Discover how Caton Technology captured the energy of a J-Pop concert in Hong Kong using Atomos Shinobi II monitors and StudioSonic headphones.

A leading J-Pop group made their Hong Kong debut at this year’s Expo with a vibrant fan event – featuring live performances, interactive games, and their first ever meet-and-greet in the city. To bring the excitement to cinemas across the country, Caton Technology – a pioneer in next-gen IP transport – turned to Atomos for dependable, high-quality video and audio monitoring.

A global leader in live video over IP, Caton is known for its advanced cloud platform and patented AI innovations. Backstage, the Caton team tapped into video feeds routed from the control panel, capturing the show before the signal reached the video encoder. Using multiple Shinobi II monitors, they were able to review shots and make quick adjustments thanks to the monitor’s bright 5-inch HDR display and intuitive interface.

“Atomos’ solutions gave us the confidence to maintain broadcast-grade quality.”

For audio monitoring, Caton used Atomos StudioSonic headphones. Designed for creatives and studio professionals, StudioSonic features large 50mm high-resolution drivers and an ultra-wide frequency response of 10Hz–40kHz, delivering crisp, clear sound, which proved essential in meeting the standards of international cinema distribution.

The closed-back, over-ear design offers passive noise isolation, while 180° swivel earcups and a detachable coiled cable provide flexibility for one-ear monitoring on the move. Their compact build, paired with ultra-soft memory foam earpads, delivers all-day comfort, making them a perfect fit for the fast-paced, high-mobility environment backstage.

“Atomos’ solutions gave us the confidence to maintain broadcast-grade quality in both video and audio, even under the most demanding conditions,” says Roxanne Xiang, Senior Manager of Business Operations at Caton. “When you’re aiming for 99.9999% Service Level Agreement (SLA), every tool in the workflow counts.”
