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.

Currently, live video and recording using multiple cameras is often used in professional fields such as the broadcast industry, so standard tally lamp systems are expensive and in general are sold as peripheral equipment compatible with specific video switchers.

Due to the performance improvement and lower price of HD video cameras, as well as the spread of live distribution services, environments where professional quality video recording and live streaming using multiple cameras are being used is expanding. So by using FlexTally, not only professional users but also semi-professional and amatuer users have greater opportunities to develop high quality programs and broadcasts.

In 2009 Cerevo launched a device that enabled full-scale live streaming at an affordable price, CEREVO CAM supported the world’s first live streaming service Ustream and brought live streaming to a new generation of broadcasters. Since then Cerevo has been constantly developing new live streaming devices such as the LiveShell series, that can deliver HD broadcasting without using a PC and LiveWedge, a video switcher, mixer and recorder with live streaming functions.

FlexTally is a tally lamp system designed for easy operability and available at a price range that means even small studios or streaming sites can look to add it to their multi-camera setups. FlexTally can be used via either wired or wireless connections for added convenience and its built-in battery allows for portability and use in remote shooting locations.

Main features

FlexTally consists of a station unit that connects to LiveWedge and four lamp units that are to be attached to each camera. Each lamp illuminates automatically according to the LiveWedge switching operation. Built-in batteries in the lamps eliminate the need for multiple power cables.

It uses the 433 MHz wireless which is resistant to obstacles and interference from other wireless signals, so a communication distance of 100m or greater can be achieved. The wired connection uses a standard RS-485 serial connection, so it is possible use cables several hundred meters in length without issues. In addition, it is also possible to daisy chain connections through terminal blocks ), enabling even longer connections as needed.

If you use FlexTally in combination with Cerevo’s live streaming switcher LiveWedge, no advanced setup is required and users can easily complete installation without special knowledge of video equipment or network connections. In addition, FlexTally is compatible with other brands’ switchers, as well as Cerevo’s own LiveWedge switcher.*

FlexTally uses high brightness LEDs and the 6 hour battery life of each lamp unit means it can be used outdoors in remote shooting locations where power may not be readily available. Also extra lamps can be added, making it possible to connect up to 32 lamp units to one station. Cerevo plans to make available lamps for purchase separately.

^* Blackmagic Design’s switchers will be supported.

Weltweit lässt sich konstatieren, dass Unternehmen “ihre Angestellten darin bestärken, mit dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit zu kommen, was die Gesundheit und Fitness fördert und Umweltverschmutzung reduziert.” Dieser Trend hat seinen Ursprung in Großbritannien und schwappt über auf andere europäische Regionen, wie jüngste Berichte und Nachrichten zeigen: “Report – Impact of the cycle to work scheme”, “Cycle To Work scheme will continue, government’s Autumn Statement confirms” Auch in Japan versucht eine Anzahl von Unternehmen, die sich über Gesundheitsfragen und Umweltbelange Gedanken machen, die Fahrt zur Arbeit mit dem Fahrrad zu fördern. (http://www.cyclesports.jp/depot/detail/63385)

Mit der neu hinzugekommenen Lösung können Unternehmen für geprüfte Sicherheit auf dem Weg zur Arbeit ihrer Fahrrad fahrenden Mitarbeiter sorgen und sich gleichzeitig der Notwendigkeit zur Reduzierung der CO2 Emissionen, die durch die Fahrt zur Arbeit anfallen, annehmen. Die RIDE-1 Lösung zielt auf die Belange des Personals ab, um damit kleine und große Unternehmen anzusprechen, zusätzlich zu Konsumenten, die sich entschlossen haben, mit dem Rad zur Arbeit zu fahren und semi-professionellen Fahrern. Sie stellt eine breite Auswahl an Daten bereit, die von Cerevos RIDE-1 mit hochentwickelten internen Sensoren gesammelt werden, für eine sicherere, bessere, mehr Freude bereitende und effizientere tägliche Fahrradfahrt und kommt zusammen mit einer verbesserten Applikation für Smartphones, die auf SAPs HANA zurückgreift.

