Capture the race with sensor data, visualize in real time,　and share to team members instantly

Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, announces a new addition to its XON sports equipment brand.

Cerevo has developed a sensor device with streaming function, ZECH-1, that captures driving conditions with multiple integrated sensors, synthesizes visualized data and camera images in real time, and can live stream video in Full HD.

Cerevo will exhibit ZECH-1 at CES 2019 to be held from January 8, 2019 in Las Vegas. The release of ZECH-1 is scheduled for the summer of 2019 and will cost 999 US dollars. (tax excluded).

https://zech1.cerevo.com/

ZECH-1 is the fifth product from Cerevo’s XON smart sports brand. Designed for race teams and participants, it is the first XON product to be equipped with a live streaming function, in addition to sensors which measure the performance data of a
four-wheel race vehicle.

This product is can be attached to a four-wheel race vehicle and connected via the vehicle’s OBD-II connector. Unlike other general data loggers that only record traveling data, visualization information is generated by ZECH-1 in real time and can be live streamed directly, allowing team members to analyze a wealth of data while the vehicle is still on the track.

Moreover, the data from ZECH-1’s built-in 6-axis sensor and GPS, such as position and speed, acceleration, angular velocity, vehicle condition etc can be instantly live　streamed from ZECH-1. It is also possible to record to a microSD card. All of this data is displayed in a graphical overlay to accompany the race video.

Live Telemetry Function

Live data can be streamed in real time, using a 4G/ 3G communication network. You can use the data for creating new race strategies ^(*1) and improve your team’s performance by sharing data such as the position of the race vehicle and current fuel and water temperature to team members in the pit.

(*)Please check the regulations of each circuit and race before using ZECH-1.

Live Streaming Function

With ZECH-1, it is possible to stream to major live streaming services at a resolution of up to 1080/60p or record to a microSD card. Full streaming control is available using the “Dashboard” control panel provided from Cerevo LiveShell series.

Cerevo’s ORBITREC　The Titanium 3D Printed, Integrated Sensor Mounted,
Prestige IoT Bike
Limited production of 10 units worldwide
Exclusive Owners Will Experience a Unique Riding Experience

Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, will be exhibiting and demonstrating ORBITREC, a connected road bike with advanced internal sensors and a 3D printed frame at CES 2019 to be held from 8th to 12nd January 2019 in Las Vegas. There will be a Touch and Try area where visitors can actually ride the ORBITREC bike and experience its performance, visitors can also check out the companion mobile app at Cerevo’s booth.
Cerevo today announces that ORBITREC’s price will be 140,000 US dollars per unit for this fully custom-made bike. By taking precise measurements of your body Cerevo will design the frame to the owner’s exact size and produce it using 3D printer technology, resulting in a bike made exclusively for each owner. The price includes travel and accommodation expenses to Japan to take measurements for your custom frame and also delivery of the bike to you in Japan after completion. We would like to invite you to Japan for this special trip to experience receiving an IoT bike that has been made uniquely for you. Cerevo believes this is a unique opportunity and perfect for rare bicycle collectors and racing bike enthusiasts.

XON ORBITREC
https://orbitrec.cerevo.com/

ORBITREC was produced by Triple Bottom Line (designer Satoshi Yanagisawa’s design unit) DMM.make AKIBA and ABBALab. Originally developed from the concept model DFM01, ORBITREC was born from this collaboration. To enable a customized frame to perfectly fit each individual owner, a 3D printing process combining sintered titanium and carbon fiber tubes has been developed. The customized lightweight frame can be used for personal or professional riding.
Various sensors are built into the bike’s frame, which can receive and send information, creating a ride log while cycling. The big data obtained by ORBITREC and RIDE-1, Cerevo’s smart riding recorder, is then analyzed in the cloud to further help and record your riding. You can also connect to ORBITREC through its companion smartphone application.
ORBITREC features a 9 axis sensor (acceleration, angular velocity, geomagnetism), temperature, atmosphere and illuminance sensors as well as GPS. In addition to basic information such as riding location and velocity, frame status such as lean and impact can be recorded. When combined with the GPS sensor this creates a detailed riding log history that can easily be viewed at any time.
Users can also make the most of the data of other ANT+ compatible sensors by connecting smartphones via Bluetooth.

This product has been made using 3D printing technology and uses 3D printed sintered titanium　joints. As a result, it was possible to mass produce parts with sufficient practical strength using a　3D printer.
RIDE-1 features the same sensors that are built into ORBITREC. By attaching RIDE-1 on an
existing road or cyclocross bike user can experience similar functions to ORBITREC.

The standard package of FlexTally contains one station unit that connects to a video switcher and four lamp units that are to be attached to each camera, each lamp illuminates automatically according to the switching operation. The Tally Lamp System can be used for recording or live streaming with multiple cameras. Without a professional broadcasting studio camera setup, on camera performers or presenters have no way to know which of the multiple cameras is active. Using a tally lamp system, an indicator lamp called a “tally lamp” is set near the lens of each camera and the tally lamp with a pilot lamp to show which camera is active.

If you use FlexTally in combination with Cerevo’s live streaming video switcher LiveWedge, no advanced setup is required and users can easily complete installation without special knowledge of video equipment or network connections. The station unit can be connected to LiveWedge by simply connecting to the same Ethernet network as LiveWedge. It is also possible to connect directly to LiveWedge without going through a router.^*1 In addition, FlexTally is compatible with other brands’ switchers^*2 such as Blackmagic Design’s ATEM series, NewTek’s TriCaster series etc. as well as other switchers that support GPIO-capable connections.

No advanced setup is required to use with Cerevo’s LiveWedge switcher

Built-in batteries in the lamps eliminate the need for multiple power cables. They use the 433MHz wireless band^*3 which is resistant to obstacles and interference from other wireless signals. The wired connection uses a standard RS-485 serial connection.

Lamp unit (subunit)

FlexTally can be used with cables several hundred meters in length and can achieve a communication distance of 100m or greater ^*4 in a wireless environment without issue, and also it is possible to daisy chain connections through terminal blocks.

Cerevo’s Robotic Smart Desk Lamp “Lumigent” will use Alexa Voice Service (AVS)

Cerevo develops proof of concept demonstration of Alexa integration

26th May 2017

Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, announces today that its IoT products will utilize Alexa Voice Service (AVS), which allows connected devices to access Alexa’s built-in voice capabilities.

Cerevo also disclosed that Lumigent, a robotic smart desk lamp with voice recognition and transformation functions, will be Cerevo’s first product to utilize Alexa, Amazon’s cloud-based voice service. Cerevo developed proof of concept demonstration of Alexa Voice Service using Lumigent.
Lumigent recognizes words and automatically performs actions such as lighting and transformation. The main body has a movable axis with four-degree-freedom, and when not in use, it waits in a folded space-saving state. It is equipped with Wi-Fi and an autofocus 8 megapixel camera. The user can automatically capture documents and objects on their desk and save them on a microSD card or the cloud via Wi-Fi. Users can operate Lumigent’s camera with only their voice and there is no need to operate the main unit.

Lumigent plans to use Alexa Skill Kit (ASK) in addition to its original voice recognition engine to create a skill for Amazon Alexa devices such as Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. This skill will enable users to move and transform Lumigent by talking to Amazon Alexa devices.
