Cerevo has released a comprehensive update for its entire range of LiveShell live streaming devices. The update includes fixes for every LiveShell device and LiveShell X has added functions such as multi-streaming “play & stop” and displaying SD card recording capacity.

LiveShell X
https://s.cerevo.com/x

The update is available for all four LiveShell devices – LiveShell, LiveShell 2, LiveShell PRO and LiveShell X as well as LiveWedge.

Specific fixes and enhancements include –

• For all devices, a fix for when connected to the Internet the device would show as offline in Dashboard and could not be operated.
• For all devices except LiveShell, a vertical crop at 9:16 aspect ratio is available so that vertical video from smartphones can now be broadcast.

LiveShell X has been enhanced with new Dashboard functions in addition to the device update. Controls have been simplified so that a button which can start and stop multiple live streaming services at the same time is now available. This makes it unnecessary to open individual tabs of each streaming service to start and stop live streaming. In addition, we added streaming settings buttons for each streaming service tab which simplifies settings changes for each streaming service.

For LiveShell X recording functions, microSD card capacity will now be displayed when inserted into the main unit. Also, when a microSD card is not inserted and you try to perform a recording operation, you get an alert telling you that a card is not inserted.

In the Custom Settings screen for advanced configuration, text descriptions of streaming specifications and restrictions are now listed.

The outline of the restrictions is as follows –

• The resolution of channel 0 (the leftmost tab) is the same as the input image and can not be changed
• Crop and aspect ratio can not be changed on channel 0
• H.265 is effective only when streaming in recording or RTSP mode

Finally, streams not used in audio settings are displayed as grayed out so that you can see at a glance which stream you are using.For more details on each product, please see their online manuals –

Cerevo Exhibits its IoT Smart Toy, DOMINATOR at Lucca Comics & Games: Edizione 2016

Cerevo, an Internet connected consumer electronics developer and creator based in Tokyo, Japan, exhibited its first smart toy, DOMINATOR, a fully mechanized, transforming replica of the gun used in the hit anime PSYCHO-PASS (©PSYCHO-PASS Committee) at Lucca 2016 in Tuscany、Italy from 28th October – 1st November, 2016.

http://dominator.cerevo.com

Lucca Comics & Games is the largest European exposition that showcases manga, anime, games, SF and fantasy every year from late October to early November in the town of Lucca,  Tuscany, Italy. Major Japanese manga/anime titles, merchandising items and original drawings were displayed and sold, also cosplayers and artists performed in Japan Town as fans gathered from all over the world at Lucca Comics & Games.

Cerevo displayed and demonstrated DOMINATOR which has been created under the supervision of Production I.G director Naoyoshi Shiotani and Nitroplus designer Makoto Ishiwata. DOMINATOR features characteristics identical to the devices seen in PSYCHO-PASS such as automatic transformation, voiceover and sound effects, authentic LED lighting, touch sensor activation, Crime Coefficient analysis and more.

We showcased both the Standard Edition and Special Edition DOMINATOR as well the customized display stand and protector case official accessories at Japan Town. Cerevo intends to expand its brand awareness among PSYCHO-PASS fans overseas and reinforce Cerevo’s enginnering excellence and the fascination that smart toys can bring about by enabling users to become connected while playing.

Guests of all ages experienced DOMINATOR during the expo and they all said FIGATA!! (Cool!) Some guests mentioned they will watch the anime “PSYCHO-PASS“ after trying out DOMINATOR and everyone at Cerevo hopes their fascination will grow over time!  Thank you so much for all the fans of “PSYCHO-PASS“ and those who visited us at Lucca Event!  – Kaori, one of the product team members and from team Cerevo

Cerevo’s impressions: Overall the expo is quite unique; all guests were full of smiles with plenty of cosplayers dressing as they like attending and everyone was keen to experience what was on show. Attendance was diverse with anime fans, tourists and families mixing in an atmosphere that harked back to the middle ages against the backdrop of Lucca’s gothic cathedral and stone streets.
