The KUMO 3232-12G streamlines 4K/UltraHD workflows by using 12G-SDI, which supports up to 4K/60p video over a single SDI cable. This reduces cable clutter and simplifies system integration, ensuring efficient high-bandwidth signal routing for broadcast control rooms, post-production facilities, and live event production environments where managing multiple high-resolution signals is critical.

Despite its extensive routing capabilities, the KUMO 3232-12G is housed in a 1RU rack-mountable chassis, making it ideal for installation in high-density rack systems. Whether used in a broadcast facility, OB van, or mobile production unit, its compact design ensures it fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures, providing space-saving signal management without compromising on performance.

The KUMO 3232-12G features network-based control, allowing users to manage the router from any network-connected device via a web-based interface. This intuitive control system enables quick and easy signal routing changes from anywhere, making it especially useful for remote production or distributed control environments. The router is also compatible with KUMO hardware control panels, offering a more tactile interface for operators in live production setups.

Designed for reliability in mission-critical applications, the KUMO 3232-12G comes with a single power supply but supports an optional redundant power supply. This ensures continuous operation, even in the event of a power failure, making the router ideal for live broadcasts, sports events, and other high-stakes productions where downtime is not an option.

The KUMO 3232-12G automatically detects the format of incoming signals, allowing for seamless routing of 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI formats without manual reconfiguration. This auto-detection feature simplifies operation in environments where multiple formats are used, ensuring smooth integration and efficient signal management.

For enhanced workflow automation, the KUMO 3232-12G supports GPI (General Purpose Interface) triggers, allowing for integration with other production systems. This feature enables automated routing changes and simplifies production workflows in environments like live broadcast control rooms or multi-camera event productions.

The KUMO 3232-12G is designed for low power consumption, ensuring that it operates efficiently while minimizing operational costs. This energy-efficient design is ideal for long-term installations in broadcast studios or mobile production units, where energy usage can have a significant impact on overall production costs.

The KUMO 3232-12G offers front panel controls with LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on the status of inputs, outputs, and power. This makes it easy for operators to perform manual routing adjustments and monitor system status at a glance, ensuring smooth operation during live events and broadcast productions.

The AJA KUMO 3232-12G is ideal for broadcast professionals, live event producers, and post-production teams that require reliable 32x32 SDI routing with support for high-bandwidth 12G-SDI signals. Its compact design, 4K/UltraHD compatibility, redundant power supply option, and network-based control make it an ideal solution for studio racks, OB vans, and mobile production setups where efficient signal management is crucial.
