HDfury VRROOM manual: buttons, OLED menu and web server

A practical guide to operating the HDfury VRROOM, condensed from the official 8K VRROOM user manual (Rev 1.00). For the complete document, get the PDF from the downloads page.

The complete user manual is also on this site as easy-to-read chapters with the original text and images, an index and click-to-zoom on every illustration and screenshot.

The four buttons

Each push button on the unit has two functions: one in normal operation and one inside the OLED menu. Any button also wakes the unit from sleep/fade mode.

Reading the OLED

The default info page shows the unit’s IP address and firmware version, the active input with its signal details, and for each connected sink its EDID name plus the signal going to it — with an arrow marking upscale (↑), downscale (↓) or passthrough (→). The OLED fades after 30 seconds by default; press any button to wake it, or change the timer under CONFIG.

OLED menu settings

Press MENU once to enter the menu, UP/DOWN to navigate, MENU to toggle a value and EXIT to leave. Settings are named exactly as they appear on the unit:

  • [Autoswitch]: OFF / ON POWER / ON SENSE
  • [EDID Mode]: Custom / Copy TX1 / Copy TX0 / Automix / Fixed
  • [EDID TABLE]: EDID 0 / EDID 1 / EDID 2 / EDID 3
  • [SCALE Mode]: None / Auto / Custom
  • [Mute TX0 Audio] and [Mute TX1 Audio]: ON / OFF
  • [HDCP]: AUTO / 1.4
  • [CEC]: ON / OFF · [CEC LA]: 0-Video / 1-Audio
  • [ARC HBR]: ON / OFF
  • [Baud Rate]: 9600 / 19200 / 57600 / 115200
  • [DHCP]: ON / OFF
  • [Analog Volume] (−30/+10), [Analog Bass] and [Analog Treble] (−10/+10)

Accessing the web server

The web server requires an Ethernet cable between the LAN CONTROL port and your router or switch. VRROOM uses DHCP by default; a static IP can be set on the CONFIG page. There are three ways in:

  1. IP address (universal): type the IP shown on the OLED into any browser on the same network, e.g. 192.168.1.137.
  2. Hostname: press INFO until the LAN INFO page shows the hostname, then browse to it, e.g. http://VRROOM-XX/ (XX = last two digits of the serial number).
  3. mDNS (Mac/iOS): browse to the mDNS address from the same LAN INFO page, e.g. http://VRROOM-XX.local/.

Only IP access is guaranteed on every device; if hostname or mDNS fails, use the IP.

What the sections do

  • INFO — live source, video, audio and EDID readouts per output, the operating mode selector (splitter/matrix) and the input port selector.
  • EDID — copy a sink EDID, use the fixed table, pick from 100 banks per input, modify a copied EDID (FRL rate, VRR, ALLM, HDR, DV, audio caps), and download or upload EDID tables.
  • HDR/AVI — captured HDR metadata and AVI infoframes in readable form, plus the custom metadata generator with modes such as “Use custom HDR when input is LLDV” and the HDR/HLG/LLDV disable switches.
  • DV — the Dolby Vision datablock sniffed from the TX0 sink, and the custom DV datablock builder (interface, primaries, luminance and more).
  • CEC/eARC — CEC on/off, device type (Audio Processor for VRROOM eARC/ARC extraction; Video Processor when an AVR handles ARC), eARC/ARC mode, and CEC/RS232 test commands.
  • MACROS — RS232 command macros per content type, originally built with the JVC projector community, editable per command.
  • CONFIG — autoswitch, HDCP version for TX1, HTPC mode per input, OLED options, reboot timer, audio out format (720p/1080p), TX mutes, IR, +5V force, relay, IP settings, config export/import, hotplug, factory reset and firmware update.

Updating the firmware

  1. Download the latest firmware from the downloads page and extract the ZIP on your computer.
  2. Open the VRROOM web server in a browser and scroll to the bottom of the CONFIG section.
  3. Click Choose File and select the VRROOM update file.
  4. Click SEND and wait — do not disconnect anything while flashing.
  5. The unit reboots by itself; the OLED stays dark for about 15 seconds while it reconfigures. When the logo returns, refresh the browser page and check the new firmware version in the top section.

Every firmware package includes the matching IP/RS232 command list and IR codes as text files — always use the list that ships with the firmware you run. If an update fails, try another browser or another device on the same network. After updating you can restore your settings with CONFIG > IMPORT CONFIG if you exported them first.

RS232 and IP control basics

RS232 runs at 19200 baud by default (no handshake). Commands start with the #vrroom header and end with a carriage return or newline; over IP/Telnet (default port 2222) the header is dropped. Use lowercase only. Write with set x y, read with get x. The full command list ships as a text file in each firmware package.
