F�A�QWhat kind of tripod do I need ?Youneedatripodwitha3/8»screw.Itisbiggerthantheusual1/4’’screwgenerallyusedforcameras.Donotusea tripodwithahead,becauseofpoor stability (exceptveryhighcosttripods!)andbecauseithasa1/4’’screw.

Is it possible to plug PIXIO and the micro-beacons to a wall socket ? Do they work or do they only recharge ?PIXIOandthemicro-beaconscanbepluggedinawallsocket,and theywork. It is a solution for filmingall daylong,andalsotoinstallPIXIOatafixedplace.

Does PIXIO have an automatic tilt ?PIXIOhasamanualtiltyoucansetbeforefilming.Formostactivityonalevelground,youdon’tneedtheautomatictilt. As an example, refer to this video takenwith PIXIOfromthestadiumstands,abovethearena:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLNN-ya_lIw

Is it possible to live stream the video taken with PIXIO ?Yes,theHDMIplugofthecameracanbeusedtohavethevideoinrealtime,andmanyproviderscanlivestreamthisvideo.Recentcamerasalsohavealivestreamoptionthroughyoursmartphone.

What is the connection needed on camera to have the automatic zoom and the REC control from the watch ?The cameraplug is called «Multi» or «LANC» or «A/V-R»depending on the model. The models listed on thewebsitearecompatiblewithPixio,theothersmaynotbe

compatible.Somenon-listedmodelsarecompatibleduetotheirsimilaritieswithcompatiblemodels,donothesitatetoaskusandwewillcheck.

I have a DSLR; Is it compaible with PIXIO ?Any DSLR can be mounted on Pixio. But DSLRs do nothaveamotorized zoom. The zoomwill remain fixed.Becarefull that DSLRs generally do not have autofocus invideomode,sothevideomaybeblurry.

Where do I get the mechanical interface to allow smartphone and tablet to be used for filming ?You need a common adaptor between Pixio and thesmartphoneortablet.Itisgenerallycalled«smartphone/tablettripodadaptor».Itcostsafewdollarsandcanbefoundeasily.

With a tablet or smartphone, do I have the automatic zoom and the REC control from the watch ?No.AtabletorsmartphonedoesnothaveanyplugforzoomandrecordremotecontrolbyPIXIO.

Is it possible to use the HDMI port of the camera for video recording or streaming, or is it disturbed by the zoom and REC control from PIXIO ?ItispossibletousetheHDMIportwhilePIXIOiscontrollingthe zoomand theREC through the specificplug (multi,LANC,orA/V-R).HDMIplugisnotusedbyPIXIO.

Is it necessary to measure everything manually in detail to

34

set-up the beacons at precise locations ?No.ItisliketheGPS:youdon’tneedtoknowthepositionof each satellites, it is automatic. Just put the 3micro-beacons somewhere around your playground, switchthemon,andyouaredone.

Is it an issue if I go outside the area set-up by the beacons?No.Youcangooutsidetheareasetupbythebeaconsandstillbeframed.Andofcourseifyouaregoingtoofarthecamerawilllooseyou,anditwillfindyouagainwhenyoucomeback.
