AJA KUMO 1616-12G Compact 16x16 12G-SDI Router

The KUMO® 1616-12G from AJA is a compact 1RU 12G-SDI router that allows multiple signal routing including full-bandwidth 8K/4K/UltraHD/HD/ SD SDI video signals. Offering flexible, cost-efficient 12G-SDI routing for high resolution, high frame rate and deep color productions, the KUMO 1616-12G is built with 16x 12G-SDI inputs and 16x 12G-SDI outputs. This compact 12G-SDI router is designed for use in broadcast, production and ProAV environments.

KUMO 12G-SDI series of routers support large format resolutions, high frame rate (HFR) and deep color formats, while reducing cable runs when transporting 4K/UltraHD over SDI. The routers offer network-based and/or physical control, and mirror the physical form of AJA’s production-proven KUMO 3232 and KUMO 1616 routers, with a new USB port for configuring IP addresses via AJA’s eMini-Setup software. Built to the same quality standards as all AJA KUMO products, KUMO 1616-12G is the ideal choice for any situation where a balance of size and capacity are critical such as mid-sized post facilities and mobile trucks.

Whether you’re building a mobile truck, edit suites or an AV flypack, get the routing capabilities you need at a price that fits well within your budget. KUMO routers are so affordable they can even be used in place of traditional DAs to distribute signals to multiple locations. KUMO routers provide an incredible price/performance ratio while still maintaining the highest quality standards.
