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 space-
sensitive applications such as mobile sports trucks, edit suites, corporate video
installations, or live theatrical A/V rigs.

Quad split monitors, etc.
•Automaticequalization and re-clocking
• Supports all ancillary data, including embedded audio
• Reference via BNC, passive loop, PAL/NTSC color black or HD tri-sync
• 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN
• Embedded Linux OS with internal webserver for web browser control
• HTTP Control
• Optional pushbutton remote control panel via Ethernet

KUMO Connections
Figure 1. KUMO Rear Panel Connections (3232 shown, other models similar)
P/S 1 & P/S 2 Power
Connectors
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.
Video Inputs and
Outputs
Depending on your KUMO model, up to 32 SDI (SMPTE 259/292/296/424) video inputs
and outputs can be connected to the video input and output BNC connectors.
Normal mode In Normal mode, BNC inputs and outputs have a one-to-one relationship with the SDI
signals being routed.
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
RS-422 DB9
Connector
KUMO includes an RS-422 female DB9 connector for making serial connections to other
equipment. This control connection enables interoperability with other devices,
including those that use GVG Native Protocol.

Older Model RS-422
Adapter
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.
Figure 2. RS-422 Adapter
NOTE: Only KUMO routers with a serial number ending in -R0 require this adapter. KUMO routers
with serial numbers ending in -R1 do NOT require the adapter.
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.

LAN Connection
Using a Hub or
Switch
In a LAN connection, one or more KUMO routers, KUMO control panels, and web browser
equipped computers are connected to your LAN or closed network using Cat. 5 Ethernet
cable and an Ethernet hub or switch.

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 16.
