Panasonic KAIROS Core 2000 (Main Frame) AT-KC2000

Variety of Video Inputs/Outputs

KAIROS fully supports baseband signal (12G/3G/HD-SDI, HDMI, Display Port) and IP packet (ST 2110, NDI, RTP) input and output. In addition to RTP, RTMP, and RTSP, the SRT streaming protocol is supported for superior stability and security. And it is equipped with eight input channels of Kairos Core 2000 and two output channels, and each channel can be set to a selected protocol. Audio input/output is supported by 16 channels each for NDI and SRT, and eight channels each for RTMP and RTSP.

Agile Input Routing

Up to 128 inputs and 80 outputs of 1080i and 720p signal can be connected to a single mainframe with ST 2110 network. This allows use in larger-scale live productions with more scenes and more input sources. KAIROS removes input restrictions to be connected to a system and realizes more efficient use of the ST 2110 network and other inputs such as Deltacast, NDI, SRT, and other streaming inputs.

Audio Input/Output Supported

In addition to ST 2110-30 (AES67), SDI-embedded audio via the gateway port, NDI, and SRT/RTMP/RTSP audio input/output are supported. Also, functions that support audio level meter displays onto the multiviewer, clip player audio output, and output audio routing have been added.
A total of 32 audio streams are available with up to 10 split-screen audio level meter displays.

Audio Mixer Function

The AT-SF005 audio mixer option adds audio mixing function. It enables the adjustment, mixing, routing, and muting of up to 16 channels (stereo/monaural) per video source. It is also equipped with a master level adjustment and tone generator.
Starting with version 1.2.2, PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) and audio monitor output are supported., with various other functions also added.

Resolution Independent
Standard video formats with different resolutions such as 4K/HD can be mixed and used. IP conversion of input enables the use of 1080i59.94 and 1080i50 interlaced video inputs/output.

Customizable Multiviewer Configuration

KAIROS is equipped with four multiviewer outputs for AT-KC2000 that are compatible with 4K/HD. The display layout can be freely customized and saved as your own template, and up to 36 images on each screen can be displayed on four screens. This multiviewer can also manage to display RAM/Clip Player and scene and AUX output. The audio level meter can also be displayed.

PTP Synchronization
KAIROS supports PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronization, which is an IP-based synchronization and can fully manage the whole ST 2110 system. It supports PTP synchronization even with a GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) port connection.

Layered Effects with Unrestricted Number of MEs
Unlike conventional hardware-based switchers, the KAIROS Core 2000 is unrestricted by the number of MEs or keys. Layers can be added as the GPU capacity permits similar to the layers of a standard image-editing app, allowing you to set the keys and scaling freely. The Kairos Core 2000 has significantly increased the number of layers by increasing the GPU video processing capacity to enable more complex and advanced video expressions.

Diverse Effects with Title Generator
Layers can be added with not only keys but also various effects. The built-in title generator allows you to create titles.
Layer-Based Content Creation
Arrange live video content sources on a field, like images in Photoshop

One Frame Latency and Variable Frame Delay
Processing latency can be as low as one frame. Sports and concert performances can be presented with the action intact. A variable frame delay (1 to 20 frames per one frame step) can be conducted for each channel, and the frame delay difference between the sources can be adjusted.

Video/Audio/Still Frame File Retention
With the built-in RAM Player, Clip Player, and Audio Player, footage can be played in loaded video/audio files. A playlist function has been added to the Clip/RAM player. It also has a still picture storage.
