What do I need to take remote lessons?
Option 1:
PIXEM + tripod + your phone/tablet + a "LIVE LESSON" monthly subscription 2, with or without CeeCoach and our connection cable1.
The phone/tablet needs 4G or WiFi connection to the internet.
Option 2:
"PIXIO Live Coaching Pack", with or without CeeCoach and our connection cable1
It works with Skype or FaceTime on a computer close to the robot and camera. So there is no monthly subscription.
The differences are mainly:
The cost of purchase (less expensive with PIXEM because you don’t need to purchase a camera) and the cost of subscription (no subscription cost with PIXIO)
The image quality (often better with PIXIO and a camera)
The simplicity/complexity (easier with PIXEM: no computer connected to internet and no video converter between a camera and a computer).
The best thing before purchasing is to test your internet speed: just make a Skype or FaceTime video call with your coach with the connection you intend to use, and the coach will tell you if the video is steady or not. There are also figures, but the test is much better than figures:
Upload and download speed of about 0.5MBPS: Low Quality
Upload and download speed of about 1MBPS: Medium Quality
Upload and download speed of about 3MBPS: High Quality
1 With PIXEM and PIXIO, there are 2 options for the voice feedback: a standard phone call (the rider must have a phone in his pocket and a headset), or with a CeeCoach Duo Kit and our special connection cable between the CeeCoach and the phone.
2 Because Skype and Facetime on a phone/tablet do not accept the video with auto-zoom from the MOVE 'N APP.
The CeeCoach allows to have a voice feedback when doing live lessons through the internet.
One is with the rider, and the other one is close to the computer/phone/tablet. It must be connected to the computer/phone/tablet with the connection cable (link here).
And with recent iPhones it is necessary to have this kind of "Jack 3.5 - lightning adaptor" as well.
