VERVIEW

The impressive RoboSHOT HD PTZ cameras are professional quality
with very high quality imaging, fine detail and exceptional color
reproduction. This camera offers integrators, dealers and end users an
incredible improvement over other conferencing and large venue
cameras available today. The RoboSHOT Platform consists of two
models; the RoboSHOT 12 and the RoboSHOT 30.

The RoboSHOT 12 is perfect for small to medium sized conference
rooms. This model features a 12X optical zoom and a 73° wide angle
horizontal field of view, which provides incomparable support for
applications including UCC Applications, videoconferencing, distance
learning, lecture capture, telepresence and more!

The RoboSHOT 30 camera performs brilliantly in medium to large

rooms. It features a 30X optical zoom with an impressive 2.3° tele end
to 65° wide end horizontal field of view and provides exceptional
support for applications including House of Worship productions, large
auditorium A/V systems, large distance learning classrooms, live event
theatres with IMAG systems, large lecture theatres with lecture capture
and more!

The key features of both RoboSHOT cameras are Tri-Synchronous
Multi-Axis Motion and the Advanced Image Sensor, lens and ISP
(image signal processor) combination. The Tri-Synchronous Motion
algorithm in the RoboSHOT cameras is capable of moving all three
(pan, tilt and zoom) axes simultaneously. The algorithm calculates the
position and velocity of the smooth, direct-drive motor movements
between the presets so pan, tilt and zoom arrive at the preset subject
simultaneously, which finally allows for smooth and manageable on-air
camera movements. Yep, there’s no more pan/tilt, then zoom like other
PTZ cameras available today.

RoboSHOT 30

HD PTZ Camera on Mount

The lens, image sensor and ISP are the real magic behind the

uick-Connect SR interface

RoboSHOT’s remarkable video performance characteristics. Both
cameras use the latest generation Exmor® 1/2.8”, 2.34 Megapixel, Full
HD (1080p/60) high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor combined
with a new ISP, produces vivid, realistic and accurate color with
extremely fast, razor sharp automatic focus and auto iris routines.

The RoboSHOT platform, paired with the Quick-Connect SR interface, uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cat-5 Cable
System to transport HSDS™ (differential video), power and control to and from the camera over Cat-5 cables. The
QSR system has a single analog component YPbPr output that outputs video resolutions up to and including
1080p/60 and is not limited to 1080i/59.94. The market proven Quick-Connect™ Interfaces immediately provide
integrators with the ultimate in camera configuration flexibility.

All RoboSHOT’s are equipped with an Ethernet port and a built-in web server, which allows the user to control the
camera functions on an internal web page with a browser from anywhere in the world, or in the same room, over
the IP network. Telnet, IR Remote and RS-232 control for the camera are available to satisfy almost any system
control requirements.

The RoboSHOT cameras were designed for the times and represent a new era in specifying and integrating
professional quality cameras into A/V and conferencing system configurations. In short, it has never been easier
to integrate cameras into any environment than with the RoboSHOT HD Cameras.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested
for use indoors with the power supply provided. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor
operation hasn’t been tested and may damage the device and/or create an unsafe operating condition.

Save These Instructions:

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings (DWG and PDF) for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded
from www.vaddio.com free of charge.

Important Safeguards:

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.

extended DC power supplies will void any and all warranties.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type
connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the cause of
intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and
locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS (high speed differential signals). For
best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio Cat-5e products.

The RoboSHOT HD PTZ camera connectivity for all signals (video, power and control) is over Cat-5 cable

(ubiquitously referred to as Cat-5 or Cat-5e). For best results, please use quality Cat-5e cable and real RJ-45

crimpers. Unlike phone and data lines that use the four center conductors (pairs 3 & 6 and pairs 4 & 5), the Vaddio
EZCamera systems use all of the pins in most configurations. When terminated correctly The Vaddio Cat-5e
solution provides for the utmost in flexibility for HD video system design, integration and ease of installation.

NSTALLATION

 Choose a camera mounting location while paying close attention to camera viewing angles, lighting conditions,

possible line of site obstructions, and checking for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.

Always pick a mounting location that will optimize the performance of the camera.

