Let's Get MOVIN: First Steps to Start
Before using MOVIN, there are several important guidelines you should know to ensure optimal performance. Please review the details below before getting started.
Some YOU MUST KNOW Before you begin :
You need tripod and mount for the MOVIN TRACIN. Tripod and Mount is not included with MOVIN TRACIN.
Tripod : The setting height(85cm from the ground) is really important for the motion quality. We highly recommend to use SLIK PRO AL-323.
Tripod Mount : This one iFootage Seastar Q1S Quick Release System is good.
Mocap zone starts from at least 1m away from the device.
The size of your mocap zone can be adjustable to 5m x 5m.
Device Turn-On Sequence (Important!)
Connect the LAN cable to the device.
Connect the power cable.
Check for the green indicator light from your device.
Launch the app.
⚠️ Always follow this order when powering on the device.
If something goes wrong or the indicator light blinks :
Unplug and replug the power cable.
Wait until the green indicator light stays steady.
Then try again, the issue should be resolved.
Your data stays saved – even if you close the app.
Calibrated ‘Actor’ data and recorded ‘Clip’ data will persist even after quitting the app or powering off the device — unless you delete them manually.
This is the first step toward full scene-saving functionality, which will be supported in future updates.
Tips Before You Begin:
Motion Capture Space
The maximum size of the mocap zone is 5m (width) × 5m (depth) × 3m (height).
To accommodate this, you’ll need additional clearance space beyond the mocap zone:
At least 1 meter of extra space on each side (width),
2 meters at the front and back (depth),
And 0.3 meters or more above (height).
These are minimum clearances, so we recommend securing an even larger space for smooth and uninterrupted capture.
The mocap zone must be completely clear of objects. If this isn’t possible, reduce the zone size in MOVIN Studio accordingly.
If you're working in environments with unsuitable flooring, such as:
Uneven textures (e.g. carpets),
Highly reflective materials (e.g. marble, glass),
Or soft floors that transmit vibration,
we recommend using firmly secured floor mats to improve stability and tracking performance.
Remove any mirrors, Scotch tape, or other reflective surfaces within the mocap zone.
Also, ensure that the space includes at least one available power outlet.
MOVIN TRACIN requires continuous power supply.
If you're planning longer sessions, make sure your computer has its own dedicated outlet as well.
Motion Capture Performer
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.
Motion Capture Computer
For optimal performance, ensure your computer meets the following specifications:
Operating System: Windows 10–11 (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.
Additional Notes
MOVIN Tracin’s maximum power consumption is 60W (12V DC).
To get started, you’ll need to set up and connect both the MOVIN TRACIN hardware and the MOVIN Studio software.
