This lets you configure the settings while viewing live sensor data. Configure everything in preview mode, then select **GO LIVE** to broadcast. Complete three sub-steps in order: **Set capture zones**, **Post-processing**, and **OSC output**. ## Set capture zones
Capture zones over the live point cloud

The two zones over the live scene: cyan (outer) and amber (inner).

1. **Point Cloud Capture Zone** *(cyan, outer)* — the volume streamed as the point cloud. Set the minimum and maximum values for each axis, or drag the box in the viewport. 2. **Motion Capture Zone** *(amber, inner)* — the smaller volume in which people are tracked. It must remain inside the cyan zone. 3. **Zone presets** — save the current layout under a name and reload it for the next show. ## Post-processing
Post-processing — orientation, background removal, and voxelization

World orientation, background removal, and OSC voxelization.

1. **World orientation** — rotate the stage (**Yaw** 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees) or select **Mirror X** so that forward matches your content, then select **Apply**. {% hint style="warning" %} Selecting **Apply** on World orientation restarts the pipeline and clears the learned background. Set the orientation before you learn the background, or run **Re-learn** again afterward — and always before you go live. {% endhint %} 2. **Background removal** — remove points belonging to the static background so that only moving people and props are included in the stream. Select **Re-learn** with the stage clear of people and moving objects (fixed set pieces that belong to the background can stay); the **State** shows `learned` when complete. This is required before you can go live. 3. **OSC voxelization** — downsample the point cloud to reduce the amount of transmitted data. Set the **Voxel size**; the change applies immediately. ## OSC output
OSC output — target, source, and mocap settings

The streaming destination and source, configured before you go live.

1. **OSC output** — the destination: **Target IP** and **Target port**. Select **Send test cue** to send a single test packet. 2. **Source** — select which point cloud is streamed: **all** (the full fused cloud), **zone** (the spatial-zone-filtered cloud), or **human** (only the points on tracked people). Skeleton data is a separate output, set under Motion-capture settings below. 3. **Motion-capture settings**, applied when the pipeline starts — **Mocap backend**, **Max tracked people (slots)**, and the maximum number of tracked people per host. ## Go live
Go Live preflight checklist

The preflight check verifies every requirement before broadcasting starts.

Select **GO LIVE** in the top bar. A preflight check verifies every requirement — Connect sensors, Calibrate sensors, Set capture zones, Post-processing, and OSC output — and shows **READY** when all of them are complete. Select **Continue**, then **GO LIVE** to start broadcasting. The workspace switches to Live Monitor. Allow 5–15 seconds for the system to warm up. {% hint style="warning" %} If **GO LIVE** remains disabled, the preflight check identifies the incomplete step. Most often this is background removal, which has not yet been learned. Select **Re-learn** first. {% endhint %} ## After going live The workspace switches to **Live Monitor**, a view-only dashboard for the running show. See [Running a show](/movin-tracin-stage-en/running-a-show/running-a-show.md). {% hint style="info" %} Live Settings remains editable while you are live — return to it any time to adjust the zones, post-processing, or OSC output. Some changes apply immediately, others on the next Restart; see [What you can change while live](/movin-tracin-stage-en/running-a-show/running-a-show.md). Only Calibration is locked. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.movin3d.com/movin-tracin-stage-en/setup/live-settings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
