In response, Panasonic Connect will launch two next-generation KAIROS mainframes, both fully equipped for large-scale live and complex video production and designed for compatibility with evolving IT/IP infrastructure.
The AT-KC200 and AT-KC2000 both offer significantly improved functionality and performance, including many more inputs and outputs, improved video-processing performance and enhanced file-storage capacity, allowing the use of far more sources than ever before for the creation of compelling and complex effects.
Panasonic Connect continues to steadily reinvent video production sites with its innovative IT/IP platform “KAIROS,” helping video producers to richly and expressively convey all the emotion and excitement of special moments captured in time for audiences worldwide, and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society and to ensure well-being for all.
