nCamera Settings DIP switches: Set camera behaviors such as IR remote frequency, baud rate and
image flip. See Camera Settings for more information.
nRS-232 connector: Connect to the RS-232 port (if any)on the Quick-Connect device to allow an
external device to manage the camera using a modified VISCA protocol. See RS-232 Serial
Communication for RS-232 settings.
nEZPower Video: supplies power to the camera and delivers HD video back to the Quick-Connect
interface using high speed differential signaling over Cat-5e cable. Connect to the EZPower Video port
on the Quick-Connect device. (Color-coded orange or yellow, depending on the device.)
n36 VDC FOR CCU ONLY: Power from the Quick-Connect Universal CCU. Do not use this port
except when connecting to a Quick-Connect Universal CCU.
Note
Alabel on the bottom of the camera lists the rotary and DIP switch settings.

Camera Switch Settings
RoboSHOT cameras use DIP switches to set camera behaviors, and a rotary switch to set the video
resolution. A label on the bottom of the camera provides a quick reference for setting the switches.
Set the switches appropriately before mounting the camera.
After the camera is installed, you can read the switches from the camera's web interface.
Note
When the camera is not inverted, DIP switches are in their default positions when they are up.
DIP Switches:Camera Behavior Settings
Use the DIP switches to set camera behaviors.
(RoboSHOT 30 shown; Switch 5 is Super Wide Mode if the camera is a RoboSHOT 12.)
IR1, IR2, IR3 (Frequency Selection): If there are multiple cameras in the room, use switches 1 and 2 to
configure each with a different IR frequency to allow the IR Remote Commander to control them
independently. Then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the remote to select the camera you want
to control.
nSW1 and SW2 up: IR frequency 1
nSW1 down, SW2 up: IR frequency 2
nSW1 up, SW2 down: IR frequency 3
IR Out: Leave switch 3 UP if the IR remote will be used. If the system will be controlled from another
device, set the switch DOWN. This turns off the IR sensors in the front of the camera, so that all control is
via the RS-232 connection.
Image Flip: If mounting the camera upside-down, set switch 4 DOWN: IMAGE FLIP ON.
Super Wide Mode (RoboSHOT 12 only): To use Super-wide mode, set switch 5 DOWN. This gives
12X zoom with a 73º horizontal angle of view. Normal mode provides 10X zoom with a 67.2º horizontal
field of view (HFOV).
Baud Rate:Set switch 6 to the baud rate of the device connected to the RS-232 port. The default is 9600
bps. Use the 38,400 bps setting only if the control device does not have a 9600 bps setting.
For RoboSHOT 30, Switch 5 is not used. Switches 7 and 8 are not currently used on either RoboSHOT
12 or RoboSHOT 30.

Video Resolution
Set the desired output resolution for the camera with the rotary switch. Switch positions D through F are not
used.
Note
The Quick-Connect Universal CCU supports frame rates of 50 fps and above. Switch selections 9 through
C are valid for the camera but not supported on the QCCU.
Note
The Quick-Connect USB Mini supports only 720p/60, 720p/59.94, and 720p/50. Other resolution settings
are valid for the camera but not supported on the QMini.

A (Quick) Look at the Quick-Connect Devices
RoboSHOT 12 and RoboSHOT 30 cameras are not designed for stand-alone operation. These
configurations are available:
nRoboSHOT QCCU system – ARoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30 camera with a Quick-Connect
Universal CCU, a broadcast-quality CCU (camera control unit)for managing color and lighting
adjustments. This system is typically used with a joystick camera controller.
nRoboSHOT QUSB system – ARoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30 camera with a Quick-Connect USB,
a versatile solution with multiple connectivity options and choice of USB or IP streaming. This system
is typically used in rooms that need conferencing capability, and may be used with a joystick camera
controller.
nRoboSHOT QMini system – ARoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30 camera with a Quick-Connect USB
Mini, a basic USB connectivity solution with a small, unobtrusive form factor. This system is typically
used for soft conferencing applications.
nRoboSHOT QDVI system – ARoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30 camera with a Quick-Connect
DVI/HDMI-SR, a connectivity solution for legacy equipment; provides DVI and analog component
video outputs. Use with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter for HDMI output. Like the RoboSHOT QSR system,
this system is typically used with older equipment; however, it provides more connectivity options. This
system may be used with a joystick camera controller.
nRoboSHOT QSR system – ARoboSHOT 12 or RoboSHOT 30 camera with a Quick-Connect SR, a
short-range connectivity device for legacy equipment; provides analog component video output. This
system is typically used with older displays, and may be used with a joystick camera controller.
The RoboSHOT cameras are also sold as RoboSHOT AVBMP cameras. These do not use Quick-
Connect devices, but connect directly to a Vaddio AV Bridge MATRIX PRO, which provides connectivity
for up to three RoboSHOT cameras. Refer to the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO documentation for more
information on this configuration.
