The new Kinefinity Connect App is capable of real time monitoring, setting camera parameters instantly and wirelessly when paired with MAVO Edge 8K/MAVO LF/MAVO/TERRA 4K (firmware KineOS6.5), and an external wireless AP. Naturally, it brings more involvement in field production and improves efficiency a lot. The cinema camera works as WIFI Client mode, so it needs an external wireless AP (access point), which could be smartphone hotspot (do not recommend iPhone 11 or below as hotspot/AP, but iPhone12 series or above are good for hotspot/AP) or wireless router, dual band preferred. The Kinefinity Connect App has three mode/pages: 1. Video mode: real-time video and key parameters; 2. Panel mode: key parameters only; 3. Setup mode: or menu/configuration mode. Input slate information and project information very easily. Note: the performance of camera may be affected if number of active links is over six at the same time.
