Description

Introducing the AJA Kumo 6464-12G Router

The AJA Kumo 6464-12G is a compact (4 RU) professional SDI router offering 64 12G-SDI inputs and 64 12G-SDI outputs, supporting video formats up to 8K/UltraHD2 via dual or quad ganged routing. It retains the proven reliability of AJA Kumo routers while providing flexible signal management for broadcast, virtual production, post-production, or OB truck environments.

This router features a crosspoint switching matrix, allowing each input to be routed to multiple outputs without a separate amplifier, useful as a distribution amplifier. It supports a wide range of SDI formatsSD, HD, 2K, 4K, 6G, and 12Gwith automatic SDI signal reclocking.

It can be operated via an integrated web server, network commands (RS-422, GVG protocol, Ethernet), or KUMO CP/CP2, with initial IP address configuration via USB and the eMini-Setup tool.

A recent firmware update introduces automatic cable length adjustment and optimized reclocking for all KUMO units.

Case studies
