I know it’s not supposed to work but then they would say that wouldn’t they
the vive wireless adapter ( as far as I know ) can cope with 4k signal
so it could well work with a suitable adapter and the long lead coiled up.
Just asking if someone would try it ?
Be very careful while doing this. Make sure the voltage matches, if it doesn’t you could fry the headset.
all three headsets are 12v
If they are all the same voltage it should be good. The only other thing, is the amperage must meet the minimum of the headset or it may not power on/stay on.
5k might work as the compression could be compatible after all the wireless module is just a conduit , it would have to go through the hdmi out of the wireless adapter though to the pimax via an adapter , don’t know if it could work ?
Pimax needs to make wireless module a priority over all their other accessories, as every VR reviewer agrees it is a game changer and they need to compete now that Vive is about to release their module. Having said that, I think the Vive module will work, after all, it’s just a device that takes an input signal, compresses it and transmits it, then uncompresses/receives it on the other end, I think it would work for any video signal really.
this x100. I’m getting the wireless adapter for my vive, but going to the pimax with a cable at the end of the year will be tough and amazing at the same time. Tough because it won’t have wireless and many have said going back to wired is really really tough. Hopefully the wireless module is a priority for pimax right now
My understanding is that each wireless module is unique for a specific headset type, due to power requirements and such. I previously read that in this forum.
Yes, this is true for vive and rift, but that doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work with the pimax, I’m not to keen on trying it myself though.
The vive wireless adapter is capable of transmitting more banwidth than the vive pro requires ( according to a discussion with an intel engineer that i read )
But the pimax would require a dp1.4 socket
Active hdmi to dp1.2 adapters(Adapter HDMI to DisplayPort - 4K 30Hz - HDMI & DVI Display Adapters | StarTech.com United Kingdom ) are available but would they cause lag if used to connect the vive wireless receiver to the pimax dp connction .
The pimax wants dp.1.4 but from what i can understand is that dp1.2 can provide 1440p at 100hz if all 4 lanes are used ???
The voltage requirements are the same so it is possible that the vive wireless could work
but there are a few questions
1/Does the vive receiver know which hheadset it is communicating with and if so can it be fooled
2/ Would the addition of an active hdmi to dp cable cause any lag
3/ will it work but be really crappy due to limited refresh etc
How long will it take pimax to bring out the wireless adapter
Would it harm the vive wireless adapter or pimax to try it ??
I am by no means knowledgeable about these things but just think this could be something
Please shoot the idea down but explain in detail why it cannot work
i will try it with TPcast (OpenTPCast Firmware), i think it will work, because its only HDMI signal from VirtualHere Server (TPCast) to VirtualHereClient (PC)… we will see
Don’t think tpcast can handle enough data throughput to work though
@dillanski at the latest TPCAST 2.0 can be sure, because WiGig/802.11ay technologie
How will you plug it in? Pimax uses a non-standard connection in the HMD… If the wireless module accepts USB and DP, you’d still need to plug into the end of the Pimax cable… I guess you could then wrap the cord around your waist 10 times?
@SweViver tried it. Didn’t work. Different voltages
The resolution of HTC VIVE PRO is:
2880 x 1600 (1400 x 1600 per eye) -------> 2880x1600 = 4.608.000 pixels per frame
The resolution of PIMAX 5K + is:
5120 x 1440 (2560 * 1440 per eye) -----------> 5120x1440 = 7,372,800 pixels per frame
I do not see that it’s going to work.
I think you forget that Pimax does not use a resolution of 1440 using a resolution of 1440p per eye, you would need two chips to get that, but I do not think the VALVE adapter will do it. I think
“The pimax wants dp.1.4 but from what i can understand is that dp1.2 can provide 1440p at 100hz if all 4 lanes are used ???

Pimax needs to transmit 5120x1440 at 90 hz quadruple capacity practically or I understand it that way.
I don’t know , I read an article where an intel engineer said that the adapter will be capable of a much higher bandwidth than the vive pro requires
I don’t know why everyone is asking for wireless for the Pimax. Personally I’d like to see more wires. One on the front and one on the back maybe.
Yeah… so I get that adapters are possible, but it’s a custom connector. You can’t just go buy one on Amazon. You might be able to find someone that makes the relevant connectors and crimp / solder something together, but that’s going to be janky.
