# HTC Vive Pro
## Overview
[**Book through the Media Hub.**](https://msd.unimelb.edu.au/maker-spaces/loans-desk)
The HTC Vive Pro is an incremental upgrade to the HTC Vive, these are the differences:
* **Higher resolution display: 1440 x 1600 pixels, leading to sharper imaging**
* **Two front-facing cameras for better reality capture support**
* Integrated headphones where-as the original Vive had a headphone jack.
* More comfortable to wear
* **New Base Stations with better tracking and increased tracking area**
#### Considerations
The Vive Pro uses a DisplayPort 1.2+ input method to computers.
## Setup

### Base Station sensors
The Vive Pro's new Base Station 2.0 sensors are not compatible to be used **with** the original Vive sensors, but the Vive Pro headset and controllers are compatible with the original Vive sensors.
## Vive Software
A key difference between using the HTC Vive and the VIVE Pro is that the latter requires specific software and drivers to be installed.
