What Plugs Into What (and Why)
Audio
The speakers are connected to the mixer through XLR (for audio) and Ethernet (for data). Each speaker also has its own power, connected locally. Each station is connected to the outputs of the
In the Reality Room, the speakers are numbered from the front of the room --- away from the door --- to the back of the room --- near the door, in a left-right fashion:
- Left front
- Right front
- Left back
- Right back
Additionally, each station is assigned a pair of two (stereo) speakers. The numbering system for this assignment is different from the numbering system of the speakers. The station numbering system goes clockwise from the front of the room:
- Demo station
- Closet station
- Laptop station
- Window station
Vive
There are two components to the Vive setup:
Lighthouses
Each lighthouse has two connectors. Its leftmost port is a power connector, labeled DCIN (short for DC input), that is plugged into the wall. The third port is for a 3.5mm connector that synchronizes the Lighthouses, and should be connected to the same port on the other lighthouse. The other two ports are not needed.
Headset
The Vive headset has three connectors: one HDMI, one USB 2.0, and one DC input. These inputs come from the Link Box, which has the same 3 inputs, The HDMI input needs to be plugged into the HDMI output of your computer. The USB input needs to be plugged into the USB output of your computer. The DC input to the link box needs to be plugged into the wall.
Oculus
Cameras
Each camera has a single connector: a USB 2.0 that should be connected to computer USB 2.0 ports (USB 3.0 Type A will also work, but Oculus suggests only connecting one of the cameras with it).
Headset
The Rift headset has two connectors: one HDMI, one USB 3.0 Type A. Both should be plugged into your computer.
