AJA Compact 16x16 12G-SDI Router (KUMO 1616-12G) product description
Professional 12G-SDI Routing in a Compact 1RU Form Factor
The AJA KUMO 1616-12G provides robust signal routing for modern broadcast and post-production environments. Featuring 16x 12G-SDI inputs and 16x 12G-SDI outputs, this router supports high-resolution formats including 4K and UltraHD over a single cable. Its slim 1RU profile makes it an essential tool for space-constrained locations like mobile production trucks and compact edit suites.
Advanced 4K and 8K Workflow Support
KUMO 12G-SDI routers are designed to handle high frame rate (HFR) and deep color formats with ease. By utilizing 12G-SDI, users can significantly reduce cable runs when transporting 4K signals. For even more demanding requirements, the KUMO 1616-12G can be configured for ganged dual-link or quad-link grouping, enabling seamless routing of 8K signals throughout your facility.
Powerful Control and Salvo Management
Managing complex signal paths is simplified with KUMO’s internal cross-point matrix. The Salvo feature allows operators to store and recall up to eight predefined configurations, switching multiple sources to specific destinations with a single command. Control is accessible via a web-based UI, Grass Valley Native Protocol over Ethernet, or physical AJA KUMO CP2 control panels.
Reliability for Critical Environments
Built to exceed SMPTE specifications, the KUMO 1616-12G uses premium components to ensure signal integrity. The inclusion of a USB port for IP configuration via AJA eMini-Setup software streamlines installation. With support for dual redundant power supplies, this router is engineered for maximum uptime in 24/7 broadcast operations.
