Is your current router starting to get overwhelmed as you work with more and more high resolution, high dynamic range signals? With 64x 12G-SDI inputs and 64x 12G-SDI outputs, AJA KUMO 6464-12G has you covered, offering high bandwidth and cost-effective signal routing.

AJA Video Systems introduced the new KUMO 6464-12G, a high capacity 12G-SDI router with 64x 12G-SDI inputs and 64x 12G-SDI outputs. 

KUMO 6464-12G provides increased capacity for larger configurations while maintaining a compact 4RU height and slim profile. 

It supports 12G-SDI/6G-SDI/3G-SDI/1.5G-SDI/270Mb and DVB ASI, with 64x 12G-SDI inputs and 64x 12G-SDI outputs. You can easily route and control video with embedded audio to/from BNC connections with auto re-clocking of SDI rates.
