"We are proud to join the Kairos ecosystem," said a spokesperson from Colorlight. "Our LED control solutions complement Kairos perfectly, offering pixel‑perfect synchronization, 5G transmission, and high‑fidelity colour for demanding live productions."
A Natural Fit: Colorlight + Kairos
Panasonic Kairos is a revolutionary IP‑based live production platform built on open standards, including SMPTE ST2110. It is designed to break the limitations of traditional SDI infrastructure, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and real‑time performance for broadcast, live events, and virtual production.
Colorlight brings to the alliance deep expertise in high‑performance LED video processing, 5G transmission, and low‑latency display control. Our flagship Z8t super processor — with native ST2110 support, Genlock, frame multiplexing, and sub‑frame latency — is an ideal companion for Kairos‑based workflows.
When Kairos handles video routing, compositing, and switching, Colorlight processors take over the final mile: driving LED walls with pixel‑perfect synchronization, HDR fidelity, and seamless multi‑screen splicing.
Key Benefits for Integrators and Creatives
This partnership unlocks tangible advantages for professionals in broadcasting, xR virtual production, rental staging, and corporate AV:

| Full IP Workflow | From camera to LED wall — both platforms embrace ST2110, reducing cabling and enabling remote production. |
| Ultra‑Low Latency | Colorlight's nanosecond‑level sync combined with Kairos' fast processing ensures live‑to‑air confidence. |
| Scalable LED Walls | The Z8t, X100 Pro, and Universe series support massive resolutions (520M pixels) — perfect for large‑scale Kairos projects. |
| High‑Fidelity Colour | 3D LUT, HDR10, HLG, and Color Magic deliver accurate, vibrant images exactly as the director intended. |
| Simplified System Design | Fewer converters, less complexity — a truly unified IP ecosystem. |
