“Remote Live” Technology for Yamaha Disklavier Instruments
Status: Previous Site Design
The first iteration of a simple yet feature-rich page to display the revolutionary “Remote Live” technology. When connected to the audio feed, live performances are reproduced on the user’s Disklavier. We are using similar functionality on the Junior Original Concert (annual event) and Yamaha Artist Services, Inc. live video pages.
Challenges
- Created a ASP/jQuery event schedule to automate the Flash/HMTL5 video feed.
- Integrated a mobile optimized remote control to override video feed from the shoot.
- Real time Twitter feed, event calendar, chat, map of connected Disklaviers, etc.
- Information is easy to understand so that any inexperienced Disklavier owner can enjoy effortlessly.
- We are currently standardizing a company-wide event utility that will ultimately control this page and others like it.

RemoteLive (version 2)
Status: Live
The second itteration of an engaging user experience where consumers can connect their Yamaha Disklavier’s to our service which allows them to enjoy live performances reproduced in synch with our streaming video to the Yamaha Disklavier in their own living room.
Challenges
- This site contains an events engine that stores and displays our live performance and rebroadcast schedule
- I constructed the first version of this site myself using simple ASP arrays and functions. That site provided the basis for the current version which our team here at Yamaha constructed in .NET along with my HTML/CSS/jQuery assistance.
- The final jQuery scripts we wrote update the events list in real time
- Just prior to a performance, the jquery invites the viewer to join the broadcast
- Broadcasts are currently presented in Flash video format only (restriction of our 3rd party streaming service)
- Since our jQuery regularly polls the database for changes, we can update event data in real time without requiring the user to reload the page.
- We are recently redesigning this site to incorporate On Demand video and streamlined connection instructions, intro video, etc.
