Setup by Quantity
Common Rules for All Setups:
-
Height: Mount them at or above head height (ideally 2m / 6.5ft).
-
Angle: Tilt them down 30°–45° toward the center of your play area.
-
Reflections: Cover mirrors, glass doors, or TV screens, as they confuse lasers.
If you have 1 Base (Seated Only)
-
Placement: In front slightly to left or right, slightly above eye level.
-
1.0 Setup: Press the button on the back until the channel shows “A”.
-
2.0 Setup: No special channel needed; it will just work on its default.
If you have 2 Bases (Standard Room-Scale)
-
Placement: Opposite corners of your play area, facing each other.
-
1.0 Setup:
-
Wireless Sync: Set one to “b” and the other to “c”. They must have a clear line of sight to each other.
-
Cabled Sync: If they can’t see each other, use the long sync cable and set them to “A” and “b”.
-
-
2.0 Setup:
-
Plug them all in.
-
Open SteamVR > Settings > Base Station > Configure Base Station Channels.
-
Ensure each station is on a unique channel (e.g., 1, 5). SteamVR can auto-assign these via Bluetooth. They do not need to see each other.
-
If you have 3 or 4 Bases (2.0 Only)
-
Placement: For 4 bases, place one in each corner of a square/rectangle. For 3, place them in a triangle.
-
Setup: Same as above 2 bases for 2.0 setup and ensure each station is on a unique channel (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4).
-
In case you want to swap the channels, press the small pinhole button on the back of the device while it is powered on.
