Osaka, Japan, January 28, 2026–Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co., Ltd. Today announced significant advancements poised to empower and accelerate the live events and event technology sectors. This includes a major expansion of the KAIROS Alliance Partner program to leading LED processor brands, alongside a refreshed brand message. Embracing the powerful new slogan “Unleash Creativity and Elevate Every Experience” for live event production, Panasonic’s KAIROS IT/IP Platform proudly welcomes four industry-leading LED processor innovators—Brompton Technology, Colorlight, Megapixel, and Novastar—into its Alliance Partner program. This strategic expansion solidifies KAIROS’ commitment to delivering seamless, immersive experiences and unparalleled operational efficiency for the most ambitious large-scale events.

The KAIROS Alliance Partner program’s strategic integration with Brompton Technology, Colorlight, Megapixel, and Novastar offers live event professionals unprecedented power and flexibility:

“Brompton is thrilled to be part of the KAIROS Alliance Partner program. KAIROS’ open AVoIP approach aligns closely with where live production is heading. With our Tessera SQ200, we’re bringing that same mindset to LED processing, by supporting SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX workflows with the performance and resilience needed for high-stakes broadcast and ProAV environments.” – Richard Mead, Chief Executive Officer

“We are truly honored to be an alliance partner with the Panasonic KAIROS platform. This collaboration signifies that Colorlight's technological strength and product reliability in the high-end visual processing field have been recognized by a globally leading brand. Colorlight's high-performance LED processor, the Z8t, with its exceptional image processing capabilities, clear workflow, and stable system architecture, has been validated in numerous renowned television station projects worldwide. Through deep integration with Panasonic’s groundbreaking IT/IP-based live production platform, KAIROS, both parties will jointly create a seamless workflow from content production to final display, offering customers a more flexible, efficient, and future-ready integrated solution.”
— Darren Liu, Vice President

“Panasonic’s leadership in building an open live production ecosystem based on ST 2110 is highly valued across the industry. Megapixel is proud to be part of this initiative and to collaboratively deliver the world’s first ST 2110-based live production solutions for large screens.” – Jeremy Hochman, CEO and Co-Founder of Megapixel.

“These alliances with four innovative LED processor vendors significantly enhance KAIROS’ capabilities, translating directly into faster setup, consistent image quality, reduced risk, and expanded creative freedom for all live event professionals,” said Kageyuki (Kenny) Fujimoto, Lead Manager of KAIROS Alliance Partners at Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co., Ltd. “We are committed to continuously contributing to all video production and live events through relentless innovation and strategic expansion.”
