using a OneLINK extension system
nOneLINK HDBaseT connector – Connect to the network (H.264 IP streaming, web interface or Telnet
control, and PoE++ power) or a OneLINK extension system (video, power and control up to 328
ft/100m)
nHDMI connector – HDMI video output
nHD-SDI connector – HD-SDI video output
nRS-232 port – Connect to a camera controller to manage the camera using a modified VISCA protocol
nHDvideo select switch – Select the appropriate output resolution for local outputs
nDIP switches – Set IR frequency, IR on/off, image flip (camera is invertible), and baud rate
Switch Settings
RoboSHOT cameras use a rotary switch to set the video resolution and a set of DIP switches that
determine certain camera functions. A label on the bottom of the camera provides a quick reference for
setting the switches.
Note
Set the switches appropriately before mounting the camera.

Camera Settings
Use the DIP switches to set other camera behaviors.
Note
When the camera is right side up, switches are in their default positions when they are up.
IR Frequency Selection:The IR Remote Commander can control up to three cameras in the same room
independently, if they are configured with different IR frequencies. Use switches 1 and 2 to select the
frequency to identify the camera as camera 1, 2, or 3; then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the
remote to select the camera you want to control.
IR: Leave switch 3 in the default UP position if the IR remote will be used.
Inverted operation: If mounting the camera upside-down, set switch 4 to the DOWN position: IMAGE
FLIP ON.
Baud Rate:Set the baud rate for RS-232 communication using switch 5. Most applications use 9600 bps
(switch 6 UP), which is recommended when using long cable runs. Use the 38,400 bps setting (switch 6
DOWN) for short control lines only.
Switch 6 is not currently used.
Pro Tip
Double-check switch settings before you mount the camera.

Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Use only the power supply included with this product. Using a different one will void the warranty, and
could create unsafe operating conditions or damage the product.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these
things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
DomeVIEW enclosures are available to allow outdoor installation of RoboSHOT cameras. Learn more at
www.vaddio.com/products.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). We recommend using high-
quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the camera
system and void the warranty.
Note
Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. These can cause intermittent connections
and degraded signal quality, resulting in problems that may be hard to diagnose. Use
standard RJ-45 connectors.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
