Plug the USB cables on the USB charger. Recharge the PIXIO robot. Plug one of the USB cables to the plug 5V DC at the back of the PIXIO robot. The corresponding red LED located near the plug lights up during the recharge, and turns off when the robot is charged. To avoid self-discharge of the robot, unplug the robot after the end of the robot charge, turn the robot ON for a few seconds and then turn it OFF before storing it. Recharge the PIXIO micro beacons. Plug USB cables in each one of the micro beacons plug located behind as shown. The red LED of the micro-beacon lights up during the recharge, and turns off when the micro-beacon is charged. 1 Recharge the PIXIO watch. Plug the wireless charger to one of the USB cables connected to the USB charger. Just put the watch on the wireless charger. The red LED of the watch lights up during the recharge, and goes down when the watch is charged. 1 You can also recharge the PIXIO devices with a computer. Connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer. 1 Sometimes the red light flashes at the end of the charge. It is not a problem, the item is charged 6 Getting started 1. SETTING UP YOUR PIXIO 2. SETTING UP THE BEACONS 3. STARTING THE TRACKING 4. STARTING RECORDING 7 Setting up the PIXIO E C I T O N Before using PIXIO for the first time, you must check that the firmware of the PIXIO is up to date (refer page 30), and check that the camera parameters kept in the memory of the robot matches your camera model (refer page 32). 1. Screw the robot on a tripod equipped with a standard 3/8 screw (check that the motor is switched off before screwing or unscrewing the device). 2. Screw your camera, DSLR, smartphone/tablet adaptor to the robot with the 1/4 screw of the PIXIO robot. 3. If you are using a supported model of camera, plug the camera and the robot with the correct cable. There are 3 cable models depending on the camera model:
3 3 2 1 MULTI cable AV/R cable Jack 2.5mm cable A MULTI cable is supplied with your system. You can order an AV/R and/or a Jack 2,5mm cable at https://shop.movensee.com/
8 Setting up the beacons The watch is located by the beacons thanks to triangulation techniques which is why the beacons are essential both INDOOR and OUTDOOR. After screwing the beacons on the mini-tripods, switch ON each beacon by pressing its button turns ON. until the green light Place the PIXIO robot and the 3 beacons around the area you want to film following these instructions:
- Place the beacon n1 as far as possible from the robot (but not more than 330ft or 100m). It will improve the left-right accuracy of the tracking (beacon numbers are written at the back of each beacon).
- Place the beacons n2 on the left of the beacon n1, as seen from the robot.
- The beacon n3 can be placed on the left or on the right of other beacons. The beacon n2 is on the left of the beacon n1, as seen from the robot The beacon n1 is placed as far as possible from the robot 2 1 1 2 3 3 9 The PIXIO robot can also be placed at the middle of the 3 beacons. The beacon n2 is on the left of the beacon n1, as seen from the robot 2 1 The beacon n1 is placed as far as possible from the robot 3 The positions of the beacons are very flexible, but tracking and accuracy are better with proper configurations:
Check that there are direct lines of sight between the beacons, and between the robot and each beacon. Or at least check that any obstacle is small. Keep the robot, the beacons, and the watch at more than 20-30 cm (10 inches) from the walls or from massive metallic parts. Avoid operating near a big electrical transformer, powerful antenna, etc. The best height for the beacons is 1 to 2m (3 to 6 ft) from the ground. The three beacons need to be on the same level and perpendicular to the ground. The distance between the beacons, and the distance between the robot and the beacons, must be smaller than 330ft (100m). Optimal orientation Bad orientation CORRECT INCORRECT 10 Start tracking Switch ON the camera. Adjust the tripod horizontally and set the TILT angle of the camera by screwing more or less the screw at the rear of the robot. Check that the watch is OFF. Switch ON the PIXIO robot by pressing the power button at the rear of the robot until the green light starts to flash. unscrew to decrease the TILT angle screw to increase the TILT angle By rotating the tripod, or using robot buttons

