Panasonic KAIROS Core SDI Mainframe

Panasonic AT-KC200PL1 KAIROS Core SDI Mainframe is an IT/IP-centric live video processing platform built for modern facilities that want switcher-class production power without being boxed in by fixed hardware routing. The core idea is simple: KAIROS leans on CPU and GPU resources to balance processing and scale, so your workflow is defined by the show and the system design, not by traditional baseband limits.

Highlights

• IT/IP-centric live video processing platform designed around CPU/GPU performance
• 4RU rackmount system with Linux OS for structured broadcast deployments
• Redundant power supply and ST 2022-7 network redundancy support
• ST 2110 support, including ST 2110-10, ST 2110-20, and ST 2110-30
• PTP sync supported on QSFP and GbE ports

Why It Helps

In real builds, KAIROS is the kind of platform you choose when you want IP-native production with proper timing and predictable behavior. It supports PTP sync, keeps the frame synchronizer always ON for input stability, and provides frame delay control (0 to 12 frames) with a stated minimum 1-frame latency. That combination is aimed at facilities that care about clean sync, clean routing, and repeatable results across shows.

System Characteristics

• ST 2022-7 redundancy: listed as supported, with a note indicating no halving of input and halving of output
• Frame Sync: applies to all input channels and is always ON (no ON/OFF control)
• Timing tools: PTP sync supported on QSFP and GbE; frame delay 0 to 12 frames in 1-frame steps
• Multiview + canvas: HD/4K multiview x 4 outputs, max 36 PiP per output; canvas up to 8K (32 megapixels)
• Layer capacity: listed as no restriction, dependent on GPU performance (visible usage via GPU meter)
