KAIROS integration with leading production tool Viz Mosart further extends workflow options.
Bracknell, UK. 10th September 2024 – Panasonic Connect Europe today announced its live production platform KAIROS is now compatible with Vizrt’s leading studio automation solution, Viz Mosart. The development, as part of the KAIROS Alliance Partner programme, extends workflow options with powerful automation capability.
KAIROS, the ultimate IT/IP platform, is breaking new ground for live video production unlocking flexibility at all levels unlike existing hardware-based systems. It provides unlimited control to deliver rich content for broadcast, large screen display and live streams.
The production assistant of choice for live productions globally, Vizrt’s Viz Mosart automates repetitive and complex manual tasks so production teams can focus on telling better stories, rather than managing technical architecture. Whether for news, sports or pre-recorded studio productions, Viz Mosart helps manage operational costs, improve output consistency, and maximise the creative leverage of the technology estate.
“The KAIROS open architecture easily enables the integration of third-party systems and applications. This addition of Vizrt’s Viz Mosart production assistant solution is yet another example of listening and responding to our customer’s requirements,” said Andre Meterian, Director of Professional Video Systems for Panasonic Connect Europe. “It’s also further evidence of the benefits coming from the KAIROS Alliance Partner programme, where about 50 manufacturers and suppliers are collaborating across the production ecosystem to bring increased efficiency, flexibility and content quality to the industry – all based on the KAIROS live production platform.”
“Many customers choose Viz Mosart to really maximise the value of their studio investment, unlocking more creative power under each rundown item or button press” said Andy Newton, Senior Product Manager at Vizrt. “The flexibility of Panasonic KAIROS drives our workflows even further towards this aim, and with its integration Viz Mosart is consolidating its position at the cutting edge of software-defined studio production.”
Key Benefits of KAIROS
KAIROS offers unrestricted flexibility of input, output, and operation for efficient live video production. Unlike a conventional production switcher, KAIROS allows as many video layers as the GPU capacity permits. User-defined keys and scaling can be set in each layer without any restrictions.
KAIROS allows for resolution- and format-independent operation. Mixed input sources with different resolutions, such as HD and UHD, can be processed simultaneously. It also fully supports baseband and IP signals such as SDI, ST 2110 and NDI® in any combination without external conversion. As a native IP system, KAIROS also supports PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronization and is well suited to remote video production as part of a completely IP-based environment. It incorporates newly developed ground-breaking software that processes ST 2110 and NDI® streams of any resolution. This open architecture platform enables diverse external sources and destinations to be easily connected as well as the integration of hardware and software systems, ensuring complete operational freedom at all levels.
