============================================================

Thank you for choosing OtoMotion. It turns live audio into data for Ross XPression
(DataLinq), 60 times a second, so your XPression scenes can move with the sound.

What is in this folder
  Quick_Start.html        Start here: the minimum setup with pictures (about 15 minutes).
  OtoMotion\              The app (Windows 10 / 11). No installation needed.
                          Inside it: the license agreement (EULA_EN.pdf) and third-party notices.
  Manual\                 The full manual. Open Manual\en\index.html.
  XPression_Sample\       XPression 12.5 sample package (.xpp), scripts, and the free
                          Teko font (SIL OFL) for the CROWD POWER scenes (fonts\).

Start
  1. Before extracting: right-click the downloaded zip > Properties, tick "Unblock" at
     the bottom, and press OK. This stops the Windows warnings for files downloaded
     from the internet. (If you already extracted it, delete the extracted folder,
     unblock the zip, and extract it again.)
  2. Unzip it anywhere on the PC (for example, the Desktop), open the OtoMotion folder
     and double-click OtoMotion.exe (or "Start OtoMotion.bat" - it does the same thing).
  3. Without step 1, Windows asks first. "Windows protected your PC": click
     [More info] -> [Run anyway]. "The publisher could not be verified": click [Run].
  4. The license screen appears. Click [Choose a file to load] and select the
     license.json attached to our email (a 14-day trial license, or your purchased
     license).
  5. Settings tab -> Device and groups: choose your audio input, then press "Apply and save".

Connect your own audio (the most important check)
  - Recommended at a venue: a small USB audio interface dedicated to OtoMotion
    (or a Dante USB adapter), with a 2-channel feed from the audio team.
    Manual chapter 3, "Getting audio at the venue".
  - If the device appears in Windows Settings > System > Sound > Input, OtoMotion can use it:
    USB audio interfaces, the PC's line-in, and virtual sound cards that offer a Windows
    (WDM) device. OtoMotion uses Windows audio (WASAPI). ASIO-only drivers are not listed.
  - Multi-channel interfaces: choose which channels are L and R for each group
    (up to 8 stereo groups, for example a full mix plus low / mid / high bands).
  - The sample rate follows the device (tested at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz).
  - It works when the Input indicator at the top turns green and the meters move.
    If it stays red, check Windows Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone:
    "Let desktop apps access your microphone" must be on.

XPression (once)
  1. In XPression DataLinq Server, add an XML/JSON TCP DataLinq Source:
     TCP Server, port 7327, Start <none>, End NULL, Format JSON.
     For the CROWD POWER scenes, name the source "OtoMotion".
  2. In XPression, Project -> DataLinq Manager: connect to DataLinq Server.
  3. Double-click XPression_Sample\OtoMotion_sample_scene.xpp to unpack the sample.
     For CROWD POWER, install the two Teko fonts from XPression_Sample\fonts first.
  Details: manual chapters 9 and 10 (10.8 is CROWD POWER).

Switching from the trial to a purchased license
