Q5 What is the difference between 360 Live Streaming Mode and 360 Reframe Live Streaming Mode? Can viewers choose the streaming angle?
360 Live Streaming Mode: If the livestreaming platform supports 360, during "Live" mode, viewers can independently adjust and reframe the image on the streaming platform, meaning they can swipe around the 360° view to choose their perspective.
360 Reframe Live Streaming Mode: In "Reframe Live" mode, only the broadcaster can adjust and reframe the image, while viewers cannot modify the perspective themselves.
Note: 360 Reframe Live Streaming also uses 360 Lens mode, not Single-Lens mode.

It supports 360° Webcam 2:1 lens mode, providing a 2:1 equirectangular projection image on the computer that covers the entire surrounding environment. The image is already stitched and stabilized in-camera for optimized output.
