning the KUMO to the previously stored state. Items stored as part of a preset are:

1. Switching Mode
2. Crosspoint map
3. Source Button Settings: name, color, hidden/shown etc.
4. Destination Button Settings: name, color, hidden/shown etc.
5. Salvo configurations

Also included is the capability to deploy presets from one KUMO product to another. For example, the KUMO 6464-12G names can be deployed on a KUMO CP2 control panel UI configuration via the router preset.

 

Salvos for simple source to destination mapping

Salvos allow an operator to quickly route a predefined set of crosspoints, connecting specific sources to destinations, at the push of a button. Salvos are easily created by simply setting up the desired routes and saving it to a button in the KUMO router’s Web UI.

Up to eight salvos can be stored in a KUMO router and can be instantly recalled via the KUMO router’s Web UI, GVG Native Protocol over Ethernet, RS-422, and/or the AJA KUMO CP Salvo buttons.

Remote Router Control

While KUMO routers can be controlled via the built-in web UI, connecting a KUMO CP to the network provides a familiar, computer-free solution for router control for KUMO 1616 and KUMO 3232.

KUMO CP is easily recognized and understood by video engineers, tape operators and editors and provides a fast, tactile interface that can stand up to the rigors of daily use.

Redundant Power Supplies

Routing sits at the heart of your signal matrix needs, connecting one critical device to another.  To ensure maximum uptime in the unlikely event of a power supply failure, KUMO offers redundant power supply options that can failover with zero disruption to operations.

 

Multi-Router Configuration

Utilizing its Ethernet network connection, KUMO CP can communicate with up to four KUMO routers anywhere on the network. This allows you to locate control panels exactly where they are needed for maximum accessibility.

Simple Installation and Configuration

For standalone configurations with KUMO control panels, all KUMO routers can be connected together directly using standard RJ45 cables or a network switch, if required. KUMO software will automatically detect and assign routers to control panel delegations so your routing system is ready for use immediately.

In a network environment, the built-in web UI provides all the setup controls to create exactly the configuration you require.

Custom Button Labels

Customize KUMO CP and KUMO CP2 buttons exactly to your needs. Use text labels and colored inserts to identify various sources, destinations and routers for quick and easy operation. To get you started, you can download a lens chip template which can be color-printed and cut to create an insert for each button on the KUMO control panel.

Light-gauge paper or film will be illuminated by the button for easy identification even in the darkest machine room or edit suite.

 

Affordable

Whether you’re building a mobile truck, edit suites or an AV flypack, get the routing capabilities you need at a price that fits well within your budget. And KUMO routers are so affordable they can even be used in place of traditional DAs to distribute signals to multiple locations. KUMO routers provide an incredible price/performance ratio while still maintaining the highest quality standards.

Industry Leading Support

AJA’s technical support is recognized as among the best in the industry and is available to all AJA customers. If you need assistance with any aspect of your KUMO installation, configuration, operation, or encounter any technical issues, AJA Support will work with you to get up and running.