(e.g. one 19 Zoom settings Initialisation of the zoom When you switch ON the PIXIO robot, and also when it starts tracking you, the (supported) camera zooms out totally, and then zooms in automatically. Personal settings When the tracking is started, you can modify the automatic zoom level of the robot. Just press zoomIN or zoomOUT by successive short pressing. The new settings are automatically recorded for future use. Those buttons only work when the tracking is started, and when the zoom is not blocked in the wide setting. Zoom behavior For quality reasons, the automatic zoom changes with small successive increments. When the automatic zoom is very busy, a complete zoom out sometimes occurs, and the zoom command rapidely comes back to the normal value. 20 Camera settings It is recommended to activate the anti-vibration features of the camera (called steadyshot for Sony cameras), and to deactivate the digital zoom. Depending on what you prefer, check all parameters related to image quality and size: 16:9 is often preferred to 4:3; 50p or 60p is better for slow motion; biggest image size and best recording quality give better results. Be careful with the energy economy options that may switch off the camera when the REC is OFF during a long time. How to attach a heavy camera You can lock the TILT axis by tightening the 2 screws apart the rotation. You can use a hexagonal screwdriver with diameter 2.5mm. Do not exceed a torque of 2 Nm. Release the screws in order to release the TILT rotation. You can use a long quick release mounting plate to move forward the center of gravity of the camera to prevent it from tilting backwards. Tighten the 2 screws apart the rotation to lock the screws Use a long quick release mounting plate to move forward the camera 21 Film from an elevated location PIXIO can be used to film from an elevated location. Just set the TILT axis with the screw at the rear of the TILT axis, and chose the distance between the camera and the area you want to film, as shown below. With appropriate settings, the auto-zoom will keep you in the frame. The best settings depend on the configuration of the premises, of the auto-zoom level, and of the kind of framing you prefer. So there is no hard and fast rule for those settings. 22 MULTI-USER MODE Connect one or more watches to one or more robots.
(if you use a single robot and a single watch, you are not concerned by this chapter) 1. PAIRING PROCEDURE 2. MULTI-USER OPERATION 23 Pairing procedure: pair your devices (robots, watches and beacons)
- if you have a single robot and several watches, your robot will become the master.
- if you have several robots, you have to choose one to become the master. While filming, the master robot should always be ON. The master collects data from the other devices to run MULTI-USER mode. 1. Start your PIXIO robot into the pairing mode Check that all devices (robots, watches and beacons) are OFF. Press and hold the zoomIN button on the master robot, then press briefly Release the zoomIN button when the green and red lights blink together. The master robot enters into the pairing mode and the green light flashes twice intermittently . Do not turn OFF the master before pairing all devices. You must pair at least one watch and 3 beacons to the master. You can add up to 15 additional robots (slaves) and film up to 16 people. 1. Press on hold ZoomIN button 3. Release ZoomIN button when the green and red lights blink together 2. Briefly press POWER ON 24 Pair a device (robot, watch or beacon) to the master 2. The master robot must be running in pairing mode to pair a new device (see the previous paragraph). To pair a new device (slave robot, watch or beacon), start the device closer than 1 meter (3 ft) from the master robot. The green light of the device blinks 4 times intermittently once the pairing is completed. You must restart all the devices before starting the tracking. The pairing is saved for future use. E C I T O N You must pair at least one watch and 3 beacons to the master before starting the tracking. How to recognize a slave robot and a master robot ?
