In February 2021, Toyama Prefecture in Japan unveiled its ambitious growth strategy, aiming to leverage its unique resources for economic development. To realize this vision, they convened the Toyama Growth Strategy Conference, a gathering of experts across various sectors to formulate a comprehensive strategy encompassing industrial promotion, innovation, talent development, and regional resource utilization.
To enhance outreach, the “Shiawaseru (Creating Happiness). Toyama” event was organized in March 2022. Led by Mr. Kotaro Ebitani of EverT, the event featured a hybrid format blending physical and online components across multiple venues, including the Toyama International Conference Center.
However, the setup posed significant challenges, with the cumbersome arrangement of cables hindering efficiency and flexibility. Recognizing the need for a streamlined solution, Mr. Yuto Izumi of KAN-NARI CO., LTD AVC Division proposed integrating NDI technology, known for its simplicity and efficiency in video transmission.
The introduction of Kiloview’s N40 NDI converter revolutionized the event setup. Its user-friendly interface and robust features, including bi-directional conversion and support for 4K resolution, seamlessly integrated with existing equipment. By transmitting HDMI signals into NDI, the N40 facilitated smooth communication with the TriCaster 2 Elite, the main switcher for live streaming.
The outcome was a resounding success. The “Shiawaseru. Toyama” event effectively communicated Toyama Prefecture’s growth plans, fostering economic development and regional prosperity. Notably, the flexibility of NDI technology opens avenues for future hybrid events, aligning with the evolving landscape of online and offline engagements.
Moreover, the affordability and performance of Kiloview’s N40 set it apart from competitors, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. Its compatibility with a range of IP protocols, primarily NDI, makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to embrace IP workflows.
Looking ahead, the collaboration between industry professionals and innovative technologies like the N40 promises to drive further growth and innovation, positioning Toyama Prefecture at the forefront of economic development in Japan.