Cerevo geht davon aus, dass die RIDE-1 Lösung, ausgestattet mit einem 9-Achsen-Sensor, Sensoren für Temperatur, Atmosphärendruck und Helligkeit, sowie GPS, dafür sorgen kann, dass das Radfahren zur Arbeit sicherer, gesünder und umweltfreundlicher wird. Sie bietet:
Aufzeichnung meiner Fahrradperformance

• Zahl der gefahrenen Kilometer
• Ranking in Echtzeit
• virtuelles Rennen
  • Standortbestimmung in Echtzeit
• Störungsalarm in Echtzeit
• Alarm bei überhöhter Geschwindigkeit in Echtzeit
• Kalorienverbrauch
• CO2 Emissionsersparnis

Systemarchitektur der neuen Cycle-to-Work-Lösung, verknüpft mit SAP HANA

SAP HANA bietet einen kostengünstigen Zugang zu Hochgeschwindigkeitsdatennetzwerken – und erweitert so erheblich die Reichweite und Benutzerfreundlichkeit der RIDE-1-Applikation von Cerevo. Cerevo ist außerdem berechtigt zur Datenspeicherung, Datenverarbeitung, Analyse und Fernzugriff auf Geräte. Die Technologien des SAP IoT Datenmanagements stellen sicher, dass Cerevo die richtigen Daten zur richtigen Zeit sammeln kann, selbst wenn die Verbindung unterbrochen sein sollte. Dabei wird auf In-Memory-Systeme zurückgegriffen, um große Datenmengen von tausenden Geräten zu verarbeiten.

Pilotanwendung der neuen Cycle-to-Work-Applikation für Tablets, unterstützt durch SAP HANA

SAP HANA ermöglicht es Cerevo, die Flexibilität der Cloud in die Datenverwaltungsumgebung von RIDE-1 einzubinden. Dies sorgt für eine bessere Stabilität bezüglich der Arbeitsauslastung und hilft Cerevo dabei, noch einfacher noch digitaler zu werden. Die SAP HANA Plattform hilft Cerevo auf dem Markt weiter voranzukommen, durch Innovation und ohne die solide Basis zu gefährden, auf welcher die Firma den RIDE-1-Service betreibt. Ein Beispiel dafür ist das Feature “graph data processing”, welches Cerevo erlaubt, Datenverbindungen zu visualisieren, um komplexe Beziehungen zwischen Menschen, Orten und Dingen zu verstehen.

Visualize your sports activity – REC-1, a sports camera with a small mountable companion sensor now available globally

LOG-1, a small companion sensor can also be purchased separately

Cerevo, an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer, is pleased to announce the global launch of REC-1, the newest member of its XON series of smart-sports devices. REC-1 is a full HD sports camera that is bundled with a small external sensor. The bundle will be available today for pre-order at the Official Cerevo Store for US$299/€299 (Incl.VAT), and the product is currently scheduled to ship in May.  Also the external sensor will be available separately as a single unit without REC-1 under the name LOG-1 for US$89/€99 (Incl.VAT) and is scheduled to ship in April. Both packages will be available on Amazon.com later this Spring.

XON REC-1/LOG-1
https://xon.cerevo.com/en/rec-1/

Sports cameras that are compact and lightweight and can be attached to competitors and vehicles have become widespread in the last few years and have to be used in various sports and activities such as automobile racing, survival games, soccer and tennis. In addition, technologies for visualizing sports using data analysis are also being used in professional sports, data is acquired from sensors attached to athletes and sporting goods, not only for spectators and TV viewers, but also for athletes themselves to analyze and improve their performance.

We developed REC-1 with the aim of further visualizing sports through an interface that intuitively uses methods from the professional sports world, all at an affordable price range.

