USB-GPIO Converter for FlexTally is a converter for using FlexTally with video switchers capable of outputting tally signals via USB. FlexTally supports video switchers via Ethernet, GPIO, and software connections, and now can also make use of USB connections by using this product. The USB-GPIO Converter for FlexTally is currently confirmed to work with three models: Roland V-1HD/V-1 SDI and Lumantek ez-Pro VS4.

FlexTally connected to a V1-HD via USB-GPIO Converter for FlexTally


USB-GPIO Converter for FlexTally allows FlexTally to be used with a compatible video switcher by connecting the Converter’s Type A USB port to the target video switcher via a USB cable, and its GPIO cable to FlexTally’s GPIO port. Connecting it to a tablet*3 using the included micro USB cable also lets you use video switchers such as the V-1HD Remote and externally operated apps together at the same time. Enabling expansion without sacrificing the convenience of app-based video switchers.

Many simple and multifunctional video switchers have become widespread in recent years, increasing the demand for tally lamp systems. FlexTally is currently being sold worldwide in countries such as Japan, the United States, Germany, South Korea, Thailand, and across Europe, and is widely used both personally and professionally.

In receiving our users’ requests, we’ve decided to focus on providing and developing features that satisfy their needs. As a result of this, we’ve postponed the expansion of the number of simultaneously-useable lamps*4, in favor of developing and launching these optional products.

“FlexTally”, a General-Purpose Wireless Tally Lamp System, is Now Compatible with The Software Switcher “vMix”

24th July, 2019

“FlexTally”, a General-Purpose Wireless Tally Lamp System, is Now Compatible with The Software Switcher “vMix”
Wider use is now possible with both hardware and software switchers

Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, has released new firmware on July 24th for the general-purpose wireless tally lamp system “FlexTally” which will now be compatible with the software video switcher “vMix”, made by StudioCoast Pty Ltd. (Headquarters: Australia)

FlexTally
https://flextally.cerevo.com/

FlexTally is a tally lamp system that is shipped as one station unit (base unit) for connecting to a video switcher and four lamp units (portable units) for connecting to cameras. When multiple cameras are used to shoot recording of programs or live streaming, the FlexTally lamp automatically turns on whenever a switching command is detected from the switcher so the people on air can easily identify which camera is being used.

Since its launch, FlexTally has been globally popular among professionals and private users alike because of the ease and convenience to adopt and operate it. At the world’s largest show for media, entertainment and broadcast technology “NAB Show 2019” held in April 2019, we demonstrated switching that was compatible with “vMix”, and now this has been officially released. Using the latest firmware update, all FlexTally units will be compatible with “vMix”, enabling more options to achieve a professional video switching environment.

vMix

Currently, there are 15 types of switchers that have been checked for operability and compatibility with FlexTally, including Cerevo’s own switcher with live streaming functions, LiveWedge. FlexTally is compatible with other brands switchers*1 such as Blackmagic Design’s ATEM series, NewTek’s TriCaster series, as well as other switchers that support GPIO-capable connections. In becoming compatible with “vMix”, a broader use with either hardware or software switchers is now possible.

Using FlexTally with vMix
To use vMix, please update the firmware on your station unit. In addition, if you are using in Ethernet mode, please install version 1.1.0 of the FlexTally Utility application. If you do not use vMix, there is no need to install the firmware update or the newest PC application. For details on usage, please check the online manual.

FlexTally
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.

Since its launch, FlexTally has been well received by professional and individual users around the world for its ease of use and simple operation. It is possible to connect directly to Cerevo’s LiveWedge switcher without going through a router.

Final Production Run of the Smart-Toy “DOMINATOR” this Spring, Last Order Opportunity Coming Soon

27th February, 2019

Final Production Run of the Smart-Toy “DOMINATOR” this Spring
Last Order Opportunity Coming Soon


Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, announces that the final production run of its smart toy DOMINATOR and all the related accessories will happen in Spring 2019. DOMINATOR availability and sales at the Cerevo Official Store will also end when the final production run stock sells out.

DOMINATOR was 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. DOMINATOR can also be connected to the Official Companion App to enable connected features.
DOMINATOR was released for sale in February 2016 and has been purchased all over the world including Japan, US, Europe and Asia, proving popular with many fans of the hit anime PSYCHO-PASS.

Cerevo made the decision to end production of DOMINATOR due to the difficulty in purchasing new parts necessary for the manufacturing of DOMINATOR. In addition, production of related products and accessories will also be terminated. Products to be discontinued are the following –

25th February, 2019

Termination of Service for the
Cloud Listening Device “Listnr”

 


Cerevo Inc., an Internet connected consumer electronics manufacturer based in Tokyo, Japan, announces that it will end the provision of services for the smart microphone “Listnr” at 23:59 on 15th March 2019 (JST).

Listnr
https://listnr.cerevo.com/

Listnr is a compact IoT device that was launched in January 2016 and was developed based on the concept of “emotions become colors.” Equipped with wireless LAN connectivity and a microphone, Listnr collects sounds and uploads them to the cloud for analysis in real time on a dedicated server. In addition, Listnr can detect emotions from infant voices by using the sound recognition engine “xauris” which was developed based on technology provided by Panasonic Corporation.

As a result of last year’s sales discontinuation and low levels of Listnr usage activity, Cerevo will stop the connection function with “xauris” today, and all Listnr related services will stop on Friday, March 15 at 23:59 (JST).

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this termination of service and thank everyone who has used Listnr. We appreciate your patronage and will continue considering the development of home appliances that enrich our lives.

Inquiries
For any questions about Listnr, please contact us via email below.
support-global@cerevo.com

*Our support center is located in Japan, so replies will be sent during Japanese business hours (Japanese timezone is UTC+9).

*Our support center is closed on Japanese holidays.

*We currently do not offer phone support.
