Panasonic Announces EIZO Joins KAIROS Alliance Partners

Press Release: KAIROS and EIZO's First ST 2110 Compatible Monitor CG1 Expands ST 2110 ecosystem.

Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co., Ltd. (“Panasonic”) today announced EIZO, which develops and sells visual display systems such as monitors, has joined the “KAIROS Alliance Partner,” a partnership with IT and video-related equipment manufacturers and suppliers of IT/IP platform KAIROS, a live video production solution. In addition, the 30.5-inch HDR “ColorEdge PROMINENCE CG1”, the first EIZO monitor to support SMPTE ST 2110, and KAIROS were verified to work together, making the CG1 a third-party device that has been confirmed to work with KAIROS. Through collaboration with EIZO and cross-validation with the ST 2110 compatible display CG1, we will provide the video production industry with a freer, higher-quality video production environment and workflow improvements.

With this collaboration and validation, KAIROS and CG1 will make it easier to use the ST 2110 ecosystem for video input and output including the color mode of YCbCr 4:4:4 and RGB. Since the output of the ST 2110 from KAIROS can be received by the CG1 without using a converter or gateway, it is possible to reduce the equipment of the system and check the output of the ST 2110 in advance. And both KAIROS and CG1 are compatible with NMOS* and ST 2022-7. Therefore, it is also possible to build a system with NMOS control and network redundancy.

“We are very pleased to be able to contribute to the development of ST 2110 and the use of IP in the video industry through our collaboration with EIZO,” said Kageyuki (Kenny) Fujimoto, lead manager of KAIROS Alliance Partners. “Through collaboration with KAIROS Alliance partners, we believe that bringing together industry leaders to create a single, integrated production environment simplifies installation and operation for creatives who rely on KAIROS to create dynamic, fresh content on a daily basis around the world.”

KAIROS for touch-and-try will be held at the Panasonic booth (N1311) at “2025 NAB Show” be held in Las Vegas, USA from April 6 to April 10, 2025, and CG1 will be exhibited at the booth. In addition, EIZO's “ColorEdge PROMINENCE CG1” HDR reference monitor will also be on display at the EIZO booth (SL5829) at “2025 NAB Show”.
