Key features

A variety of inputs and outputs available for use

Resolution and format independent

Layered structure for versatile video expression

Flexibility and scalability

ST 2022-7 Network Redundancy

IT/IP Platform "KAIROS" achieves higher performance by fully utilizing the power and flexibility of its CPU and GPU, balancing total processing load without the configuration constraints of traditional hardware based systems. KAIROS offers unrestricted flexibility of input, output and operation for efficient production of expressive live videos

Variety of video inputs and outputs available for use

Compatible with various input and output signals

KAIROS fully supports baseband signal (12G/3G/HD-SDI, HDMI, Display Port) and IP packet (ST 2110, NDI^®*¹, RTP) input and output. In addition to RTP, RTMP, and RTSP, the SRT*² streaming protocol is supported for superior stability and security. And it is equipped with 8 input channels of Kairos Core 2000/200 and 2 output channels, and each channel can be set to selected protocol.*³ Audio input/output is supported 16 channels each for NDI^® and SRT, and 8 channels each for RTMP and RTSP.

_{*1: NDI^® is a new protocol developed by NewTek, Inc. that supports IP video production workflow. NDI^® is a registered trademark of NewTek, Inc. in the United States. In this instance, NDI^® is used to indicate low latency with high bandwidth NDI^®.}
_{*2: SRT stands for Secure Reliable Transport.}
_{*3: For RTSP, only input is supported. Note that RTSP input does not work with the AW-HE130W/K (Discontinued) and AW-HR140 PTZ cameras.}

What’s NDI® Technology

Agile Input Routing Outline Diagram, Example in ST 2110 for AT-KC1000T

Input/output functions of KAIROS has been expanded and strengthened by the "Agile Input Routing" feature that flexibly allocates GPU I/O capability according to the bandwidth of video source.

For example, up to 128 inputs* and 80 outputs* of 1080i and 720p signal can be connected to on a single mainframe with ST 2110 network.
This allows using in larger scale live productions with more scenes and more input sources.
KAIROS removes input restriction to be connected to a system and realize more efficient use of ST 2110 network and other inputs such as Deltacast, NDI^®, SRT and other streaming inputs.

_{* Input and output totals are on a best-effort basis using the Kairos Core 2000 mainframe and 1080/60i or 720/60p video for all I/O sources after release of KAIROS software Ver. 2.0 and require HD I/O option. The Kairos Core 200 offers a maximum 60 inputs and 40 outputs with 1080/60i or 720/60p video signals.}

Resolution independent

Standard video formats with different resolutions such as 4K/HD can be mixed and used. I/P conversion of input enables the use of 1080/59.94i and 1080/50i interlaced video inputs/output.

Supported Video Form
