The Mevo app currently supports one Mevo camera at a time. If you would like the ability to switch between multiple Mevo cameras, you can integrate Mevo as a remote camera source in the Livestream Studio production switcher.

Mevo supports a variety of ways of connecting to the Internet so that you can go live from your event. We understand that some of the terms and methods may be confusing, so we break it down for you here. Mevo Hotspot refers to Mevo's ability to create a wireless access point to which your iPhone can connect via General Settings > WiFi. This is similar to connecting your phone to a wireless device via Bluetooth, but it's more reliable. Connect to WiFi means you configure your Mevo to connect to the Internet via WiFi. When using this connection type, streaming would occur via the WiFi network and not your iPhone's data plan. Mevo User Manual Page 8 How LLong ong Does the Ba Battery ttery Last? Our team has done extensive testing of Mevo's battery life, which varies slightly depending on your use-case. Broadly speaking, the Mevo by itself can stream and record for about one hour hour. If you add Mevo Boost to your setup, your camera can be actively recording or streaming for about 9.5 hours hours. Outlined below are detailed results for each use-case we tested.

Generally speaking, Mevo works best when placed about five feet away from the subject (e.g., a panel discussion, a performer, etc.) Mevo has been designed to be close to the subject or event taking place. For example, if your event takes place in an auditorium, Mevo should be just far away enough to capture the entire stage in a wide shot; the 150-degree lens will allow for this to be closer than most standard cameras. Mevo's small form-factor will be unobtrusive to viewers on-site. Mevo User Manual Page 2 24 How Do I Char Charge ge the Mevo's Ba Battery? ttery?

Mevo User Manual Page 83 Audio Setup Mevo User Manual Page 84 How Do I Contr Control ol Audio? To adjust your audio source and levels, tap the 'Mor More e Options Options' icon in the bottom right corner. Tap the microphone icon to enter the audio mixer. Mevo User Manual Page 85 By default, 'Mevo Mevo' is selected. This means that your audio source is the stereo microphones built into Mevo. To learn more about using iPhone as a source, see here. Mevo User Manual Page 86 USB sources are now also accepted via Mevo Boost or via workflows with an OTG USB cable. By default, the live audio preview (which allows you to hear your source audio through the iPhone's speakers) is muted. To unmute it, tap the crossed out speaker icon toward the right of the mixer interface. To the far right of the interface is the levels monitor. This indicates how loud or soft your audio is. Mevo User Manual Page 87 Running along the bottom of the screen is an audio slider. Drag the slider to adjust your audio levels as needed. Mevo User Manual Page 88 A general best practice is for your audio levels to peak about halfway to two-thirds of the way up the levels bar. This ensure clear, audible sound that is not too loud. Audio that is over modulating is generally indicated by the top notches flashing red. This means you should lower your audio levels by dragging the audio slider to the left. Mevo User Manual Page 89 Supported External Audio Sour Sourc ces & Adapters Our team has tested a variety of adapters, extenders, and mixers to use as audio sources with Mevo.

