Kokusai Denki to Highlight 4K and Remote Production Tools at InfoComm 2026

The introduction of flexible 4K and remote production tools addresses the ongoing transition for AV professionals seeking to upgrade workflows without immediate, full-scale investment. By offering solutions that integrate with existing HD infrastructure and support REMI models, Kokusai Denki is responding to market demand for phased technological adoption. This strategy underscores a broader industry effort to balance advanced capabilities with practical implementation across diverse production environments. What to watch: The adoption rate of these hybrid 4K/HD solutions in corporate and educational sectors will indicate the success of this phased upgrade approach.

Kokusai Denki Electric America's presence at InfoComm 2026 follows prior announcements regarding their 4K and remote production offerings. At NAB Show 2026, the company debuted the Z-HD6500-S1 4K broadcast camera and the RU-2500JY remote control panel, emphasizing an 'affordable path to native 4K production' (TV Tech, April 2026). CEO Sean Moran highlighted the company's commitment to delivering 'equal or better picture quality' while allowing customers to grow their systems without significant upfront investment. This approach aligns with industry trends towards modular upgrades and hybrid solutions that cater to varied budget and infrastructure constraints. The RU-2500JY remote control panel's support for ST 2110 workflows and traditional broadcast infrastructure reflects the ongoing coexistence of IP-based and legacy systems in production environments (Sports Video Group, April 2026). Other exhibitors at InfoComm 2026, such as Telestream, are also focusing on live production and media workflow demonstrations, indicating a wider trend toward efficient and flexible production solutions (Sports Video Group, June 2026).