3. During ignition (before the start of the tracking), the green and red lights of a slave robot blink alternately. Only the green light blinks on a master robot. 25 MULTI-USER operation 1. Multi watches tracking All devices must be paired together to be able to run into the MULTI-USER mode (see the Pairing procedure:

Check that the upgrade file is stored at the root of the card and not in a sub-directory;
Check that the card is inserted correctly in the robot slot. 31 Configuring your PIXIO to work with your own CAMERA By default, your PIXIO is configured to work with a SONY HDR-CX450 camera. Follow these instructions to update the camera parameters kept in the memory of the robot. First, download the file corresponding to your camera model at https://shop.movensee.com/ccc. The file is meant to be opened directly on and by PIXIO robot so do not open the file directly from your computer. Record the PIXCAM.cfg file on a micro-SD card formatted with the FAT32, FAT16 or FAT12 format (usually, micro-SD cards with a capacity lower than 32Gb are formatted with a correct format). The file must be saved in the root directory of the memory card, not in a sub-directory. This file is meant to be opened directly on and by PIXIO (do not try to open it from your computer). Check that the name of the file is PIXCAM.cfg without any ...(1) or ...(2) at the end of the name. If needed, rename the file PIXCAM.cfg Insert the micro-SD card in the robot slot. Switch ON the robot (do not press any other button than the switch ON button). A few quick flashes of the LEDs occur, and the file has disappeared from the micro SD card. The parameters of the robot have been updated and stored in its memory.

You can also use up to 16 robots to film from different angles. Whatever the number of watches, a maximum of 3 different watches can be filmed at the same time by the 16 robots; It means that several robots will sometime have to film the same watch. Autonomy PIXIO approx. 4h, WATCH approx. 3h, Micro-BEACON approx. 3h. Li-Ion batteries. All chargers included: wireless for the watch. USB standards for the robot and the micro-
beacons. The robot and the micro-beacons can be plugged to the mains. This allows to film longer or to install PIXIO at the same place for months. You may increase the autonomy of the robot or the beacons by plugging an external power bank. For example, a power bank with a capacity of 10000mAh increase the autonomy of the device up to 5h to 10h. Warranty 2 years 37 More information about PIXIO batteries The robot, the watch and the three beacons include a Lithium-Ion battery you need to charge before starting to use PIXIO. The devices need about 2 hours to be fully charged if completely unloaded. Once charged, the robot is able to run for more than three hours. The watch and the beacons batteries can run between 2 and 3 hours and a half. 1. Battery charge capacity tends to decrease over time and use. 2. Lithium-ion batteries typically have a lifespan of between 300 to 500 charge cycles and are expected to retain around 80% of their original battery capacity after 300 charge cycles, or after about one year of use. 3. High or low ambient temperatures may negatively affect battery performance, resulting in a loss of up to 70% of charge capacity. The batteries should be stored at a temperature between 10 to 30C. 4. If you do not use your PIXIO for an extended period, the batteries should be charged between 40% to 60%
every two months. 5. To avoid self-discharge of the robot, unplug the robot after the end of the robot charge, turn the robot ON for a few seconds and then turn it OFF before storing it. Normal drop in battery capacity over time and use in not covered by the warranty 38 F.A.Q What kind of tripod do I need?
You need a tripod with a 3/8 screw. It is bigger than the usual 1/4 screw generally used for cameras. Do not use a tripod with a head, because of poor stability (except very high cost tripods!) and because it has a 1/4 screw. Is it possible to plug PIXIO and the micro-beacons to a wall socket ? Do they work or do they only recharge?
PIXIO and the micro-beacons can be plugged in a wall socket, and they work. It is a solution for filming all day long, and also to install PIXIO at a fixed place. Does PIXIO have an automatic tilt?
PIXIO has a manual tilt you can set before filming. For most activity on a level ground, you dont need the automatic tilt. As an example, refer to this video taken with PIXIO from the stadium stands, above the arena:
https://youtu.be/lLNN-ya_lIw Is it possible to live stream the video taken with PIXIO?
Yes, the HDMI plug of the camera can be used to have the video in real time, and many providers can live stream this video. Recent cameras also have a live stream option through your smartphone. What is the connection needed on camera to have the automatic zoom and the REC control from the watch?
The camera plug is called Multi or LANC or A/V-R depending on the model. The models listed on the website are compatible with Pixio, the others may not be compatible. Some non-listed models are compatible due to their similarities with compatible models, do not hesitate to ask us and we will check. I have a DSLR; Is it compatible with PIXIO?
Any DSLR can be mounted on Pixio. But DSLRs do not have a motorized zoom. The zoom will remain fixed. Be carefull that DSLRs generally do not have autofocus in video mode, so the video may be blurry. Where do I get the mechanical interface to allow smartphone and tablet to be used for filming?
You need a common adaptor between Pixio and the smartphone or tablet. It is generally called smartphone/
tablet tripod adaptor. It costs a few dollars and can be found easily. With a tablet or smartphone, do I have the automatic zoom and the REC control from the watch?
No. A tablet or smartphone does not have any plug for zoom and record remote control by PIXIO. Is it possible to use the HDMI port of the camera for video recording or streaming, or is it disturbed by the zoom and REC control from PIXIO?
It is possible to use the HDMI port while PIXIO is controlling the zoom and the REC through the specific plug (multi, LANC, or A/V-R). HDMI plug is not used by PIXIO. 39 the maximum and minimum operating What are temperatures?
As any electronic devices, PIXIO operation is not guaranteed at temperatures below 0C or temperatures above 40C. In real life we have many customers using PIXIO since more than one year in cold countries, Canada, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland etc., and they never had any problem in cold weather. And in our lab we tested PIXIO at -18C. Batteries usually have less autonomy in the cold, this is probably the main consequence. Is it necessary to measure everything manually in detail to set-up the beacons at precise locations?
No. It is like the GPS: you dont need to know the position of each satellites, it is automatic. Just put the 3 micro-
beacons somewhere around your playground, switch them on, and you are done. Is it an issue if I go outside the area set-up by the beacons?
No. You can go outside the area set up by the beacons and still be framed. And of course if you are going too far the camera will lose you, and it will find you again when you come back. Can I use PIXIO in a building with metallic walls?
Yes. Just take care to have all the elements of PIXIO a few inches (a few centimeters) away from the metal. Can I use PIXIO robot without the three beacons?
The three easy to set up beacons included with the PIXIO allows the robot to be responsive, precise and to film from 330ft (100meters): it is exactly what makes PIXIO a unique technological product. The three beacons are used by the watch to calculate 10 times per second the position of the robot which explains exactly why you need the beacons to enjoy your PIXIO experience. the to film long if does I need battery last?
How What longer period?
The beacons battery lasts about 3 hours. If you still need more time to film, you can always use a power bank (not included). Just plug the power bank to the beacon and thats it!
beacon for a 40 Troubleshooting E C I T O N We recommend that you regularly update PIXIO firmware to enhance PIXIO behaviour. Refer to the complete update procedure page 30. PROBLEM TRACKING CAUSE The PIXIO robot does not start tracking whereas the watch LED blinks irregularly. The robot, the watch, and the beacons cannot start their radio communications correctly. The PIXIO robot does not start tracking whereas the watch LED blinks regularly. The PIXIO robot does not start tracking whereas the green and red lights of the robot are blinking alternately. The PIXIO robot does not start tracking whereas a beacon LED blinks regularly. The watch starts on the upgrade mode. The robot is a slave (refer to page 25). The beacon starts on the upgrade mode. The PIXIO robot rotations are always in the wrong direction of rotation. The beacons are not placed correctly. Sometimes, the robot is shaky, and/or too late. Distances are too long, and/or an external element is perturbating the system. SOLUTION Place the robot and the beacons following the instructions page 12 Micro-beacons location and start again the system. If the tracking does not start after about 20 seconds, you can help by holding the watch above your head a few seconds. As soon as the tracking starts, you can put your hand down. Turn ON the watch by pressing the button until the green light turns ON the release the button immediately. When OFF, press the ON/OFF button of the robot during 13 seconds (until the green light blinks alone). Turn ON the beacon by pressing the button until the green light turns ON the release the button immediately. The beacon n2 must be on the left of the beacon n1, as seen from the robot. Follow the instructions given page 12 Micro beacons set-
up and start again the system. Place the beacons and the robot following the instructions given page 12 Micro-beacons location and start again the system. 41 PROBLEM TRACKING CAUSE The PIXIO works well at short range but malfunctions at long range The radio communication malfunctions The PIXIO robot always films on my side. The beacon n1 was not well at the center of the frame before starting the watch, and/
