O VERVIEW
The impressive RoboSHOT HD PTZ are professional cameras 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. These
RoboSHOT systems are specifically packaged for use with the AV
Bridge MATRIX PRO and takes advantage of the three (3) built-in
Quick-Connect systems with in the MATRIX PRO.
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.
The lens, image sensor and ISP are the real magic behind
the RoboSHOT’s remarkable video performance
characteristics. Both cameras use the latest generation
Exmor® 1/2.8”, 2.38 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 MATRIX PRO, uses the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cat-5 Cable System to
transport HSDS™ (differential video), power and control to and from the camera over Cat-5/5e/6 cables. Three
Quick-Connect interfaces are built-into the MATRIX PRO and with the RoboSHOT cameras, distances of 100’
(30.48m) are achievable in FULL HD at 1080p/60.
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 and the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO 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 these products.

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 lineon 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.
The RoboSHOT HD PTZ camera connectivity for all signals (video, power and control) is over Cat-5/5e/6 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.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized or
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.

GETTING STARTED
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 earlier, a rotary switch to set the HD video resolution and a set of eight (8) DIP switches that
determine certain camera functions.
Drawing: DIP Switch and Resolution Label on the Bottom of the RoboSHOT
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-IR OUT is not used with MATRIX PRO.
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 not used with the MATRIX PRO. However, if certain lighting or other
pesky IR sources are within a room effect the performance of the camera and RS-232 is the only control being
used, then turn SW3 to IR OUT ON, which turns of the IR reception of the camera’s internal processor.
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.
