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 don’t need the automatic
tilt. As an example, refer to this video taken with PIXIO
from the stadium stands, above the arena:

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.
