ACTIVATION (1st time only)

Make sure your computer is activated and linked to your D-BOX Connect account.

Also make sure that you see a recent "Last updated" date to confirm haptic library download.

When ready to watch a movie, go to the HAPTISYNC ENGINE section, select the HaptiSync Mode D-BOX Coded Video .

In this section, you can also open the List of D-BOX Coded Titles to validate if the movie you are watching was coded by D-BOX.

Go to the D-BOX CODED VIDEO CONFIGURATION section and select your Audio Source. 

NOTE: IN: Audio Line-in should be chosen only if your HaptiSync Hub/D-BOX VIBE/HEMC is connected directly to your Audio Source (AV Receiver or other).

In this same section, you can adjust the Haptic Delay Calibration and the Recognition Tolerance.

Haptic Calibration Delay:

• External factors may influence synchronization delays (distance from your screen, sound transmission, etc.). We suggest calibrating your haptic system as described in next step.  Delay can be set between -200 to 200 milliseconds.

Recognition Tolerance:

• Audio recognition tolerance can be set between 0 and 100 seconds. If a recognition failure occurs during the specified delay (foreign languages, ambient noise, etc.), the synchronization will be maintained and the haptic will not be interrupted. When pausing or stopping playback, the haptic will continue for the same number of seconds.

CALIBRATION (1st time only)

Open your browser and go to the D-BOX Haptic Experiences YouTube channel

• Start the test clip and wait 30 seconds to confirm that everything works 
• Start the calibration clip to verify that there is no unpleasant delay (optional)

Start your movie and wait for the audio synchronization to complete. Haptic should start within a minute after the movie begins.  You will see the movie title appear in the "Now Playing" section:
