alejo Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hello! How can you connect the Vive Pro to a Backpack PC? As the cable is proprietary, will HTC manufacture an adapter? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 , We are currently exploring potential linkbox and cabling solutions designed backpack PCs in mind. Do you have a specific model of backpack PC that you are trying to use with the Pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianleake Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We just got an HP Z Backpack and VIVE Pro, and can't connect it up! Would really appreciate a cabling solution that would work with this awesome backpack PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksarma Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We'd also love to know if there will be a solution for the HP Z backpack (or any other vendor's backpack) -- we have a commercial training product and we'd like to switch to using Vive Pros for our customers, but can't make the switch until there is a backpack compatible option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have a MSI VR ONE backpack PC and the only thing stopping me upgrading to the VIVE PRO is the cabling issue so a solution would be geat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkizu Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I am also interested in a solution to this. I have an HP Omen X Backpack computer, with a only a mini displayport on the PC itself. So I actually had to by a new cable just to connect the link box at all (mini displayport to mini displayport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianleake Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Enkizu - did you actually manage to get it working? I tried a few adapters with the HDMI port on the Omen backpack and couldn't get it to work. Did you end up connecting a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkizu Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I tried a few things but this ultimately worked: I bought a male miniDP to male miniDP cable and replaced Vive Pro cable (miniDP to DP), plugging it in between the link box and the top of the Omen X. Its not a common cable, I found it on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0777RKTJB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
