Stage 2 · Settings

Entering Settings starts the pipeline in preview mode (off-air): the sensors stream, but no OSC output is sent yet. Allow 5–15 seconds for the system to warm up — the view may appear empty for a moment. This stage lets you configure everything while viewing live sensor data, then select GO LIVE to broadcast.

Complete three sub-steps in order: Set capture zones, Post processing, and OSC output.

Set capture zones

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

1. Point cloud capture zone (cyan, outer) — the volume used when Source is zone. Set the minimum and maximum values for each axis, or drag the box in the viewport. all sends the full fused cloud without this crop.

2. Motion capture zone (amber, inner) — the smaller volume used by the human source and motion-capture tracking. It must remain inside the cyan zone.

3. Zone presets — save the current layout under a name and reload it for the next show.

If the two zones are exactly the same size, only one box is visible in the viewport. A note appears with a Pad capture zone button that expands the outer zone so both boxes can be seen and edited.

Post processing

World orientation, background removal, voxelization, and motion smoothing.

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. It applies immediately; the capture zones turn with the stage, but the background must be learned again afterward.

2. Background removal — learns and removes static points from the human source and motion-capture input. It does not change all or zone. Select Learn now (or Re-learn) with the stage clear of people and moving objects — fixed set pieces that belong to the background can stay. The status shows the learning progress, then learned. This is required before you can go live.

3. Point cloud voxelization — downsample the point cloud to reduce the amount of transmitted data. Turn it on and set the Voxel size; the change applies immediately.

4. Motion smoothing — smooths the tracked motion. Drag the Strength slider (0–100%); the change applies immediately.

OSC output

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

1. OSC output — set the Target IP, Target port, and point-cloud Source, then select Apply. Test connection only checks that the address can be reached.

2. Mocap on start — set Max tracked people (slots). The host's slot limit appears below it; the change applies on the next pipeline start or restart.

Source: all sends the full fused cloud, zone sends the cloud inside the cyan zone, and human sends the background-removed branch inside the amber zone. Skeleton data is a separate mocap output.

Only a shape large enough to be a person is tracked. Small props — a ball, a stand, a case — stay in the point cloud and never take a tracked-people slot. For the same reason, a person standing very far from the sensors, or mostly hidden behind scenery, may not be picked up. Contact your MOVIN support team if that happens on your stage.

Go live

The readiness check verifies every requirement before broadcasting starts.

Select GO LIVE in the top bar. A panel checks Connect sensors, Calibrate sensors, Set capture zones, Post processing, and OSC output. When it shows READY, select GO LIVE in the panel. Broadcasting starts and the workspace switches to Live.

If the panel shows NOT READY, it names the incomplete step. Most often this is background removal, which has not yet been learned — select Learn now first.

After going live

The workspace switches to Live, primarily a monitoring screen for the running show. Source and Recording remain available there. See Running a show.

Settings remains editable while you are live — return to it any time to adjust the zones, post-processing, or OSC output. Most changes apply immediately; see What you can change while live. Only Calibration is locked.
