Hitomi Appoints Hibino As Japan Reseller

Hitomi Broadcast has appointed Hibino Technos Inc. as a value-added reseller in Japan, giving customers local access to its MatchBox technology and expanding its presence in the country's broadcast market.

Hibino Technos, previously known as TechnoHouse, will represent Hitomi's precision timing and synchronisation products. The partnership is intended to support broadcasters and production teams working with increasingly complex IP, software-based and distributed production environments.

Hibino Technos will showcase the products at Inter BEE 2026 in Hall 3, Booth 3301. They include MatchBox, which measures latency and lip-sync and has been nominated for an Inter BEE Award 2026. The MatchBox Glass app will also be shown, following its recent Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy® Award for its contribution to frame-accurate timing measurement.

The display will include Spectra, an HDR colour verification tool that uses picture-based analysis to detect incorrect LUTs, unexpected colour conversions and SDR/HDR workflow errors.

"Japan is an important market for Hitomi, and having the right local expertise is essential to supporting customers as production workflows continue to evolve," said Russell Johnson, Director at Hitomi Broadcast. "We're delighted to welcome Hibino Technos as a value-added reseller. Their presence at Inter BEE provides an excellent opportunity to introduce more broadcasters and production teams to our latest technology, while establishing a strong foundation for our continued work in Japan."

"We're pleased to be working with Hitomi and bringing its precision timing solutions to our customers in Japan," said Ryuji Enomoto, President at Hibino Technos Inc. "Broadcasters are dealing with increasingly complex production environments, and being able to identify and resolve timing issues quickly is essential. We see real value in the MatchBox technology and look forward to demonstrating how it can support our customers' workflows at Inter BEE and beyond."
