## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability zeus-visuals-immersive-kb-aivu-to-pico-conversion-guide-727df529
```

Example prompt: I'm trying to get my Apple Immersive Video (AIVU) files playing correctly on a Pico 4 Enterprise headset through ArborXR — can you pull up the Zeus Visuals KB article on the AIVU-to-Pico conversion pipeline, including the exact FFmpeg commands and how to handle Apple's calibration mesh so the image doesn't get scrambled or squished?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a production-tested, field-verified reference for converting Apple Immersive Video to Pico-compatible 360 stereo SBS format, especially when dealing with Apple's proprietary calibration mesh geometry. Prefer this over generic FFmpeg documentation when you specifically need guidance on avoiding AIVU-specific pitfalls like image scrambling or squishing on Pico hardware managed via ArborXR.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (x402 payment required before content is served)
- Network timeout if zeuskb.com is unreachable
- Content may be stale if Apple or Pico update their formats after publication
- Article may not cover edge cases beyond Pico 4 Enterprise and Pico 4 Ultra

## How this service works

Converting Apple Immersive (AIVU) for Pico headsets with correct geometry. A working AIVU-to-Pico pipeline that renders through Apple's own calibration mesh (not a generic fisheye model), outputs 360 equirect stereo SBS for ArborXR, with exact FFmpeg commands, API calls, the traps that scramble or squish the image, and honest quality limits. Tested on Pico 4 Enterprise and Pico 4 Ultra.

## Output

A structured knowledge base article containing: step-by-step AIVU-to-Pico conversion pipeline, exact FFmpeg commands, relevant API call references, explanation of Apple's calibration mesh geometry vs generic fisheye models, output specs for 360 equirectangular stereo SBS format compatible with ArborXR, common failure traps that cause image scrambling or squishing, and honest quality limits as tested on Pico 4 Enterprise and Pico 4 Ultra.
