Key Points to Understand When Streaming VR Headset Screen Feeds

Pour faire fonctionner correctement la fonctionnalité de streaming des casques, il convient de respecter un certain nombre de règles qui optimiserons vos sessions.

• Casques en mode développeur + débogage activé 

• Ajustez le mode veille de vos casques

• Le logiciel et les casques doivent etre connectés au meme réseau wifi

Once the headsets are marked "Ready to Stream," you are ready to launch! Select the headsets you want to stream and click the "Stream" button. The headset screen feeds will then appear on your monitor. 

Different Scenarios You May Encounter While Streaming

• I have a black screen

A black screen does not mean your stream has failed; on the contrary, it means the stream is running, but no one is wearing the headset. The headset usually turns off the screen when it is not worn. Place it on the head, and the image will appear.

TIPS 1: Never forget that the system reports the exact image of what is happening inside the headset. If the screen is off, you will see a "black screen" image.

TIPS 2: For those testing alone with multiple headsets, place opaque tape (gaffer tape) over the internal sensor (usually between the lenses) to simulate that the headset is being worn.

• I have a frozen image

If the image freezes, it means the headset has gone into sleep mode or has powered off due to low battery.

• 
  

• If it's in Sleep Mode: This is often because the user accidentally pressed the "Power" button. Simply press the power button again, and the image will return automatically. You have up to 1 minute 30 seconds to press the button again.

• TIPS: Beyond this timeframe, you risk losing the actual connection, but even if the status shows "Device Disconnected" in the stream, by pressing the power button on the headset, you can relaunch the stream once the status returns to "ready to stream."

• 
  

• If it has Powered Off: This is the only scenario where you will need to reconnect the headset via cable to the software.

  TIPS: You have a battery indicator on the stream interface that allows you to act before the power cutoff.

Statuses During Streaming

There are three main statuses that may occur during your streaming session:

• You are viewing all screen feeds (No Status Marked)

In this case, no status is marked—everything is running smoothly.

• Black Screen with the status "Restart Streaming"

Most of the time, the stream is active, but there is no one wearing the headset, so the headset turns off its screen. Once put back on the head, the image returns.

Note: Most of the time, it is not necessary to click the "Restart Stream" button. However, if the image does not return, then press "Restart Stream."

• Black Screen with the status: "Device Not Connected"

In this specific case, someone has either pressed the power button or the headset has gone completely offline.

If you intervene within the minute: Simply press the power button again for the image to return.

If you intervene later to power the headset on and the image does not return: Wait until the headset returns to the "ready to stream" status, and then relaunch the stream by pressing the button.

TIPS: The connection remains active for approximately 130 seconds after someone presses the power button on the headset. You have time to intervene before the connection is completely lost.Rédigez votre article ici... Utilisez la barre d'outils pour formater votre texte.
