Training video

This video covers the following subjects

Connecting to TV

  1. Connect the display cable (HDMI) to the PC and the TV/monitor

  2. Turn on the TV/monitor

  3. Make sure the TV’s input is correct (find the button named “Input”, “AV”, “Source”, then choose HDMI)

  4. Turn on the PC

Running the application

If you have a pre-configured Motiview PC, the Motiview app will start automatically when you boot the PC, and the computer would be pre-loaded with some downloaded videos to get you started.

  1. Start Motiview by double clicking/touching the Motiview icon in the start menu or on the desktop. If you haven't added the license code yet, you will be prompted.
  2. When the application is running, the TV monitor should be showing a green screen with a white Motiview logo
  3. On the PC you should now be able to scroll up and down, and click on the video you want to download and watch
  4. Click on the “Play” button on your device, and the video will start playing on the external display screen.

Browsing and playing videos

The first videos you see when you open Motiview, are automatically selected based on geographical proximity. You can get videos from other areas and countries by clicking «Select country» and «Select region». Click «Show all» to get back to the overview page.

Download videos

To download videos, do the following steps
  1. Click on any video from the overview page
  2. Click the «Download video» button on the bottom left
    On average, a video will take between 5–10 minutes to download, depending on your internet connection.

Download multiple videos simultaneously 

There is an option to download 20 videos based on your geographical location. This background process might take up to several hours to complete and requires a high speed internet connection. Not recommended with a slow internet connection.

  1. Click on the three dots/«More» button
  2. Click «Download 20 videos»

If you clicked «Download 20 videos» and nothing seems to happen, you might find that the PC is already busy downloading Windows updates. In this case it's a good idea to let the PC have some time to finish the downloading and updating before you try downloading more Motiview videos. Other times, a quick reboot of the PC can be very effective.

Favourite videos

Favourite videos will always be shown at the top of the overview page.

  1. Click the video you want to set as favourite
  2. Click “Set as favourite”

Watch videos

  1. Open up a video from the front page
  2. If you haven't downloaded it, you'll need to download it first
  3. Press Play

Listening to music

Music tracks are sorted into playlists based on genre. A playlist will play in a certain order, and there are some pauses between each track, due to music license regulations.

Turn on music

  1. Click on the video you would like to play
  2. Click «Choose Music»
  3. Choose a playlist and click outside the menu to close it
  4. Play the video to hear the music
  5. Later you can return to «Ambient sound only» to only hear the natural sound from the video recording

Once a month Motiview will update its playlists and randomize the track orders, so cyclists may experience a different order of songs from one day to the next.