It does work with the TRRS-to-lightning adapter that is included with iPhone 7. It also works with a lightning-to-USB adapter when using a USB audio interface. TRRS-to-Lightning adapter (included with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus) Mevo User Manual Page 91 USB-to-lightning adapter It does not work when directly connecting lightning audio sources and adapters. Wha Whatt is a TRRS plug? The key factor determining if your audio source is compatible with the 3.5mm port on mobile devices is the type of plug it has. It must exactly match the form factor seen in recent versions of the Apple earbuds with the built-in microphone, as pictured here: The red arrows above are pointing to three chrome rings and a chrome tip separated by three much thinner rings. This is referred to as a TRRS plug (tip-ring-ring-sleeve). This is the correct type of audio input that iOS devices can accept. Mevo User Manual Page 92 Mobile devices cannot input audio with plugs that only have 2 or 3 chrome rings, such as those pictured below: A TS (tip-sleeve) and TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug. These are not supported as audio inputs. We are continually testing more products and will update this list as we find more compatible audio sources. Mevo User Manual Page 93 Using an External Audio Sour Sourc ce With Mevo You may use an external audio source with your Mevo, via your iOS device's TRRS 3.5mm plug or the USB port in a Mevo Boost. The TRRS plug is a specific type of plug. The easiest example of what one looks like is your iOS device's supplied earbuds. If you look at the plug on your iOS earbuds, you will see three rings. Any audio output you want to use with Mevo must have these three rings, as this is an iOS device requirement. More information about supported external audio inputs is available here. Plug your TRRS 3.5mm audio input into your iOS device's headphone jack. Once you have connected your Mevo to your app, open the main menu by tapping the 'Mor More Options Options' icon (three dots) in the bottom right corner of the live edit view. The below menu will appear. Next, tap on the Audio Mixer icon. In the Audio Mixer, you will see "Mevo Mevo" is selected, and "iPhone iPhone" is greyed-out. Mevo User Manual Page 94 Tap where it says "iPhone iPhone," to start using your external audio input. You will see your audio levels in the green bars to the right. When inputting a stereo signal into the iPhone through the 3.5mm TRRS input, the output will be a mix of the left and right audio channels. When inputting a stereo signal into the iPhone through the Lightning port, the output will remain in stereo. When using an external audio source, you should mute your audio output on the app to avoid an echo on your stream. In this instance we recommend pushing a test stream to your destination (e.g. stream to Facebook but select Only Me as the audience) and check your audio quality there. You can adjust your audio gain up and down with the slider bar to further adjust your levels. Mevo User Manual Page 95 Mevo User Manual Page 96 Best Practic Practices es For Gr Grea eatt Audio We have a few recommendations for getting the most out of your Mevo's audio options depending on your venue and setup. A panel presentation. Multiple speakers. Quieter room. If you have a group of speakers sitting at a table, or standing on a stage, your best solution would be to use small microphones that clip-on to the speaker’s shirt. These mics are called lavalier microphones, and come in a variety of types, including wireless. In this scenario, you would need one lavalier microphone (commonly referred to as a “lav mic”) per speaker. This audio is short range and focused on picking up only the audio of the speaker it’s attached to. This setup is common for all television interviews, as the lav mic is high quality, filters out most room chatter and noise, and is inconspicuous. These microphones would then be added to a mixer, which is ideally run by a separate person. This way, the mixer can be used to bring different mics up or down, depending on who is speaking. Mixers have an output, from which you can run a stereo cable into your iPhone, so that your Mevo gets this clear, mixed audio feed. When buying lav mics, check to see if they run on battery power, or phantom power. If phantom power, you will need a mixer that will provide the power to the mics. Generally, most mixers have a quarter-inch stereo output, and the iPhone has an eighth-inch TRRS input, so you would need a cable of appropriate length with a ¼” end and a ⅛” inch TRRS end. A music event. Loud room. Most live event venues have a sound board. If you have access to this board, the best solution would be to get an audio cable with a 3.5mm TRRS end and take the fully mixed board output directly into your iPhone, to mix into your Mevo’s audio recording. If you do not have access to the board feed, you should consider a shotgun microphone. This is a long microphone, usually covered with a windscreen, that can be more or less directional, depending on the mic, but generally covers a room’s sound with a focus toward what it’s pointed at. Mevo User Manual Page 97 In the scenario with a shotgun mic, you would try to center yourself in the room, and point the mic toward the stage. The advantage of a shotgun mic is that you generally just need one, as it will cover a wider area while still filtering out side and background noise and chatter. When buying a shotgun mic, check to see if they run on battery power, or phantom power. If phantom power, you will need to provide the power to the mic. You will want a shotgun mic that has an ⅛” TRRS end, or get an adapter if needed. Many shotgun mics use XLR connections. You can find a variety of both lavalier and shotgun microphones retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and BH. Your audio setup can get as complicated as you have the time and budget for, but the solutions described above should provide clear audio and a simple workflow for your event.

