With seven screen sizes, ranging from 43 to 98 inches, these displays provide 24/7 operation with high brightness and an anti-glare treatment that makes them ideal for use in boardrooms, corporate meetings, and learning spaces, as well as for digital signage, retail, and point-of-information applications.
To ensure maximum flexibility and scalability, the SQ2H series features the Intel Smart Display Module (Intel SDM) specification slot, offering a standard for a wide range of use cases such as digital signage and broadcast, being able to integrate a PC, a wide range of optional inputs or a wireless presentation system.

Incredible touch precision with up to 10-point multi-touch-both bare-handed and gloved-combined with the 500cd/m2 brightness display and anti-reflective treatment for high-visibility 4K viewing makes this range the perfect solution for creative group work.
4. The next generation of KAIROS, the state-of-the-art live production platform – Available in 2023.
Panasonic is expanding the Kairos ecosystem by adding two new powerful and quiet Core mainframes, AT-KC200 and AT-KC2000, which expand the platform’s innovative GPU processing to support larger and more complex productions, enabling rich content to be delivered to even more large screens.
The new KC200 expands connectivity options and processing power beyond the current KC100, while the KC2000 offers the highest computing capacity ever, doubling the current KC1000 in a number of sources and outputs, increasing processing performance by at least 30 percent and clip player capacity by 500 percent for a total of 900 GB. The new 4RU chassis for both models provides high airflow at lower fan speeds, significantly reducing noise and allowing the system to be placed directly in the area of use.
