Philosophy

Lambda Systems has been a pioneer of on-air graphics systems since its founding in 1984, and has seen its business grow on the strength of consistent hardware and software development.
We don’t just offer high-quality and user-friendly products; we also always stand by our customers. Going forward, we will continue to meet their needs reliably with innovative, flexible customization and full-scale support.
We value an attitude of taking on new technologies with limitless imagination, and hope to produce sustained development by leveraging our rich experience and achievements.

In January of 2006, the company became a member of Core Group, which specializes in embedded software development. We have been working primarily on technology development synergies ever since.
The company management policies outlined on this site have been newly established as part of our efforts to assimilate with the Core Group, and are positioned as our second founding.
We will make every effort to continue playing an important role for everyone as a business

POLICY 1

To be a creative group with pride

For over 30 years, Lambda Systems has been dedicated to the development of on-air graphics systems. We believe that we provide services that satisfy each and every customer by pursuing the real-time representation of information to its limits. We do this using an integrated system that includes everything from planning and design to development and maintenance.
Since our founding, our enthusiasm for always facing new challenges head-on has never changed, and we will continue to be a proud manufacturing group that is socially conscious and puts customer satisfaction first.

POLICY 2

To create significant added value

By combining our internally-developed hardware products with software that can take advantage of the high functionality of the hardware, and through innovative and flexible customization, we have improved various aspects of our systems. These include points such as the user interface, expressiveness, and quality that leads to stable operation. Our ongoing utility improvements to our on-air graphics systems are one of our efforts to evolve toward increased customer satisfaction.
Lambda Systems consistently creates significant added value through the integration of hardware and software.

POLICY 3

To be a visual solutions company

The knowledge and technology that we have cultivated through the development of on-air graphics systems can be applied to a wide range of other fields, and we aim to build new solutions that are useful for society. In addition to the broadcasting field, we also have a vision of creating infrastructure that enables society to receive useful information through the internet, digital signage, two-way communication, and more. We aim to serve as a visual solutions company while also achieving a high level of sustainable development and social responsibility.

Visual solutions, made possible by Lambda Systems

SoftWare Image

SOFTWARE

Lambda's on-air graphics systems pursue new levels of "expressiveness," "efficiency," and "connectivity" in everything from ordering and production through to revisions and broadcast.
Versatility and high functionality allows for a variety of system configurations, which in turn enables video production that maximizes the expressive impact of each GRID.

HardWare Image

HARDWARE

High-quality hardware that delivers unparalleled expressive capacity.
Peripheral devices developed to work with framebuffer GRIDs (which are used to produce high-quality video) and on-air graphics systems.

Cloud Image

VIRTUALIZATION SOLUTION

By building all software in the cloud and sharing it, customers can access the software anytime and anywhere. It works regardless of whether it's through Windows, Apple devices, tablets, or other systems, which greatly increases accessibility. Furthermore, this makes efficient use of hardware resources, saves on space, and reduces system operating costs.