Also, in response to the need for comprehensive data collection, REC-1 is bundled with a mountable sensor outside the camera. When sensors are built into the camera body, the data that can be acquired is greatly affected by the installation location of the camera, so there is a possibility that the data acquired is not you originally required. By installing the camera in a position that captures human viewpoint such as on a helmet or goggles, then separately installing the sensor in a location such as a motorcycle wheel or car suspension, REC-1 can meet the needs of sports experts with precise data overlaid onto video.

REC-1

REC-1 is a full HD sports camera equipped with Wi-Fi. In addition to shooting video at a maximum of 1080/60p and still images at up to 2304×1728 pixels, REC-1 can also stream video to a smartphone and start or stop recording remotely. So even if you attach it to a place which is difficult to reach, if you have a smartphone you can operate it remotely.

Data such as speed, inclination and temperature are recorded by the external sensor. By connecting the camera and sensor to a PC, using our free dedicated software, you can superimpose the data acquired onto the captured video and easily create sports videos with the captured data. In addition, we plan to integrate other XON series products such as RIDE-1 and ORBITREC with the movie data.

Alongside IPX4 equivalent water-resistance, REC-1 is equipped with a physical slide type switch to easily start recording while wearing gloves and a tubular body suitable for mounting on bikes and bicycles. The battery can be removed and exchanged while REC-1 is mounted and with built-in GPS, you can record routes and speed data even without using the external sensor.

LOG-1

LOG-1 is a compact sensor device with 6-axes (acceleration / angular velocity), temperature, pressure and magnetism sensors and has an IPX4 equivalent waterproof rating for use in a variety weather conditions just like REC-1. LOG-1 has a tripod hole on the bottom of the main unit and can be attached to various sports devices using the bundled mounting tool or to a camera using commercially available camera mounts. LOG-1 can also be fixed to individual competitors using the included belt attachment.

By attaching the enclosed magnet to a rotating object such as a wheel and using the magnetic sensor of LOG-1, you can acquire the rotational speed of a bicycle crank, car tire and more. The magnetic sensor can switch between cycle acquisition mode and state acquisition mode. So it is also possible to acquire on/off information on physical switches that is difficult to acquire with an acceleration sensor alone.

The main body of LOG-1 measures an extremely compact 40×55×12 mm and weighs only 28 grams, meaning it can easily be attached to various sports equipment. Using CR2032 batteries results in a long battery life of more than 19 hours of continuous use and easy replaceability. Because LOG-1 can keep recording data for multiple days on a single battery, you do not need to remove or install new batteries or turn on/off power, even for sports competitions that take place over several days.

By connecting camera and sensor to a PC, using our free dedicated software, you can superimpose the data acquired on the captured video and easily create sports video with the captured data.

In addition to REC-1, data from LOG-1 can be combined with movies shot with other companies camera’s (operation confirmed with GoPro series, Sony Action Cam and iPhone). Also, it is possible to overlay data acquired by multiple LOG-1s onto one movie.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3th January 2017, Las Vegas

Debuting at CES 2017 – ”Taclim”, The World’s First VR Shoes and Gloves, with Built-in Tactile Devices
– A Unity Plug-in allows developers to create content using Taclim as an input and output device –

Cerevo, an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, announces Taclim, the world’s first VR shoes and gloves, with built-in tactile devices for haptic feedback.

Taclim
https://taclim.cerevo.com

Prototypes will be exhibited at CES Unveiled on 3rd January and at CES 2017 which runs from 5th to 8th January  in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Taclim is scheduled to be available for purchase in Autumn 2017 at a price between US$1,000 to 1,500.