 The included RoboSHOT wall mount can be mounted directly to a 2-gang wall box or can be mounted to the

wall using dry wall anchors.

RS-232 Cabling Notes:

For RS-232 cabling, use a standard Cat-5 (if you can still find Cat-5) or Cat-5e/6 cable with real RJ-45 connectors
(568B termination) from the RS-232 port on the back of the Quick-Connect interface to the camera’s RS-232 Port.
If the camera is connected to a third-party control system (such as AMX or Crestron), a DE-9F (also called a DB­9F in some circles) to RJ-45F control adapter is supplied.

More Notes: Use of pass-thru type RJ-45 connectors is highly discouraged. The Vaddio Cat-5 wiring

standard uses pins 1, 2, 7 and 8 on both the power/video and the control Cat-5e cables. The pass-through
connectors have proven to provide insufficient connectivity for these important signals. They are OK for
voice and data that use the center pins only, but not for cabling systems that use all the pins.

Setting the RoboSHOT Camera HD Resolution

The RoboSHOT cameras control the resolution of the video signal sent back to the Quick-Connect interface. There
is, as explained on the page 10, a rotary switch to set the HD video resolution and a set of eight (8) DIP switches
that determine certain camera functions. See drawing and Description on how to setup the camera.

Setting the RoboSHOT Switch Gear:

① - Set the desired and available HD output resolution for the camera with the Rotary Switch.

② - Set the IR control frequency of the camera if it is to respond to the IR remote control.

③ - If using the IR forwarding features with a 3

rd

party codec remote, set the IR OUT switch to ON (SW3).

④ - If inverting the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (SW4).

⑤ - For the RoboSHOT 12X model only, set the Super-wide mode to ON for a 12X, 73º horizontal super-wide

angle of view. Normal mode will produce 67.2º horizontal field of view (HFOV). The RoboSHOT 30 does not have
a Super Wide mode.

⑥ - Set the Baud Rate DIP switch (SW6) to 9600bps for most applications. Default is 9600 bps systems.

⑦ - Setting all DIP switches DOWN with a power cycle loads the default camera settings. Return DIPs to

desired operating position after power cycle

Note: Switches 7 & 8 are reserved for future use.

DIP Switch Settings Further Explained (DSSFE):

 IR 1, 2 and 3 (SW 1 &2): A single IR remote has the capability of operating up to three different PTZ cameras

in a room. Use these selector DIP switches and the selector buttons at the top of the IR remote to select the

frequency.

 IR OUT on/off (SW3): The IR output is sent out on the RS-232 RJ-45 jack on the back of the camera. Turning

on the IR output will allow IR signals to be transmitted over the Cat-5 cable to the head end. When using RS­232 control or Vaddio CCU controllers (also via RS-232), turn the IR OUT to OFF (up).

 Image Flip (SW4): To invert the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (switch down).

 Super-Wide Mode: Super-wide works only with the RoboSHOT 12 model and allows the camera to switch

from 67.3º wide end HFOV to a Super Wide 73º wide end HFOV.

 Baud Rate (SW6): The options for baud rate are either 9600 or 38,400 bps. The 9600 bps works best with

Cat-5e over distance. Use 38,400 bps for short control lines only.

 DIP Switches (SW7 & 8): Not used for operation, please leave these DIP switches up or in the OFF position.

RoboSHOT HD Cameras

Installation Basics:

The RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount for…wall mounting the camera. There
are options for IN-Wall™ mounts and IN-Ceiling™ Half-Recessed as well. The Cat-5 cabling
ideology is especially convenient for camera mounting when the camera location is not anywhere
near an AC outlet. Installation is simplified in that no custom 8-Pin mini-din cables or expensive
plenum coax cables or multi-pin cables or power outlets are required near the camera location. All
Cat-5 cabling is routed to the head-end using with standard straight through RJ-45 connectors

(568B termination). “Pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors should be avoided, like using a ladder for

a pommel horse, which should be avoided too.

Determine Camera Mount Location and Mount

After determining the optimum location of the camera system, route the required Cat-5e cables from the camera to
the head-end Quick-Connect. Test and mark the Cat-5e cables: EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232.

