The Japanese CyberAgent equips its eight studios with Panasonic Kairos

Panasonic's new Kairos IT/IP live production platform will enable CyberAgent, a Japanese digital advertising company, produce more live content from its eight studios.

In this way, the production center Chateau Ameba, becomes the largest Kairos installation worldwide to date.

Chateau Ameba is a production facility from which CyberAgent produces a wide range of programs for 20 channels cubriendo una multitud de géneros. Poder producir programas de alta calidad de forma eficiente era crucial para CyberAgent, introducir la producción remota en su proceso con Kairos para mejorar la eficiencia de sus operaciones.

La productora valoró especialmente la capacidad multicapa de Kairos con un número ilimitado de ME o keyers, que es posible gracias al procesamiento de vídeo basado en la GPU. La interfaz gráfica de usuario, fácil de usar e intuitiva, y la posibilidad de ampliar las funciones gracias a la arquitectura abierta basada en TI también fueron bien recibidas.

Nobuteru Kondo, from CyberAgent, comments that Ameba aims to "reinvent television production. In situations where unprecedented technical challenges are needed, Kairos fits the direction we are looking for. The high performance of Kairos is also very attractive. I believe that the eight systems we have installed will be used by all members of our staff involved in the production of programs of various genres to create more enjoyable programs for our viewers. In the next stage, we would like to reform the workflow using remote production and IP and achieve compatibility with a variety of formats such as 4K and vertical format videos.”
