Panasonic’s KAIROS powers world’s first* “IOWN and Perfume” 3D live performance with 4K high-resolution video transmission real time

Osaka, Japan, October 3, 2025 - Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co., Ltd. announced today that its IT/IP platform KAIROS was used in the groundbreaking 3D live performance "IOWN × Perfume"-a collaboration between NTT's IOWN technology and the successful Japanese girl group Perfume-held in April. Hosted by NTT, Inc., the event showcased the future of communication by achieving the world's first* real-time 4K 3D video transmission using the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN), NTT's next-generation communications infrastructure. KAIROS was deployed by Hibino Corporation as a core system component to seamlessly deliver the immersive performance. Visitors to the NTT Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo can now experience replays of the cutting-edge performance firsthand.

Following the successful completion of validation tests carried out both internally and externally prior to the event, the project was formally announced as a technical proof-of-concept for future video production.

Emu Hino, a technical director at Hibino Corporation, said: "The production required precise synchronization across numerous components, but KAIROS allowed us to manage everything with a single unit. This greatly reduced our setup and system-management burdens to allow us to concentrate fully on creative endeavors."

Panasonic is committed to advancing remote production in the broadcast and video-production industries with its IT/IP platform KAIROS. By transforming the entire workflow-from shooting and creation to projection-the company strives to boost operational efficiency without compromising image quality, thereby addressing the evolving needs of diverse audiences.

How KAIROS Achieved the World's First* Real-Time 4K 3D Spatial Transmission Using IOWN

The production involved operating 3D cameras and executing multiple systems simultaneously. Traditional video systems would have required a complex configuration and numerous devices, making both operation and management highly challenging. With KAIROS, however, the operators greatly benefitted from a flexible system design and real-time processing capabilities. The result was a showcase of new frontiers for visual expression, creating a highly immersive live experience not possible with conventional setups.
