Panasonic and AED join forces to present DJ YVES V Christmas livestream

Simultaneous streams for music fans and event producers that want a unique director’s view of the Panasonic glass-to-glass production solution, featuring KAIROS.

Panasonic and AED group are helping international Music Producer and DJ YVES V deliver an early Christmas present to music lovers around the world with a free YouTube stream on Wednesday 15 December at 17:00hrs GMT/18:00hrs CET.

Panasonic’s glass-to-glass production solution will capture the electro house master in action at BENELUX’s first Virtual Production Studio at AED Studios. As well as streaming the main music event, a second simultaneous behind-the-scenes stream will show the full technical production featuring Panasonic’s studio and PTZ cameras with robotic control systems working with KAIROS, its live production platform, at the heart of the operation.

With his music filling the playlists of some of the biggest DJs on the planet and his live sets illuminating iconic events such as Tomorrowland, Sensation, Amsterdam Dance Event, David Guetta in Concert and Mysteryland, YVES V wanted to give something back to his 1m+ social media followers and this pre-Christmas livestream was too good an opportunity to miss.

As well as streaming the musical magic, in parallel Panasonic and the AED Group will be providing a unique view from the production seat via a second stream – making the event invaluable viewing for both music fans and events producers, live events companies, technical directors, operators and rental companies.

Those interested in seeing how the event is produced will be able to see the performance intercut with behind the scenes footage of Panasonic PTZ cameras working with Tecnopoint Robotic Systems and Panapod for remote camera movement and for close-ups, as well as the Panasonic AK-UC4000 studio camera.

At the heart of the production will be KAIROS, the next generation live production platform that gives AV professionals creative freedom by supporting seamless broadcasting on numerous devices and feeds, in any source, format, scale, screen and mix, without loss of quality. More than a switcher, the platform can also perform routing and screen management functions. With multiple screen layouts built through one simple user interface, KAIROS helps AV professionals improve live and virtual productions.

“With the requirement for production of hybrid events a massive growth trend for 2022, this was a fantastic opportunity to show the ease of use and benefits of using Panasonic KAIROS at the heart of our glass-to-glass production solution for these types of events,” said Panasonic Professional Video Systems Business Unit EMEA Director, André Meterian. “It’s great to use Panasonic’s broadcasting solutions to connect YVES V with his fans around the world.”

YVES V added: “At a time when it’s still difficult to bring fans together face-to-face, I wanted to lift everyone’s spirits as we approach Christmas and what better way than through music and dance. It’s going to be a great set!”
