• Premium image quality and low-light performance: The RoboSHOT 30E uses a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor paired with advanced image signal processing to deliver crisp, color-accurate Full HD video. The sensor’s high sensitivity and wide dynamic range help reduce noise in dim rooms, reduce motion blur during fast action, and preserve detail in highlights and shadows for a more natural, cinematic look.
• 30x optical zoom for flexible framing: With a powerful 30x optical zoom, the camera can capture distant speakers, stage corners, or audience details without sacrificing resolution. The smooth, precise PTZ movement allows for fast re-framing during live presentations, editorial-style follows, or pre-programmed presets for multi-camera shoots.
• OneLink Bridge for simplified cabling: The built-in HDBaseT OneLink Bridge enables a single Cat6/Cat5e/Cat6a cable to carry uncompressed video, power, and control signals to the PTZ camera and interface. This streamlined cabling reduces installation time, minimizes clutter, and makes it easier to deploy in temporary or rental environments where quick setup matters.
• Versatile control options for professional workflows: The RoboSHOT 30E supports standard camera control protocols, including VISCA over IP and RS-232/RS-422, giving you flexible integration with switchers, control systems, and NLE workflows. It’s designed to work with a wide range of AV ecosystems, enabling reliable remote operation, presets, and smooth automated scenes.
• Rugged, compact design for any space: The camera’s robust build quality and compact form factor make it suitable for a variety of mounting scenarios—from ceiling and wall mounts to portable stands. Its quiet operation and durable enclosure ensure reliable performance in daily use, rental fleets, or long-running installations.

How to Install Vaddio RoboSHOT 30E HDBT OneLink Bridge PTZ Camera System

• Plan your mounting location and cable route. Choose a secure ceiling or wall mount with accessible space for the OneLink Bridge and any control equipment, ensuring clear line-of-sight for PTZ movement and convenient access to controls.
• Mount the RoboSHOT 30E in your chosen position. Ensure the mount is rated for the camera’s weight and that the lens has an unobstructed sweep path to cover the desired area.
• Connect the OneLink Bridge to the PTZ camera using the supplied HDBaseT/communication cable. Route the cable to your control processor, switcher, or room controller, keeping runs tidy and free of interference.
• Connect power and control: power the OneLink Bridge (or utilize PoE if your setup supports it) and connect control devices via VISCA over IP or RS-232/RS-422 as required by your AV system. Ensure the network or control room can address the camera for configuration and presets.
• Power on the system and perform initial setup. Use the control interface to assign IP addresses, configure VISCA or IP control, and program presets for typical scenes (e.g., presenter, board, and close-up). Validate video output on your display or capture device, then test pan, tilt, zoom, and focus to confirm smooth operation.
• Tune image settings and camera presets for optimal results in your room. Adjust white balance, exposure, gamma, and color settings to match the environment, and save preferred configurations as presets for quick recall during events or presentations.
• Document your configuration. Record IP addresses, control protocol choices, and preset numbers for easy future maintenance, replacements, or reconfigurations during venue changes or rental jobs.
