PIXOTOPE VISION AND MARKER

TRACKING TRAINING

 

Explore Pixotope’s optical tracking with a sensor unit on your camera. Since the system is hardware-dependent, we invite you to our Cologne laboratory for hands-on training with our equipment.

If visiting isn't possible, we also offer remote training on your own equipment, in your studio.

HOW REMOTE TRAINING

WORKS

We want to ensure that your first experience with Pixotope Tracking is perfectly suited to your equipment. That's why one of our product specialists will guide you through a live, remote session to set up and configure your system, while also covering the essentials.

Once you're familiar with the basics, you can participate in group sessions streamed from Pixotope studios, where we dive deeper into advanced features and provide more in-depth knowledge.

 

Onsite

TRAINING

Whenever you acquire a Vision or Marker tracking system for installation in your facilities, your sales contact will arrange onsite training at your premises.

For our channel partners new to the tracking business, we maintain a variety of equipment options in our Cologne laboratory, enabling you to gain hands-on experience with anything you may wish to install for your customers.

Please contact our Channel Partner Manager to request training.