The Cat-5e cables should feed-through the cable management slots provided by
all Vaddio mounting options. If the wall mount is to be mounted on a 2-gang wall

Use a level to
level the mount…

box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach the Thin
Profile Wall Mount Bracket. If mounting to drywall with wall anchors, use the four
(4) quality wall anchors and screws provided.

The mounting holes are slotted and are 90° opposing to provide easy leveling.
Level the mount and place the camera on the mount. Connect the marked and
tested Cat-5e cables to the appropriate RJ-45 jacks. Check the level again to
avoid any of those weird Batman camera angles. Use the provided ¼”-20 x .375
mounting screw to attach the Camera to the mount.

System Wiring

Follow the sample wiring diagram (page 11) for connecting the Cat-5e cables to the camera and Quick-Connect
Interface. Additional diagrams are available on the Vaddio website.

Connect the camera side as follows:

 Connect the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat-5e to the EZ-POWER VIDEO RJ-45 connector on the RoboSHOT.
 Connect the RS-232 control Cat-5e to the RS-232 RJ-45 on the RoboSHOT camera.

Connect the Quick-Connect side (at the head end) as follows:

With the Quick Connect USB not powered-up.

 Connect the RS-232 Cat-5e cable to the RS-232.
 Connect the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat-5e to the EZ-POWER VIDEO RJ-45 connector on the Quick-Connect.

Note: Please check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of final connection (568B). Plugging the

EZ-POWER/VIDEO Cat-5 cable into the wrong RJ-45 or using the wrong pin-out may cause damage
to the camera system and void the warranty!

Step 4: Connect the supplied 24 VDC, 2.08 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect SR

Interface. The Quick-Connect SR will initialize, power will travel down the EZ-POWER VIDEO Cat-5e cable to the
camera. The camera will boot up and in a few seconds, differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5e
cable to the Quick-Connect USB. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information
from the IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller, however it is always best to choose either IR or RS-232

and not both concurrently.

T

HE SCREEN SHOT TOUR

The RoboSHOT camera platform uses a Linux OS and has a built-in web server. The internal web pages will allow
control of the attached camera via an Ethernet network connection. These web pages will allow the user or
administrator to control the camera, set PTZ presets, set security passwords, change the IP address, view
diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more!

Compatible Web Browsers

You may ask, “What are the approved web browsers that work with the RoboSHOT’s embedded web server?”
Chrome

®

(latest version), Firefox® (latest version), Internet Explorer® (versions 8 through 11) and Safari® (versions

6 and 7) have been tested thoroughly with RoboSHOT and are compatible.

DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP). If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then the IP address,
gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The software is defaulted to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an
IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found.

Static IP Set-up:

The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable. Depending on the age of the
computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same for network or direct connection to a computer. The default
address of the camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different computer OS types all have their own way of doing things

(without question), but they are essentially doing the same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the RoboSHOT are accessible

.

Screen Shot: Login

The RoboSHOT webserver is intended as a user’s camera control page at one level, and an administrator’s
management tool at another level, which requires password authentication for access.

The Login Page will appear if there is a user name assigned by the administrator. Assigning a user name can limit
access to the admin menus by a general user.

By default, the User name is: user, and the password for the User account is: password.

The Administrator can set the name and password for the User account.

By default, the Admin user name is: admin, and the password for the admin account is: password.

If a user or an admin logs in through this screen, then the next page shown will be the camera control page.

The user will only have access to the camera control page.

The Admin will have complete access to all web pages.

RoboSHOT HD Cameras- Document Number 342-0794 Rev C Page 15 of 44

RoboSHOT HD Cameras

Screen Shot: Camera Control Page

This web page provides access to the camera controls for the User and the Admin.

1) Pan, Tilt and Home Controls: These intuitive controls use the up/down and diagonal arrows for camera pan and tilt. The

center button will move the camera to the home position.

2) Zoom Control: The camera’s zoom lens can be controlled with the “+” to zoom-in and the “-“to zoom out.

3) Pan/Tilt and Zoom Speed Controls: The speed for both the Pan/Tilt and Zoom controls can be adjusted with the three

(3) sliders in this section. For tighter shots, it is recommended that the slower speed is used. These controls are for real-

time camera movements only.

