VidiGo Visual Radio collaborates with the existing radio production workflow and empowers the visual creativity of the host.

Panasonic IT Integration Product Manager, Markus Naegele, says to be pleased with this cooperation: "With this partnership, we expand our relationship with VidiGo. We have noticed a high demand for visual radio with integrated robotic cameras. This combination is also seeing increasingly more successful installations all over the world. Our partnership with VidiGo will help us expand into new markets with a high-end solution for radio stations."

VidiGo CEO Hans Krouwels states: "VidiGo is extremely proud of the new partnership with Panasonic. The world of radio is changing rapidly and a new generation listeners expects high quality video.