Taclim is a set of VR shoes and gloves that are capable of detecting user movements as input and translating in-VR action to real world haptic output. Cerevo has specially developed customized tactile devices in collaboration with Nidec Seimitsu Corp., there are total of eight state-of-the-art tactile devices in the shoes and gloves. In enabling haptic feedback for the user’s hands and feet according to images and sounds in a VR space, users become more engrossed, resulting in increased immersion above and beyond what is currently experienced visually and aurally when in a VR world.

Since the built-in tactile devices can freely change the strength of feedback, a sense of stepping on different ground in a VR space such as desert, grassland, water and more can be achieved via haptic feedback. Also, the 9-axis sensor built into the shoes and gloves functions as an input device to capture movement to reflect actions in the VR space.

At CES 2017 where Taclim’s first public release prototypes will be displayed, Cerevo will show a VR game demonstration “Taclim demonstration with Headbutt Factory”, newly developed for Taclim based on a new PlayStation®VR game title “Headbutt Factory”, developed by Gemdrops Inc. which is scheduled to be released at the end of January 2017. The title is planned to be offered free of charge when Taclim is released.

The development environment for Taclim is provided as a Unity plug-in, allowing developers to freely develop content using Taclim as an input/output device. You can also create your own tactile data by defining basic haptic feedback as sample data, or by importing files in WAV format.

Taclim will be available in 2 different versions to take advantage of different wireless connectivity environments. Alongside the Bluetooth version which allows for wide compatibility with existing standards, a Sub-GHz version will be available, utilizing the Sub-GHz band to ensure stable communication performance even in crowded wireless traffic environments, such as events with large numbers of people.

https://ride1.cerevo.com/

RIDE-1’s built in communication features include ANT+, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, in addition to various sensors such as GPS. Unlike traditional cycle computers that only record running data attached to a bicycle, the characteristics of RIDE-1 allow riding data to be shared and analyzed by linking with smartphones and the cloud.

■Recording Riding Data
RIDE-1 features a 9 axis sensor, temperature, atmospheric pressure and brightness sensors as well as GPS. In addition to basic information such as riding route location and velocity, frame status such as lean and impact can be recorded by the main unit. When combined with a smartphone using Bluetooth, the riding log history can be viewed in real time turning your smartphone into a cycling computer.

■ANT+ Collaboration

RIDE-1 supports ANT+ technology, which is widely used as a wireless connection standard for fitness devices, Bluetooth is also available to communicate with other devices and services. Data on third-party sensors that are compatible with ANT+ can be imported into RIDE-1 ^(*1) and recorded and viewed on the cloud through RIDE-1. In addition, users can operate devices which support ANT+ by using RIDE-1, for example, automatically turning on an ANT+ compatible light when it gets dark.^(*2)

■Data Management in the Cloud
RIDE-1 has built-in IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN connectivity. You can connect to the Internet via wireless LAN and upload data saved on RIDE-1 to a dedicated web service provided by Cerevo. After uploading, data can be viewed on either a PC or smartphone using a web browser, or on the companion smartphone application, making it possible to look back on past riding data and analyze it.

■Live Telemetry Function
Using the 3G/LTE connection on your smartphone, you can share riding data in real time via the cloud. RIDE-1 is not only useful for informing family and friends of your location while riding, but also can record and make available body data such as the position of riders running, heart rate and power value to the accompanying support car or technical pit crew. Advanced bicycle riders can use the real time telemetry data to get feedback on their performance and progress.

■Group Function
It is possible to group registration of multiple RIDE-1 devices and view live telemetry from multiple riders. During cycling with a riding group, team mates or friends, you can check in real time information about your group’s current progress. You can also use the RIDE-1 group function to check current location on the way to a meeting place.

■Open Source
Cerevo plans to offer multiple resources for third-party developers with open source licenses such as the 3D CAD data of RIDE-1 and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity specifications. An API is also planned, which can be used for exporting RIDE-1 data and incorporating it into other applications.

Specifications

※1 Factors such as speed, cadence and heart-rate are supported at release. In the future, power meters will be supported.
※2 Will be supported in a future update.
