B. After the video has finished, start the tutorial by selecting the button in front of you.

 Step Three: Enter DAW Connection Mode

If you have already installed and launched ControlRoom Hub on your Studio DAW Computer, continue to Step Five below.

If you have not yet installed and launched ControlRoom Hub on your Studio DAW computer, please do that now. Follow this link for instructions.

 Step Five: Auto Connect VR with the Hub

  • Within the Hub, navigate to the Settings Page, and then select the Network tab.

  • Click the Auto Connect button

  • In VR, click the Auto Connect button

  • If all goes well, you should see a message indicating a successful connection.

If you do not see a successful connection message after several attempts, please proceed to Step Six below to manually synchronize your Hub and VR IP addresses. If you need further assistance, please follow the links at the bottom of this page.

 Step Six: If auto connect is not working, manually connect the Hub to VR

If the auto connect in the previous step was successful, you can skip this step.

The goal is to enter the Hub’s IP address in VR, and then, enter VR’s IP address into the Hub. When finished, Hub IP Address should be the same in both places, and Headset IP Address should be the same in both places.

B: Note your Hub IP address:

C: Enter this Hub IP Address into the corresponding field in the VR application.

D: In VR, Note the Headset IP Address.