However, in order to use the app on iOS devices, you must end any voice and VoIP calls. To prevent your stream or recording from being interrupted, you can either set your phone into Do Not Disturb mode, or you can turn on Airplane mode and reactivate Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Please note that while your phone is on Airplane mode, you cannot stream via your phone's 4G connection. Mevo User Manual Page 102 How to Live Edit Y Your our Mevo Shots Once you have connected your Mevo camera to a mobile device, you will see the main Live Editing view. In this view, you will see your Mevo camera's live shot. Manual Editing In the full, wide view of your live shot, you can use the Mevo app gestures to live edit your event: tap to cut, pinch to zoom, and drag to pan. Tap to cut: Mevo User Manual Page 103 Pinch to zoom: Mevo User Manual Page 104 Drag to pan: Mevo User Manual Page 105 In the top right corner, you will see your live editing program output. This is what your viewers will see when watching the recording or live stream. Mevo User Manual Page 106 Tip: You can use your finger to drag the output monitor to another part of the screen. The icon with three dots at the bottom right corner of the app opens the options menu. This is where you will find options for Camera Assistant, Audio Mixer, and General Settings. Mevo User Manual Page 107 Press and hold anywhere on the screen to set a manual shot. You will see a yellow box appear indicating that the shot is set. Mevo User Manual Page 108 The icon with six squares to the left of the options menu icon brings up the Grid View. If you have several manual shots set or faces in your shot that the camera has found, you will see them in a multiview on your iPad. You can live edit your event in this view by tapping each shot. Mevo User Manual Page 109 To return to the live edit view, double-tap one of the shots or tap the X in the bottom right corner. Mevo will stay on the last shot you selected. When you have taken a close-up shot (i.e. not in the full wide shot) a cut-to-wide icon will appear to the left of the grid icon; tap it to cut back to your wide shot. Mevo User Manual Page 110 Enable FFac ace e Detection Mevo has the ability to detect up to four faces, making it easy for you to switch between subjects to focus on. To turn on face detection, tap the mor more e options menu icon. Mevo User Manual Page 111 Tap the camera assistant icon on the far left. Turn on Find Fac aces es by tapping it. It will go from gray to white. Mevo User Manual Page 112 A blue box should now appear around any human faces that appear in your Mevo's field of view. These trackers will follow each face's motions as long as they stay within view. You can also set up to eight manual shots if there are more than four people in the view or easily cut to non-human objects. Simply tap and hold a spot on the live edit view for a moment; a yellow box will appear. Enable Live Follow Enabling Live Follow allows for the camera shots to follow the movement of the object they are tracking, such as a person's face. It's ideal for a situation in which you have a speaker walking around a stage, or a chef moving from one side of a kitchen to the other. If your subjects are staying fairly still, such as a panel discussion or a meeting, we usually recommend disabling this feature to prevent unnecessary movements of the camera shot. If you go to the Mor More e Options menu and tap the Camera Assistance icon, you will notice three options: Find Faces, Live Follow, and Auto-Pilot. Mevo User Manual Page 113 Tap the button to turn Live Follow on; it will go from gray to white. Mevo User Manual Page 11 114 If you would rather keep your shots focused on a specific area, turn Live Follow off. Enable Auto-Pilot Auto-pilot allows the Mevo app to live edit entirely on its own, with no need for you to control the shots. Go to the Mor More e Options menu, then tap the Camera Assistant icon. Mevo User Manual Page 115 Tap Auto-Pilot to turn it on; it will turn from gray to white. You have the ability to adjust the speed at which you want auto-pilot to cut between shots using the slider on the right side of the camera assistant menu. Dragging the slider all the way to the left will make the cuts much slower. Mevo User Manual Page 116 Moving the slider towards the right will make the auto-pilot cuts faster. Choose your desired speed and exit the menu. The Mevo app will now automatically cut between any detected faces, manually placed shots, and the wide shot. Mevo User Manual Page 117 Grid View In the Mevo app, you can choose to view and direct your live event through the grid view. The grid view will allow you to see up to nine shots. This includes one wide shot, plus up to four detected faces and up to eight static shots that have been set. To enter the grid view, tap the bottom right grid icon. You may then tap on each shot in order to cut to that shot. You will see a box around the shot that is live to your viewers, while in Grid View. It will be blue when you are not live, and red when are you are actively recording or broadcasting (in the below example, the wide shot is selected and the camera is not currently recording or streaming). Mevo User Manual Page 118 To exit the grid view and return to the live edit view., tap the X in the lower right corner or double-tap the desired shot. Mevo User Manual Page 119 Wher Where e Do I Find Settings? There are various ways to configure and customize your Mevo.

