Headset Setup 

 

All of the headsets set up and work a little differently to each other, and the guide below 
should help set these up. You can contact the team at 

[email protected]

 if you 

are experiencing any issues and they will be able to help.  

 

HTC Vive 
 

Setup 

For the Vive to work with Roto, you will need to use the Vive Link Box.  
 
Cables K, L and M will need to be plugged into the base of the Roto, and the other ends 
plugged in to the link box. You will then need to add the cables provided with the link box to 
the other side and connect it to the mains/PC.  
 
For the headset itself, the power cable will need to sit in the top left port in the stem of the 
chair, the HDMI cable will need to sit in the HDMI port at the bottom of the stem, and as the 

cable for the Vive isn’t quite long enough, you’ll need to pop the USB extender on to the 

USB cable of the headset, before it is plugged into the top left port on side B of the control 
box. 
 
Once this is done, ensure that the sensors are plugged in and visible to the headset. We 
recommend loading Steam VR to ensure that everything is being picked up and visible.  
 

Rumble 

To set up rumble, take apart the two cables that run on the headset (the curly cable, and 
the aux cable from the front), and intercept it with cable G. In the empty part of cable G, 
you will need to plug in cable H, and feed it to the aux port on the front of the control box. 
Turning the dial on the control box to switch it on should start rumble working. 

 
Oculus Rift CV1  

 
Setup 

To set this up, you will need to ensure that the HDMI cable is plugged in to the stem of the 
chair, and the USB cable is plugged in to the top left port on side B of the control box.  
 
Cables K and L will need to be plugged into the base, and run through to the PC 
 
When the chair is switched on, the image should appear, however if it is not clear, remove 
the HDMI cable, add the HDMI repeater, and plug it back in. Switching the base on and off 
resets all the connections to the chair, and the picture should be clear.
