MatchBox Panorama: Hitomi's new solution to unify timing and latency measurements

Hitomi presents worldwide in NAB 2026 (April 19-22, Las Vegas) its latest development: MatchBox Panorama, a visualization platform that brings together all the timing measurements of an infrastructure, allowing you to identify sources of latency and reduce the time it takes to correct them.

The family MatchBox of Hitomi stands out for its capacity measure latencies and lip synchronization through a circuit that uses a unique audio and video test pattern, created either in a MatchBox Generator or with the MatchBox Glass iPhone app. The main advance of MatchBox Panorama is that it not only monitors multiple sources coming from a test pattern, but also allows you to insert data probes at any point in the signal path.

This implies that users, beyond being able to precisely align all the signals, will be able to identify at what point circuits or equipment are contributing to significant latency, making optimization safe and easy. Hitomi's tool comes in the form of standalone software, although it is designed to be openly integrated into larger production environments. broad and interoperable. In fact, it has already proven its effectiveness within the ecosystem AMPP of Grass Valley.

Russell Johnson, director of Hitomi, summarizes the keys to a system that will take its first steps in NAB 2026: "Live sports are of enormous importance to American audiences, and lip sync and latency issues can ruin the experience. At NAB, we will demonstrate how MatchBox Panorama brings all probes and measurements together in one place, making it easy to optimize synchronization in complex contribution workflows. This also offers opportunities for other sports environments, such as colleges and universities, to achieve the same professional and efficient latency settings."