Mevo User Manual Page 138 Scroll down and you will see three sliders, each for brightness, contrast and saturation. Use your finger to adjust the setting. It will save once you close out the menu. Mevo User Manual Page 139 Sharpness Settings Sharpness, in the simplest terms, adjusts how the camera processes the pixels in the image. The pixels can either be very defined and make edges clearly pronounced, or much softer and blended together. To adjust your sharpness settings, go to settings, then 'Advanc Advanced ed settings settings.' Mevo User Manual Page 1140 40 Scroll down to 'Sharpness Sharpness,' which you can then adjust between High, Medium, and Low. Mevo User Manual Page 114 41 Low sharpness may be ideal for low activity events (panels, meetings), whereas high sharpness would help better define objects in higher activity events (dance recitals, sports). The default setting is Medium. Mevo User Manual Page 1142 42 Flip Mevo's Image The Mevo app can flip its image, in case you mount it upside down (such as from a ceiling). To flip the image, go to the Options Menu in the app, then tap on the gearwheel icon to access settings. Mevo User Manual Page 1143 43 Tap 'Advanc Advanced ed Settings Settings.' Scroll down to find the 'Flip Flip Video Video' option. Mevo User Manual Page 1144 44 There are three options: • Normal Normal: The image will not flip if you turn the camera upside down. • Flipped Flipped: The image will appear flipped unless you turn the camera upside-down. • Auto: The app will detect whether the camera is right-side up or upside-down and adjust the orientation accordingly. Please note: it may take a few seconds before the image adjusts, so we do not recommend going back and forth between the two orientations frequently. Mevo User Manual Page 1145 45 Wha Whatt is View Angle? Mevo customers can adjust the appearance of their field of view with the view angle setting. The Mevo app includes a handful of preset configurations to adjust the cropping and dewarping of the image the Mevo captures. In the Live Edit view, tap the Mor More e Options icon in the lower right corner, then select the gearwheel to access the settings menu. Mevo User Manual Page 1146 46 Select 'Advanc Advanced ed Settings Settings.' Mevo User Manual Page 1147 47 Scroll down to 'View View Angle Angle.' Here you will notice there are five options, with 'Normal Normal' being set as default. Below are examples of the appearance of each setting. As a reference, here is a picture of the same exact sample area taken by an iPhone 6S Plus at the same distance as Mevo: Mevo User Manual Page 1148 48 Flat: most cropped, straight edges Narrow: wider field of view, edges slightly curved Mevo User Manual Page 1149 49 Normal: Wide: Full field of view captured, curved edges Mevo User Manual Page 150 Fisheye: Most curved edges, objects in the middle of the picture appear closer to the camera. Mevo User Manual Page 151 Adjust Maximum Z Zoom oom and Default T Tap ap Settings When live editing with Mevo, you may notice that your zooms and cuts do not crop the shot beyond a certain point. This is a default setting that is meant to prevent the image from looking pixelated. You can adjust these settings to customize how far you can zoom in and what a cut zooms up to by default. Navigate to Settings > Advanc Advanced ed Settings Settings. Scroll down to the Editing section where you will see two scrub bars labeled Maximum Z Zoom oom and Default T Tap ap Z Zoom oom. Maximum Z Zoom oom: Determine the farthest Mevo will zoom in to any shot. Default T Tap ap Z Zoom oom: Determines how much the image crops when you tap to cut to a close-up shot; if set to lower than the Maximum Zoom, you can still zoom in further by pinching the shot to the maximum zoom level. Mevo User Manual