Know before you buy
Yes, it supports 8K workflows through a process called gang-routing. By grouping multiple ports together, you can route high-bandwidth 8K signals across the device.
No, it features an embedded web server that allows you to manage routing and configurations directly through any standard web browser. You can also use the USB port for quick initial network setup.
Yes, the unit allows you to save up to eight different routing configurations. This is particularly useful for switching between different production setups or studio workflows quickly.
The KUMO 3232-12G supports an optional redundant power supply. If you add this second power source, the unit will automatically switch over to maintain uptime if the primary supply fails.
Yes, it is fully compatible with AJA KUMO Control Panels. These can be connected via your network to provide tactile, physical control over your routing matrix.
Yes, the device features auto re-clocking. It automatically detects and re-clocks the incoming signal to ensure high signal integrity across various SDI rates up to 11.880 Gbps.
