Panasonic Connect has expanded its AV solutions lineup, showcasing ST 2110-enabled solutions at NAB NY 2023 to enhance production workflows.

The focus is on supporting seamless content delivery across various platforms.
The company presented its ST 2110 workflow, featuring the KAIROS live production platform, studio cameras, and PTZ cameras. Notable solutions include:
- UCU700 Camera Control Unit (CCU):
- Scheduled for release in early 2024, the CCU facilitates the integration of various camera heads into ST 2110 workflows.
- Supports 4K and HDR operation, offering optional I/F boards for SRT, NDI, ST 2110, and Dante.
- Compatible with existing UC4000, UC3300, and the new PLV100 cameras, providing tailored I/F options for each model.
- KAIROS Live Production Platform:
- The KAIROS Core AT-KC200 and AT-KC2000 (now shipping) provide enhanced functionality, improved video processing, and increased file storage capacity.
- The KC2000 introduces a 96GB RAM Player, 32GB Stills, and an 850GB Clip Player, eliminating the need for a standalone clip player in many applications.
- The KC2000S1 model, available in December, features two independent 200G ST 2110 NIC cards for fully redundant ST 2022-7 or up to 400G of ST 2110 sources.
- AK-HC3900 Studio Camera:
- Ideal for diverse live productions, this studio camera outputs HDR and SDR simultaneously.
- Native support for ST 2110 is added with the AK-SFC391 software, creating a seamless connection to the KAIROS Live Production Platform without the need for a Camera Control Unit and ST 2110 gateways.
- AK-PLV100 Super 35mm CineLive Studio Camera:
- Designed for easy CINELIVE production, this studio camera provides a cinema aesthetic with a narrow depth of field look.
- Offers ST 2110 workflow at a reasonable price, continuing the legacy of the VariCam.
- AW-UE160 4K PTZ Camera:
- Part of Panasonic’s Platinum Series, this PTZ camera enables clear image capture in challenging lighting conditions.