4) Standby: The Standby control puts the camera in low power mode and effectively puts the RoboSHOT to sleep. The

camera will pan 90º from center and 30º downward (to not collect dust on the lens). When the camera is inverted (ceiling

mounted) the camera will pan 90º from center and 30º downward. If the system is on, then the button will be blue and

controls will be visible. If the button is red, no controls are accessible and the screen states: Device is in standby. Click

to power-up, then you’ll know what to do.

5) Camera Presets: Twelve (12) camera position presets can be recalled simply by clicking a preset number.

6) Store Preset Button: Clicking the Store button opens up a Store Preset pop-up dialog box. To set presets, set up the

camera shot, click on choice of preset number (1 through 12). The preset is stored and the dialog box closes. The Store

Preset dialog bow will prompt the operator to enter the Tri-Sync speed to the stored camera preset and if the current color

settings are to be stored with the preset too (see the next page).

7) CCU Scene s: The user has access to the CCU scenes set and stored on the Admin pages. There are three (3) user

definable presets and six (6) presets preconfigured by the technical folks at Vaddio (really Scott set them all) that are meant

to be used in certain lighting scenarios. These lighting presets included: Automatic, Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo,

Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo and Outdoor.

8)

Administration Menu: By clicking on the Administration menu bar, the Admin Login screen will appear.

Screen Shot: Storing Presets

1) Store Preset: When the Store Preset button is clicked (point 6 on previous page), the Store Preset dialog pops into

existence. To save the current camera shot, click one of the Preset buttons (1 through 12), the button will be

highlighted and the dialog box will present the Tri-Sync controls and if the CCU setting are to be kept with the preset.

2) Save with Tri-Sync and Setting the Tri-Sync Speed: The Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithm in the RoboSHOT

cameras is capable of moving all three (pan, tilt and zoom) axes simultaneously. The algorithm calculates the PTZ

position so pan, tilt and zoom start at the same time and arrive at the preset subject simultaneously. Tri-Sync speed

is speed at which all other presets will use to get to the preset being stored. All axes will launch at the same time

and if the next preset position is not too close or too far, axes should simultaneously arrive at the preset location.

Storing the preset with Tri-Sync is fairly straight forward. Here’s a quick method to set Tri-Sync:

a) Position the first preset, click on Store Preset and click on Preset 1. Check the Save with Tri-Sync box. Move

the tri-Sync speed slider to about the approximate position above (about 1/3 up the speed scale). This is the
speed that all the other presets will use to get to this Preset 1. The speed is stored with the destination preset.
Click on Save to store the camera location and Tri-Sync speed.

b) Set another camera position, and try a different pan, tilt and zoom position and click on Store Preset. Click on

Preset 2 through 12, click on the Save with Tri-Sync box and set the slider to about ½ way this time and click on
Save. These two presets are stored with different preset destination speeds.

c) Click between these two recently stored presets and note the different speeds applied to the 2 presets.

Tri-Sync Notes: If a preset is very close to the previous preset, like within10º with no change in zoom, it certainly

doesn’t need to be Tri-Sync’d. If a preset is super-fast and off-air, Tri-Sync won’t be of much use either. Tri-Sync
is a cool tool to set for on-air shots, but the process of setting the speeds will need some practice.

3) Store with Current Color Settings: To save the currently assigned CCU scenes settings, check this box.

4) Click Save or Cancel to exit this pop-up dialog box.

ELNET SERIAL COMMAND

API

The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet session
on the RoboSHOT. The command application protocol interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX
or Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation
standard and uses an intuitive text command nomenclature for ease of use. The API is accessed by a telnet client

on the Ethernet port. All ASCII characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string ­ESC[J (HEX- 1B 5B 4A). Vaddio Command lines are terminated on carriage return. After the carriage return, the
VT100 appends with –ESC[J. (Note: Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.) General
format usage follows a get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:

Set Example

COMMAND: > camera pan right
RESPONSE: > OK

Get Example
COMMAND: > camera home get
RESPONSE: > OK

Syntax Error Example

COMMAND: > camera right pan
RESPONSE: > ERROR

Additional programming controls associated with the terminal protocol includes:

 CTRL 5 - Clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Telnet sessions will require access verification and uses the same username and password associated with the
Administrator account on the embedded web server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are terminated
with a carriage return.
