Next-generation viewer experience at KYOJO CUP: AI chooses and provides “The moment you want to see” with ultra-low latency

Regional 5G and Physical AI make it possible for real-time video shipment, getting rid of the requirement for devoted studios for a brand-new viewer experience

Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Saitama, Japan, July 27, 2026 – (JCN Newswire) – Nautilus Technologies Inc., Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., Internet Initiative Japan Inc., 1Finity Inc., a Fujitsu business and leading supplier of international network services, Fujitsu Limited, Ghelia Inc., and M-TEC Co., Ltd. today collectively revealed the start of a presentation try out Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. This job will verify next-generation real-time video streaming system, leveraging Local 5G and Physical AI, utilizing the “KYOJO CUP” formula vehicle race as its setting. This effort belongs to the “Survey on the Effectiveness Verification of Low-Latency Distributed Processing Technology in Next-Generation Infrastructure” task, led by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization(NEDO).

Regional 5G real-time streaming and Physical AI control in a live race environment

This presentation will validate a system (hereinafter, “this system”that gets 4K video and telemetry information in real-time from in-car cams and telemetry systems on racing automobiles by means of Local 5G. AI then immediately carries out proper modifying, choice, and info overlay to provide “the most exciting footage” to viewers in real-time.

This system uses Physical AI, incorporating in-car video and telemetry information, based upon in-depth physical 3D designs originated from real information at Fuji Speedway. The AI quickly identifies “the most exciting situations” and provides “the moment they want to see” to viewers at the circuit, on the area. This system uses an entirely brand-new, immersive user experience filled with a sense of live existence. As all procedures are handled by open systems and AI, the requirement for devoted studios, systems, and specialized workers– typically needed for in place broadcasting– is gotten rid of. This intends to promote a low-cost, flexible video circulation service deployable at varied occasion locations.

This presentation is being performed in line with the federal government’s “Watt-Bit Concept.” It will develop a Local 5G-enabled Physical AI-controlled real-time streaming system within a live functional environment for the “KYOJO CUP” last race. This is attained by connecting CPU servers set up at Fuji Speedway with remote GPU servers situated at power business substations and sales workplaces.

System setup

The System’s setup is as follows:

Telemetry information and 4K video from telemetry systems and in-car cams set up on 22 taking part formula automobiles will be moved to CPU servers within Fuji Speedway through the released Local 5G network. This information is then saved in “Tsurugi,” an ultra-high-speed relational database (RDB). Simultaneously, Tsurugi will relate to “GeoCLOVER”– a spatiotemporal information platform that holds Fuji Speedway’s 3D circuit information– and call remote GPUs linked by means of an optical network. From the saved telemetry information, 4K video, and in-venue 3D information, Physical AI will immediately identify “which footage is most exciting.” Based upon this AI judgment, Tsurugi will provide proper guidelines to customer applications, providing “the most exciting footage” to users in real-time.

About each core innovation

About Local 5G:

Wireless interaction for high-speed mobile things needs accurate synchronization with base station signals, smooth handover in between base stations, and steady bandwidth allowance. The IIJ Group has actually been actively performing Local 5G confirmation for formula cars and truck races, and it is anticipated that the information interaction network developed for this job will show adequately useful and beneficial. The application of Local 5G innovation is seeing increasing need in the OT (Operational Technology) sector of making websites and as an additional interaction suggests for momentary occasion locations. We intend to broaden its release throughout different fields as a service for developing information interaction networks independent of traditional smart phone networks.

About APN (All-Photonics Network) and optical NIC:

APN makes it possible for low-latency transmission of big volumes of information by processing optical signals from sender to receiver without conversion. This presentation uses APN to accomplish real-time AI processing and recognize the Watt-Bit Concept, a tactical structure that connects electrical energy grids (“watts”and telecoms(“bits”to enhance energy usage and computing power. Furthermore, 1Finity will present optical NICs, presently under advancement and set up for release in October 2026. By utilizing optical NICs, servers situated over 100 km apart can be straight linked through optical signals without the requirement for standard L2/L3 switches or routers. This accomplishes even more low latency and reducing efficiency deterioration throughout long-distance interaction through a special system.

About Tsurugi:

At the core of the System is “Tsurugi,” a Japanese-made ultra-high-speed RDB. Nautilus Technologies is accountable for the assistance and architectural style of this system. Tsurugi is a Japanese-made open-source next-generation RDB established with NEDO’s assistance, using first-rate efficiency while making sure end-to-end assistance and production within Japan. It is likewise a leader in AI combination, consisting of assistance for MCPs, and includes a system to perfectly use remote GPUs from the RDB as user-defined functions (UDFs). This makes it extremely suitable with low-latency AI, which is among its essential qualities.

About AI:

Ghelia is accountable for the execution and arrangement of AI. The ultra-low latency AI scoring released in this presentation is defined by its capability to integrate in-car telemetry and video information and immediately compute the scene’s enjoyment level in real-time. By incorporating external understanding grounding with video linkage, and carrying out an extensive ranking of scenes that resonate with viewers’ feelings, this system is placed as a Physical AI that links acknowledgment outcomes to decision-making in the physical area. Progressing, its application will broaden to support actions in the real world, such as race group technique preparation and chauffeur help.
