[Dual System] - Configure HMD's for System A and System B

Warning: This article is for Dual System only.

Introduction

When you receive the headsets, they do not come with any of the software required to run them with the Zero Latency System. The steps in this guide will configure and name the HMD's for each system so that they can be used.

It is recommended that you keep the equipment for System A and System B separate during this process, as failure to do so can cause misconfiguration of HMD's leading to them not functioning correctly.

Tools and Equipment Required

• All headsets for System A and System B
• All Controllers for System A and System B
• Dual System Hardware Kit (ZL-03-17)

Part 1: Hardware Assembly

The first step is to unbox and set up the hardware for the headsets. It is recommended that you organise the headsets into two groups, one for System A and one for System B.

Note: When Applying the ID Labels during this step, ensure you select the correct numbers for each system.

System A: HS-01 → HS-12 

System B: HS-13 → HS-24

Follow the documentation linked below to set up the hardware for each group of headsets:

Part 2: Update Firmware on the Hand Trackers

Once the Headsets have been assembled, the firmware on the trackers needs to be updated to ensure that the Headsets can connect and communicate with the trackers (required for Headset setup.)

Follow the documentation linked below to complete this task for all headsets. You can use either of the Systems GM’s, just ensure that you keep track of which headsets are for each system and keep them separated.

Part 3: Update the Firmware on the Headsets

Once the trackers have been updated to the correct firmware version, the Headsets now also need to be updated to the correct firmware version.

For this step, there is no difference between System A and System B firmware, you just need to use the SD card labelled “1 - Firmware / ROM”. Ensure you keep the Headsets grouped physically so they are not mixed for the following steps.

Part 4: Install Zero Latency software onto the Headsets

In this step, we are defining the names for the headsets and installing the software required to connect to the rest of the Zero Latency system. This step can be completed with either of the GameMaster (GM) machines.

Ensure the headset is connected to the GM in the correct Game Space.

System A: HS-01 → HS-12 

System B: HS-13 → HS-24

It is highly recommended that you complete this step with each headset sequentially starting at HS-01 to ensure that none are missed and they are not duplicated.

When following the steps in the article below, refer to the number on the front of the headset that you attached during Part 1 on this page.

System A:

HS-01 → HS-12 

System B:

HS-13 → HS-24
