AJA KUMO Compatible Router

Driver Maturity

Production

Recommended for normal production use.

Caution

Compatibility Note: This information is a general guide and may be incomplete, may not match a specific project implementation, and is subject to change as supported products and versions evolve. Confirm the exact implementation and requirements for each project with Riedel and the relevant equipment vendor, then validate the required functions end to end in the target environment before deployment.

Minimum hi Version: v2.7.6

Overview

The AJA^® KUMO^™ integration uses the HTTP /config interface. It discovers the matrix, reads and writes labels, monitors Crosspoints, and sets routes.

Network Requirements

Allow outbound HTTP from hi to the KUMO router on Port 80 by default.
No callback or inbound connection to hi is used.
Keep the unauthenticated HTTP interface on a trusted management network.

Standards Conformance

Standard	Conformance	Notes
AJA KUMO REST API	`/config` routing subset implemented	Vendor API no public-standards conformance claimed

Operator Workflow

UI Surface in hi: Routing Matrix and Inventory
Layers Controlled: Video routing
Routing Semantics: hi builds Sources and Destinations from the counts reported by the router.
Notes for Operators Familiar with the Vendor's Own Tooling: Use the KUMO web interface for device and network configuration. Use hi for labels, routing state, and Crosspoint changes.

Connection Details

Property	Value
Protocol	AJA KUMO REST API (eParamID)
Transport	HTTP
Default Port	80
Authentication	No credentials are configured in hi for this connection
Encryption in Transit	Not provided by the configured HTTP connection
Connection Model	HTTP request/response hi polls the KUMO change-event interface
Required License	hiBase
Traffic Flow	Outbound from hi

Required Configuration

Parameter	Description	Default
Host / IP Address	HTTP URL of the AJA KUMO router in the form `http://address`	-
Port	HTTP port for the REST API	80
Reinitialize	Operations button that disconnects all connections to the router and restarts initialization available at runtime	-
Reset	Operations button that restarts the services that communicate with the router available at runtime	-

Device-Side Setup

Follow AJA KUMO Compatible Router Integration Configuration for the device-side and hi-side configuration steps.

Supported Features

Feature	Access	Exposed Operation and Scope
Matrix Discovery	Read-only	Read Source and Destination counts from the router.
Crosspoint Routing	Read/write	Read current routes and set Source-to-Destination routes.
Labels	Mixed: read-only and write-only	Read Source and Destination labels; write only the primary label line. The secondary line is not writable.
Change Subscription	Read-only updates	Receive Crosspoint and label changes by polling the KUMO change-event interface.

Device Coverage

Tested With identifies devices that have been tested with hi. Potentially Compatible (Not Yet Verified) identifies compatibility candidates that use the same protocol or connection method. Device-specific configuration, firmware, and feature support can affect results.

This integration supports the AJA KUMO range.

Tested With

AJA KUMO

Supported Product Range

The installed firmware must expose the required /config count, label, routing, and change-event parameters. The KUMO CP and CP2 are separate Ethernet control panels, not routers.

AJA KUMO 1604
AJA KUMO 1616
AJA KUMO 1616-12G
AJA KUMO 3232
AJA KUMO 3232-12G
AJA KUMO 6464
AJA KUMO 6464-12G

Potentially Compatible (Not Yet Verified)

Routers from other vendors that implement the AJA KUMO REST API and expose the required /config count, label, routing, and change-event parameters.

Known Limitations

The integration exposes one video-routing matrix per KUMO unit.
hi provides no credential setting for this connection. AJA documents a login cookie for a password-protected KUMO router, and hi sends no login. Disable the password protection on the KUMO router, because hi cannot sign in to a password-protected router.
Validate the required /config parameters on the installed device.

What's Not Supported

Writes to the secondary label line; label writes update the primary line only.
Destination locks and salvos.
Engineering-level network configuration - use the KUMO web interface.
Firmware updates - use the vendor's native update utility.
Product identity and hardware diagnostics are not available through this integration.