Page 152 By default, both are set to 3X. This means whether you tap an area in the live edit view or zoom into it all the way, the crop will stop once it has zoomed in up to 3X digital magnification, which will look similar to the image below (note the output preview in the upper right corner). Mevo User Manual Page 153 You can adjust both of these to go higher or lower. You may want to consider a limited Mevo to a lower zoom magnification if you are streaming at an HD quality or when using the Mevo in low-light environments. It's important to keep in mind that the Default T Tap ap Z Zoom oom will not exceed the value set for the Maximum Z Zoom oom. In this example, Maximum Zoom has been increased whereas Default Tap Zoom stays the same. This means if you simply tap on an area of the live edit view, the shot will cut to a 3X magnification shot, but you still have the ability to zoom in more. Mevo User Manual Page 154 If you set the Default Tap Zoom to be lower, then the crop that occurs when tapping the live edit viewer will cover a larger area, as seen below. Mevo User Manual Page 155 Mevo User Manual Page 156 Enable Livestr Livestream eam Studio R Remote emote Camera Mode You can bring your Mevo into your Livestream Studio production as a Remote Camera. In this way, you can use more than one Mevo camera in your production at one time, if you want. Please note that you cannot record locally to the microSD card when using Mevo as a remote camera source in Livestream Studio. However, Livestream Studio does include a recording option for just the camera source if you would like to record a backup. First, make sure that your Mevo is on the same local network as your Livestream Studio machine either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Open your Mevo app main menu, and choose 'Advanc Advanced ed Settings Settings.' Mevo User Manual Page 157 Scroll midway down the Advanced Settings menu. You see an option for Livestr Livestream eam Studio R Remote emote Camera Mode Mode. First, choose whether you want your camera resolution to be 720p / 7.5Mbps, 720p / 5Mbps, or 1080p / 15Mbps. Best practice is for it to match the Project Format in Livestream Studio. You cannot change your resolution while remote camera mode is enabled. Toggle the switch on. You will see a warning message that indicates you need Livestream Studio in order to use this feature. Turning on this feature disables the ability to stream and record directly with Mevo. Mevo User Manual Page 158 Tap 'OK OK' to continue and then close out the menu. Your Mevo is now in Livestream Studio remote camera mode. Back in your live editing mode, you will now see a window at the top left with two new controls. These controls are Preview and Output. As long as your Mevo is on the same network as your Livestream Studio machine, you can then choose your Mevo as a source in the Remote Cam tab in Livestream Studio. Mevo User Manual Page 159 Note: If you have re-named your Mevo in the app, it will still show up in Studio with its original identification number. Tap on Preview to control your Livestream Studio and place your Mevo Remote Cam source in Preview. Tap on Output to control your Livestream Studio and take your Mevo Remote Cam source as the Studio Output. This is what your Studio viewers will see. Mevo User Manual Page 160 While Mevo is being used a Remote Camera in Studio, you may still live edit your Mevo shot in your Mevo app. Your Mevo will output this live editing to Studio, just as it would to a local recording or Mevo stream to Livestream or Facebook Live. Note: You cannot start a separate Mevo stream to Livestream or Facebook Live while Studio Remote Camera Mode is enabled. You also cannot record to a microSD card inside the camera while in Studio Remote Camera Mode.
