# Quick reference

**Open the workspace** in a browser on the control computer. On a kiosk machine, it opens automatically.

**Top bar:** the system status word (**SETUP**, **READY**, **STANDBY**, **LIVE**, or **FAULT**), the status indicators (Sensors, Calibration, People, OSC, and Rec), and the controls (**GO LIVE** / **END LIVE**, **Restart** and **Stop pipeline** while the pipeline runs, and the **⋯** menu with the server controls).

**The three stages, in order:**

1. **Calibration** — detect the sensors, then calibrate.
2. **Settings** — set the zones, configure post-processing, and set the OSC output. The pipeline starts in preview mode (off-air) when you enter this stage — there is no separate start button. With the stage empty, complete **Background removal → Learn now** before going live.
3. **Live** — broadcasting is active. **Source** and **Recording** remain available; everything else is set back in Settings.

**Calibration wizard:** Setup, First calibration, Refine calibration, Select axis, World alignment, and Save.

**Zone colors:** cyan is the point cloud capture zone used by **Source: zone**; amber is the motion capture zone used by **Source: human** and mocap, and must remain inside cyan. **Source: all** bypasses both zones and background removal.

**Calibration lock:** the lock icon (🔒) appears once the pipeline is running. Stop the pipeline to edit the calibration again.

**Going live:** open **Settings** (the preview starts, off-air), then **GO LIVE** — a readiness list, then broadcast. **END LIVE** stops the OSC output and returns you to Settings — you can go live again right away. **Stop pipeline** stops all show processing.

**Recording:** in the Live stage, select **Recording → Record**, then **Stop**. Select **Open folder** to find the file.

# 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/reference/quick-reference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