or the beacon n1 was much closer to the camera than the whole area you want to film, and/or the robot is not screwed enough to the tripod SOLUTION 1. Verify that the beacons are not placed on the ground. The beacons must be settled at 1m to 2m from the ground. 2. Place the robot and the beacons following the instructions page 12 Micro-beacons location and start again the system. 1. Re-start the system, checking that the beacon n1 is well at the center (right-left) of the camera screen before starting the watch. Check that the distance between the beacon n1 and the camera is similar to the maximum distance of the area you want to film (half this distance is a minimum). 2. Check that the robot is well screwed to the tripod. PROBLEM I cannot start recording from the watch and the zoom is fixed ZOOM / REC CAUSE SOLUTION 1. the camera cable is not properly plugged. 1. Replug the camera cable on both side. 2. the robot is not parameterized for your camera model. The REC stops automatically or the video is split into many short videos. The camera battery is empty or the camera memory is full. 2. Upgrade the camera parameters of your robot. See procedure page 7 Recharge the camera battery. Format the microSD card with the setup menu of the camera. Format the internal memory of the camera (if applicable). 42 PROBLEM ZOOM / REC CAUSE The REC stops automatically. You are asking for recording with the REC button on the camera. PROBLEM RECHARGE CAUSE The watch does not recharge (the red LED is OFF) The watch battery is already charged or The watch is not properly placed on the charger The robot or a beacon does not recharge (the red LED is OFF) The battery device is already charged The robot discharges when OFF The robot is self-discharging SOLUTION The PIXIO is not designed to operate by pressing on the REC button on the camera. To start and / or stop recording the video, use the button on the watch or use the PIXIO_ Remote application from a tablet or a phone. SOLUTION 1. Check that the watch is not already charged. 2. Check that the watch is positioned on the right side of the charge (the side without marks). 3. Check that the watch is in direct contact with the charger. Check that the device is not already charged
(the red LED does not turn ON if the battery is charged). To avoid self-discharge of the robot : unplug the robot after the end of the robot charge, turn the robot ON few seconds and then turn it OFF before store it. 43 PROBLEM FIRMWARE UPDATE / SAVE OF THE CAMERA PARAMETERS CAUSE SOLUTION I cannot upgrade my system (the red led remains ON) The PIXIO robot cannot read the file. I cannot not upgrade the camera parameters. The PIXCAM.cfg does not disappear from the memory card at the end of the procedure. The robot cannot read the parameters file. 1. Check that the micro-SD card has been formatted with FAT32 option. 2. Check that the file is in the root directory of the micro-SD card and not in a sub-directory. 3. Check that the microSD card is inserted into the PIXIO robot slot (not in the camera). 4. Check that the name of the file does not include any ...(1) or ...(2) at the end of the name or does not include the file extension twice (eg update.mnp.mnp). If so, rename the file update.mnp or update if your computer does not display the extension files. 1. Check that the micro-SD card has been formatted with FAT32 option. 2. Check that the file is in the root directory of the micro-SD card and not in a sub-directory. 3. Check that the microSD card is inserted into the PIXIO robot slot (not in the camera). 4. Check that the name of the file does not include any ...(1) or ...(2) at the end of the name or does not include the file extension twice (eg PIXCAM.cfg.cfg). If so, rename the file PIXCAM.cfg or PIXCAM if your computer does not display the extension files. 44 PROBLEM FIRMWARE UPDATE / SAVE OF THE CAMERA PARAMETERS CAUSE SOLUTION I cannot save the PIXCAM and/or update files on my microSD card The microSD card is write-protected Remove the write-protection from the microSD card by lowering the protective tab After an update, the PIXIO malfunctions You did not updated all the devices (robot, watch and the 3 beacons) Update all devices (robot, watch and the 3 beacons) PROBLEM BLUETOOTH CAUSE The blue LED bluetooth does not turn ON when briefly press on ON/OFF button. You did not update your PIXIO SOLUTION Update all devices (robot, watch and the 3 beacons) with the latest firmware version 45 Customer support Our qualified team will guarantee you fast support in case of questions or problems with your equipment.
