*CameraMan uses a python script to create the control panel in Maya, which is used to open a connection port and load the motion file saved from the app. Supporting files come with the app and can be found in the iTunes File Sharing for the app. You will need to edit or use the supplied userSetup.py file to append/setup the python script path
