Panasonic Connect North America To Develop Cloud-Based Solution for Video Production in KAIROS Ecosystem
Panasonic Connect North America announced plans to develop a cloud-based solution for video production within the KAIROS ecosystem for the U.S. market that allows crews to take advantage of the KAIROS IT/IP production platform’s video processing and distribution capabilities without confining them to an on-premise studio.
The cloud-based solution works with the on-premise KAIROS IT/IP platform (released in May 2020). With corporations hosting more hybrid-style events and houses of worship looking to enhance virtual services, Panasonic says the cloud plays an increasingly important role in streamlining workflows for greater efficiency.
For industries, such as higher education and house of worship, where it may be costly to set up a full-scale production studio, KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution can support the entire workflow in a simplified set-up. It consolidates video materials captured by cameras into the cloud and makes them accessible not only from the production site but also from remote offices and homes, allowing production teams to edit, produce and distribute content efficiently in real-time. Moving video production to the cloud means production sites can reduce their initial on-site investments and leverage the system to support hybrid workflows.
The new cloud solution shares the same software and underlying technology as the on-premise version, allowing for integration with any existing KAIROS ecosystem. Production crews can leverage the cloud and on-premise versions separately or together for a seamless production workflow. KAIROS Core on-premise delivers a single frame of latency to local screens — necessary for IMAG applications, while a cloud account offers new features activation on a project basis. Adding the cloud component to local hardware further enhances the flexibility and scalability of a production team at any level.
KAIROS customers using the cloud-based solution will also have the option to leverage a KAIROS Control Panel, with either the original AT-KC10C1 full size panel or the new AT-KC10C2 compact panel, to manage production workflows. The AT-KC10C2 (available Q4 CY2022) will enable the same level of operability as the AT-KC10C1 but in a compact layout ideal for fly-packs or smaller control rooms.
