Before You Get MOVIN: MUST-Read Setup Guide
Before using MOVIN, there are several important guidelines you should know to ensure optimal performance. Please review the details below before getting started.
Tips Before You Begin:
Please prepare a tripod and mount.
For stable use of MOVIN TRACIN, it is essential to install the device at a specific height without shaking. A tripod and mount are not included with MOVIN TRACIN and need to be purchased separately.
Tripod
The setup height is critical for motion quality. For the MT-20, optimal results are achieved at 85cm above the ground, while for the MT-110, the recommended height is 50cm.
We recommend using tripods such as the SLIK PRO AL-323.
Mount
Please check that your selected mount features the required 3/8-inch thread specifications.
If you need to frequently attach and detach MOVIN TRACIN, a quick release system like the iFootage Seastar Q1S is recommended.
Connect MOVIN TRACIN to your computer directly with the Ethernet cable.
Always follow the sequence below when powering on the MOVIN TRACIN device.
Use the provided Ethernet cable to connect MOVIN TRACIN directly to your computer.
Avoid connecting through routers or network devices, as this may cause the communication errors.
If your computer does not have enough Ethernet ports, use a USB to Ethernet Adapter to maintain a direct connection.
Connect the power cable to MOVIN TRACIN.
MOVIN TRACIN requires continuous power supply. If you're planning longer sessions, make sure your computer has its own dedicated outlet as well.
Wait about 1 to 1.5 minutes until the front green indicator stays steady.
If the indicator does not turn on or continues blinking, unplug and replug the power cable. This reset process usually resolves most power-related issues.
Motion capture Actor should wear non-reflective, fitted clothing.
Motion capture actor should avoid wearing reflective clothing or footwear.
Please wear fitted clothing and tie up long hair to prevent interference.
Loose or dynamic elements like oversized outfits, lace or flowing fabrics, dangling jewelry, or free-moving hair may negatively affect motion capture performance.
The motion capture space must be at least 1m away from the device and completely clear of objects.
Keep at least 1m between the starting point of the motion capture zone and the device.
The maximum size of the mocap zone is 5m (width) x 5m (depth) x 3m (height).
All objects should be removed from the motion capture zone. If this isn’t possible, reduce the zone size in MOVIN Studio accordingly.
Remove any mirrors, Scotch tape, or other reflective surfaces within the mocap zone.
If you're working in environments with unsuitable flooring like below, we recommend using firmly secured floor mats to improve stability and tracking performance.
Uneven textures (e.g. carpets)
Highly reflective materials (e.g. marble, glass)
Soft floors that transmit vibration to the device
Please check the computer meets the performance requirements.
For optimal performance, ensure your computer meets the following specifications:
Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)
Processor: 3.0+ GHz i7 CPU
Memory: 16 GB or higher
Network: Dedicated 1 Gigabit Ethernet port
this port must be separate from your local network port.
To get started, you’ll need to set up and connect both the MOVIN TRACIN hardware and the MOVIN Studio software.
