    \n
  1. Sony SONY HXR-MC88 HD camcorder<\/li>\n
  2. 2 battery packs for the camera<\/li>\n
  3. LiveU Solo unit<\/li>\n
  4. Cables\n
      \n
    1. Camera power cable<\/li>\n

        Setting up the GO kit<\/h4>\n<\/div>

        Before setting up the GO kit, make sure that your camera batteries and the LiveU Solo unit are fully charged.<\/p>\n

        The LiveU Solo contains an internal battery that enables up to two hours of standalone operation when fully charged. We recommend charging the battery for at least four hours before first using the LiveU Solo. To charge the battery, plug the 12V AC Power Adapter into the DC IN connector on the unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>

        \"\"<\/span><\/div>
        <\/div><\/div><\/div>

        While charging, the LED near the DC IN connector will be red. When the battery is fully charged, this LED will turn green. Note that the battery charges even when the unit is turned on.<\/p>\n

        It is good practice to keep the unit plugged into a power outlet when it is not in use, ensuring it is charged and ready to GO whenever you need it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

        <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        <\/i><\/div>

        TIP<\/h2><\/div>
        <\/div>
        \n

        Even though your kit can be fully operated on batteries, it is strongly advised to plug both the camera and the Solo unit into power wherever possible for the entire duration of the game in order to guaranty continuous operation and avoid risks of losing streams or recordings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

        LiveU Solo Connectivity<\/h4>\n<\/div>

        The LiveU Solo can connect and use up to four network interfaces:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. 2 x USB-connected modems (SIM card dongles)<\/li>\n
        2. 1 x WiFi interface<\/li>\n
        3. 1 x LAN interface (Wired)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Solo connectivity using cellular network<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Your GO kit is equipped with two cellular USB modems. When turning on the Solo with the modems connected\u00a0 to the two USB ports on the unit , the Solo will automatically dial and connect to\u00a0 the network, updating the information accordingly.*<\/p>\n<\/div>

          \"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div>
          \"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div>
          \"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div>
          \"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
          <\/i><\/div>

          NOTE<\/h2><\/div>
          <\/div>
          \n

          For the cellular modems to connect to the network they must contains a valid and working data SIM. If you have purchased a data package with your GO kit, this comes ready to use with your SOLO unit. Without data SIM for one or both modems, you can still use the GO kit with WIFI connection of LAN. You may also purchase your own data SIM from cellular service providers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

          <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Solo connectivity using WIFI network<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Network interfaces are managed from the Main<\/em>\u00a0 screen. Once the LiveU Solo is powered on and ready for work, the\u00a0Home<\/em> screen displays. To go\u00a0to the\u00a0Main<\/em> screen: Press the\u00a0Right<\/strong>\u00a0button or the\u00a0Center\u00a0<\/strong>(OK<\/strong>) button on the joystick. The\u00a0Interfaces<\/strong> option on the Main\u00a0<\/em>screen indicates the number of active interfaces out of the total number of interfaces on the LiveU Solo.<\/p>\n<\/div>

          \"\"<\/span><\/div>
          <\/div><\/div><\/div>

          To configure WiFi on the Solo, navigate to the Interfaces<\/strong>\u00a0option in the\u00a0Main<\/em> screen and scroll down using the Down buttons on the joystick to select the WiFi option.<\/p>\n

          Next, enter the Select Network<\/strong> option, The unit will scan available network. Use the up and down buttons to select a network.<\/p>\n

          Select a network and press\u00a0Connect<\/strong>. For encrypted networks, enter the network password using the virtual keyboard, as shown below, and then press\u00a0Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          To disconnect<\/strong> a WiFi network, either disable<\/strong> WiFi or select a different network.<\/p>\n<\/div>

          <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
          <\/i><\/div>

          TIP<\/h2><\/div>
          <\/div>
          \n

          Always connect to a WIFI network or LAN when available. Even when your unit is connected to the cellular network, connecting to WIFI and \/ or LAN will ensure a higher network availability and will help you to save some cellular data, making sure it is used only when you need it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Assembling the kit<\/h4>\n<\/div>

