# Setup overview

The workspace has three stages, walked in order from the left navigation. You set up in the first two — **Calibration** and **Settings** — then watch the broadcast in **Live**. Each stage unlocks the next when it is complete; you cannot open a locked stage.

## Before you start

Have the following ready:

* All sensors mounted around the stage — see [Mounting the sensors](/movin-tracin-stage/install-the-hardware/sensor-mounting.md).
* All sensors powered on, connected, and PTP-synced.
* The calibration wand (Regular or Big) within reach.
* Clear walking access to the whole stage.
* Your OSC target — the IP address and port of your lighting console, VJ application, or game engine.

## The three stages

1. [**Calibration**](/movin-tracin-stage/setup/calibration.md) — connect the sensors and align them into one shared 3D scene using the calibration wizard. This is required once per installation, or after a sensor is moved.
2. [**Settings**](/movin-tracin-stage/setup/live-settings.md) — set the tracking zones, configure post-processing, and specify the OSC destination. Entering this stage starts the pipeline in preview mode (off-air), so you can configure everything while viewing live sensor data.
3. **Live** — broadcasting is active; monitor the show. See [Running a show](/movin-tracin-stage/running-a-show/running-a-show.md).

Each stage's guide card points at the next required step with a **Next** button. If a valid calibration from a previous show is already loaded, select **Skip to Settings ›** on the Calibration guide card.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Calibration locks once the pipeline is running.** Entering Settings starts the pipeline, which commits the calibration. The calibration cannot be changed while the pipeline runs. To change it, select the locked Calibration stage (🔒) and confirm that you want to stop the pipeline.
{% endhint %}

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/setup/setup.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.
