The AJA KUMO-3232 is a compact, high-density video routing solution engineered for broadcast, production, and post-production facilities where space and signal integrity are paramount. Housed in a standard 2RU chassis, this router provides a substantial 32x32 matrix for 3G-SDI signals, allowing any of its 32 inputs to be connected to any of its 32 outputs with full 3G-SDI re-clocking and equalization on all ports. This capability makes it a central nervous system for managing video, audio, and data signals, enabling flexible distribution to monitors, recording devices, switchers, and transmission encoders. Its design is built around reliability and operational simplicity, featuring a robust internal architecture that ensures stable, broadcast-grade signal handling in a remarkably small form factor.

Control and configuration of the router are highly flexible, catering to both simple setups and complex, automated systems. The unit can be managed directly via its front-panel LCD menu and navigation controls, through a dedicated Ethernet-based software application for computer control, or integrated into large-scale facility control systems using supported protocols like Ember+ and SNMP. It supports advanced features such as macro creation for executing complex routing changes with a single command, GPI/O triggers for hardware-based control, and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies to guarantee uninterrupted operation in mission-critical broadcast environments. This combination of features allows it to serve as a dependable core router for mobile production trucks, edit suites, and on-air control rooms.

The router is designed for seamless integration into professional workflows. All inputs and outputs use standard BNC connectors, and the system automatically handles a wide range of SDI standards from standard definition up to 1080p60 and 4K/UltraHD (via Quad-SDI or 12G-SDI on supported models). Built-in signal processing includes continuous input cable equalization to compensate for long cable runs and output re-clocking to regenerate a clean, stable signal. By delivering high port density, operational resilience, and comprehensive control in a minimal rack footprint, the AJA KUMO-3232 provides a powerful and efficient infrastructure component for modern video facilities that require robust, scalable, and reliable signal management.
