KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r1 35 www.aja.com
IMPORTANT: The power connector has a latch, similar to an Ethernet connector. Depress
the latch (facing the outside edge of the KUMO device) before disconnecting the
power cable from the unit.
Ethernet Connector
An RJ-45 connector provides 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection to the internal
Linux OS/web server.
Identify LED
The Identify LED lights when you use the web interface to identify the KUMO unit
you are controlling.
Button Key Caps
Each control panel button has a removable lens cap that allows you to customize
Source and Destination names. AJA has provided a template for printing custom
lens chips (we suggest using 29 lb. vellum) for button designations. The template
is available at:

Using a Control Panel
Performing a Take
1. Select the router you wish to control with a Router delegation button.
2. Press the desired Destination button. It will illuminate.
3. Press the desired Source button. That Source will be routed to that
Destination and the Source button will illuminate.
NOTE: Sources for locked Destinations cannot be changed.
Taking a Salvo
Up to eight salvos can be configured on a KUMO router. Each salvo can route any
number of Sources to any number of Destinations, including the same Source to
multiple Destinations. Crosspoints not included in a salvo remain unchanged. See
"Salvos Configuration" on page 26
to learn how to configure salvos.
Performing a salvo is a two stage process. First you arm the salvo, and then you
take the salvo.
1. Press the desired Salvo button. The button will blink for five seconds.
2. Press that blinking Salvo button again to take that salvo.
After five seconds, the Salvo button will no longer be armed and will stop
blinking. To take that salvo you will need to press the Salvo button again to rearm
that salvo.
NOTE: Salvos do not change locked Destinations.
