Brightening up the future through the innovations starting from the Osaka Office
The Osaka Office was launched in April 2020 as a CMOS image sensor design and development base for Sony Semiconductor Solutions. It attracts engineers from the Kansai region and is boosting the company’s abilities to design and develop CMOS image sensors for potential markets such as mobile devices and IoT industries.
The Osaka Office pursues a concept, to create an “engineer-first office,” which is new on two accounts, to create a workplace environment that empowers workers. One is that engineers designed the office. The office is an embodiment of their ideas about what arrangements make it easy for them to work. The second point is that it is based on a new working style, known as Activity-based Working (ABW). The idea is that people have choices of places to work in the office, depending on the types of their jobs at hand. It is expected to create a powerful synergy by allowing engineers from different expert areas work together, as well as to stimulate imagination and promote communication in its organic and friendly environment.
Passed the neat reception area, a symbol tree greets you in the display area, and behind this space are various facilities, including a seminar space, a cafe, sofa booths, and diverse rooms. Work benches are equipped with height/angle-adjustable desks, and in the locker room, name plates with facial photos hang on the wall, indicating whether the person is in office–another idea from the engineers. The “engineer-first” concept is also reflected in the area with a variety of chairs, which is useful for having unofficial briefings and meetings, and the booths separated with tall partitions, ideal for jobs that require concentration.
We interviewed the engineers who were involved in the office design, as well as employees working in the office. Based on their stories, we explore the office’s ingenious design and new future possibilities to be realized in this office.

Atomos NINJA V 10.65 was released today with H.265 support which is great for savings space and works well with the Apple M1’s h.265 hardware decoder.
From 10.61 and above there has been a change to the activation process. The system is now based on downloadable token files from my.atomos.com. The process allows you to activate multiple free codecs (Apple ProRes RAW and Avid DNx) and also unlock other new features via paid activation keys.
10.65 adds the ability to Record and play back recorded H.265 HEVC files. This firmware update is free to download and install but to use the H.265 HEVC features you will need to purchase the Activation key from www.atomos.com for $99 USD.
The token can then be downloaded from my.atomos.com and will also be emailed to your registered email address.
All activation keys are for a one time activation and are locked to the registered device you purchased the activation on in your my.atomos.com account.
Upon download, please unzip and copy the activation.bin file to the root of your SSD (Solid State Drive), insert the disk into your Ninja V and press activate when prompted.