          Once you find the right position on the field or court where you want to broadcast from,\u00a0 mount the camera to the provided tripod.
          \nConnect the camera to the Solo unit using an HDMI cable and if possible, connect both the camera and the Solo to a power socket.
          \nYou can use the kit’s case as a base to place the Solo unit on.<\/p>\n<\/div>

          Securing the HDMI <\/b><\/p>\n

          Your LiveU Solo comes with an HDMI clip to help you relieve tension from the HDMI cable. This is our solution since HDMI connectors doesn’t lock into place.\u00a0 It’s easy to accidentally tug the cable out of the side of the Solo. The tension clip lets you make a small loop of cable, insuring that if there is a tug on the cable its not directly pulling the cable out of the unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>

          <\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Prepare for broadcast<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>

          In order to broadcast, both devices must be turned on and the Solo unit should be connected to the internet.<\/p>\n

          To do so follow these steps:<\/p>\n

          Your kit is already configured to use the required settings. All that’s left to do is turn everything on and get it running.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Turn the camera on by pressing the POWER<\/strong> button<\/li>\n
          2. Press and hold the POWER<\/strong> button on the Solo unit for five seconds to turn the unit on. The unit will start loading (image A) before it gets to the Ready<\/strong> state (image B).<\/li>\n
          3. Set up additional networks if available (See Solo connectivity section above)<\/li>\n
          4. Short press the POWER<\/strong> button to start streaming from the unit. The unit will go into Connecting <\/strong>(image C) state and finally will start streaming (image D). NOTE<\/strong>: At this point the stream is not published and video is not being recorded.
            \nIf you forget to start the streaming on your liveU unit, don’t worry – The PlaySight admin will start it for you but it will take slightly linger to initialise the stream.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
            \"\"<\/span><\/div>
            <\/div>

            Your SmartCourt Go is now ready for broadcasting, which you will manage from your PlaySight account admin panel.<\/u><\/p>\n

              NOTE<\/h2><\/div>
              <\/div>
              \n

              You must<\/strong> prepare the kit for broadcasting as described on the Prepare for broadcast<\/strong><\/a><\/span> section above before starting the session on the PlaySight admin.<\/p>\n

              When ending the session, you must first end the session on your PlaySight Admin <\/strong>before stopping the LiveU unit or disconnecting the camera. Your video is being recorded on the PlaySight cloud. Disconnecting the Solo unit before stopping the session on the PlaySight admin, will result in streaming and recording black frames.<\/p>\n

              For extra caution, after clicking on STOP SESSION<\/strong> on the PlaySight admin, allow few minutes before stopping<\/strong> the LiveU Solo unit or the camera operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

              <\/div>
              \n

              Your PlaySight admin interface can be accessed from any web browser and you can do this remotely from anywhere in the world. You do not need to be next to your GO kit in order to manage your broadcast. You can have one person operating the kit on the court\/field and another managing the broadcast from anywhere!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

              <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

              Cloud recording<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>

              The video streamed from the Solo unit to PlaySight is being recorded on the cloud (if the Save to cloud <\/strong>option is ticked on your session settings on the PlaySight admin). Once your session is over you can enter your account from any web browser and enter the FACILITY VIDEOS<\/strong> section of your account.<\/p>\n

              You will find all your videos recorded on the SmartCourt GO arranged chronologically. From your account you will be able to download your video, share and edit clips.<\/p>\n<\/div>

              <\/i><\/div>

              TIP<\/h2><\/div>
              <\/div>
              \n

              When operating the SmartCourt GO camera there is no need to press the recording option on the camera as the recording is done by the cloud server. However if you wish to have a local copy of your video, you may use an SD memory card for your camera (not supplied with the kit) and use the recording option on the camera too. This will not affect your live stream or cloud recording<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
