Extended bullet-time getting-started & support plan

For the past two years, most of our clients have been able to get setup by following the online documentation. If you’re looking for a shortcut for a faster jumpstart, we provide one-to-one training support. That is an access to our technicians, the ones who have been developing / operating Xangle Camera Server for the past years. Support is usually provided during normal working hours for our Montréal studio (NYC timezone).
