Is it necessary to measure everything manually in detail to
set-up the beacons at precise locations?
No. It is like the GPS: you don’t 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.
How long does the beacon battery last?
What if I need to film for a 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
that’s it!
What are the maximum and minimum operating
temperatures?
As any electronic devices, PIXIO operation is not
guaranteed at temperatures below 0°C or temperatures
above 40°C. 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 -18°C.
Batteries usually have less autonomy in the cold, this is
probably the main consequence.
