●FlexTally

FlexTally is a tally lamp system that consists of one station unit connected to a video switcher and four lamps attached to each camera. One station unit can have up to eight lamps connected (sold separately). When shooting with multiple cameras, such as when recording live programs or live streaming, each FlexTally lamp automatically lights up according to the video switcher’s switching operations, helping the performer to recognize which camera is being used.

Viewership of 24-hour live camera in Akihabara, Japan increases tenfold during the last weekend of March

The number of viewers of the Akihabara Live Camera, a 24-hour-a-day live stream of the Chuo-dori intersection in Akihabara, Japan, increased tenfold on the weekend beginning March 28th, 2020 (JST).

Through the cooperation of Aisan Electric Co., Ltd., the Akihabara Live Camera streams live footage of Akihabara’s Chuo-dori intersection in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The stream airs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year using LiveShell X, a live streaming device developed by Cerevo. It can be viewed for free by anyone on YouTube.

Normally, the stream receives 1,000 to 5,000 views a day. On March 28th, it received over 67,000 views.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, citizens of Tokyo were asked to refrain from leaving their home during the weekend. Additionally, out-of-season snowfall was observed. It appears that these factors increased people’s interest in what was happening outside, leading to a tenfold increase in viewership.
