Customer Testimonial

“I believe that the flexibility of KAIROS will stimulate students' imaginations and inspire them to continue learning. I would love to see our students discover new ways to use KAIROS on their own, rather than wait for faculty members to teach them.”
— Kaihei Hase, Associate Professor
Faculty of Informatics, Kansai University

KAIROS deepens learning and supports the exploration and hands-on practice that follow. Its intuitive operation and creative freedom turn classroom learning into self-driven challenges, while extending its value to hybrid classes, campus events, and student life.

Key Feature 01

Flexible Controls
That Support Growth.

KAIROS offers an intuitive interface and a flexible operating environment that adapts to each user’s level of experience. Even students using the system for the first time can operate it with a sense of familiarity, much like the creative tools and equipment they already know. Beyond learning the basics, KAIROS supports skill development at every stage, helping students move toward more practical and advanced production capabilities.

A simple design that lets a single operator handle it all.

Before KAIROS, we needed three or four operators for doing a lot of things like switching, scaling, media player, titles, whatever... And now with KAIROS, only one person can do all of them. Today, we can focus on creativity, which is very important for us, in a very efficient way.

Kairos Creator

Kairos Creator is a PC software application with an intuitive, user-friendly GUI, enabling a wide range of settings and operations.
It also supports displaying a GUI control panel, enabling space-saving operation. Compatible with Windows 10/11 and macOS Ventura/Sonoma/Sequoia.

User-assignable control panel

The “Kairos Control” panel is available in two models: 24XPT standard layout (AT-KC10C1) and 12XPT compact layout (AT-KC10C2). The panels allow functions to be assigned freely. Indicators show the functions assigned to individual buttons. Multi-scene operation is supported with two ME layouts and two faders. Multiple panels can be used simultaneously within a single system.

A transition fader of the panel supports A/B mode in addition to PGM/PST mode, enabling live production using familiar methods.

Key Feature 02

Turn What
You Imagine
into Reality.

What KAIROS truly unleashes is imagination itself. Beyond limitations, beyond convention — what you envision can be realized exactly as you see it. Complex staging, unconventional formats, intricate compositions — all seamlessly handled within a single system. The more you dare to challenge it, the further your expression expands.

Endless layers.
Endless possibilities.

It would be very unfortunate if some students could not implement their unique video messages due to limitations on the switcher side, such as those faced with conventional switchers. KAIROS, on the other hand, allows unlimited layers, so students can freely experiment with different ideas, which I hope will encourage them to be more creative.

Layered effects with
unrestricted number of MEs

Unlike the conventional hardware-based switcher, KAIROS is unrestricted by the number of MEs or keys. Layers can be added as the GPU capacity permits similar to the layers of a standard image- editing app, allowing you to set the keys and scaling freely. The Kairos Core 2000 in particular has significantly increased the number of layers by increasing the GPU video processing capacity to enable more complex and advanced video expressions.
System software V1.5 includes 2.5D DVE support (rotation and position adjustment using X, Y and Z axis).

Resolution independent

Standard video formats with different resolutions such as 4K/HD can be mixed and used. I/P conversion of input enables the use of 1080/59.94i and 1080/50i interlaced video inputs/output. From Ver. 2.0, flexible resolution settings not bound by standard formats are supported, allowing the system to be used in more situations with more video equipment.

Format-free Canvas

The Canvas function enables the
production of videos in a special format,
such as 32:9 for wall display, in addition
to the standard 16:9 format. Up to 12K
(66M pixels) resolution is supported at
Kairos Core 2000 series. With the freely
customizable multiviewer, videos with
unique aspect can be displayed as is.

Key Feature 03

Simplified
Operations,
More Focus
on Learning.

KAIROS can consolidate video distribution systems across an entire university—including remote campuses—into a single system. Because it can be operated without requiring advanced technical expertise, teams can spend less time dealing with operations and equipment and more time enhancing streaming environments, expanding content, and communicating the unique value of the university.

Streamlined operations, so you can focus on creating better learning environments.

One of the selling features for us for the Panasonic KAIROS system is that we're able to take 30 different inputs from around the arena and the building, pipe them all here, and put them in our scenes and incorporate them into our broadcasts. We have the individual player cameras, the 10 PCs, the three spectator PCs, the caster cam, and I can keep going on about how many inputs we have that are all seamlessly integrated to process and then ship out whenever we need it. It's kind of just the combiner for all things, and it makes it super easy to transfer scenes and just move around the system.

Remote Production Supports Blended Learning

we can do remote production. This means we can produce content anywhere. From a single control room, we can broadcast and manage entire events. As you can imagine, it is now much easier for us to consider the future of blended learning.

Expanding Production Beyond Campus

KAIROS is compatible with NDI, SRT and ST 2110, so it can handle diverse video and audio formats from external sources over a network. We are looking forward to developing ideas for operations beyond those of conventional studios, such as remote live production for on- and off-campus events and university sporting events.

University of Southern California

The support that shaped
an environment
built for success.

One of the key ideas for us, when we were designing the Digital Creative Lab, was ensuring that the space was fully self-contained and fully supported. Having Panasonic Connect engineering support to help us and be there with us to assist us in designing the process and ensuring that we’re set up for success was key. That’s also a testament to the partnership that we’ve had with Panasonic, that they’re able to provide something that’s a broadcast tier system that is user-friendly enough for our students to use, not only our staff.
