O
VERVIEW
The RoboSHOT HDMI PTZ cameras are professional quality cameras with very high quality
imaging, fine detail and exceptional color reproduction. These cameras offer integrators,
dealers and end users a substantial price/performance improvement over and above the
value of other HDMI cameras available today.
The RoboSHOT 12 HDMI is perfect for small to medium sized conference rooms, training
rooms or classrooms and provides incomparable support for applications including, UC
conferencing, videoconferencing, distance learning, lecture capture, telepresence and
more!
The optical zoom power of the RoboSHOT 30 HDMI is ideal for medium
to large venues and provides exceptional support for applications
including, House of Worship services, large auditorium A/V systems, live
event theatres, IMAG for performances, large lecture theatres with lecture
capture and more!
The key features of the RoboSHOT cameras are Tri-Synchronous Motion,
the silent, smooth direct drive pan/tilt motors, advanced Exmor® image
sensor, multi-element glass 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 these camera’s awesome video performance characteristics.
The RoboSHOT 12 HDMI lens features a 12X optical zoom with a 73° wide horizontal field of view and the powerful
RoboSHOT 30 HDMI features a 30 X optical zoom with an impressive 2.3° tele end and 65° wide field of vie w. The latest
generation Exmor® 1/2.8”, 2.38 Megapixel, Full HD (native 1080p/60) high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor combined
with the new ISP produces vivid, realistic color with extremely fast, razor sharp automatic focus and iris routines.
The RoboSHOT HDMI cameras have an Ethernet port and a built-in web server,
which allows the user to control the camera functions on a web page with any
browser over the IP network. Telnet, IR Remote and RS-232 control for the
camera are available to satisfy almost any, if not all, 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 project than with the RoboSHOT HDMI cameras

ROBOSHOT HDMI SWITCH SETTINGS
The RoboSHOT cameras control the resolution of the video signal. 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.
Drawing: DIP Switch and Resolution Label on the Bottom of the RoboSHOT
Setting the RoboSHOT Switch Gear:
① - Set the desired available HD output resol ution for the camera with the Rotary Switch.
② - Set the IR control frequency of the came ra if it is to respond to the IR remote control.
③ - If using the IR forwarding features with a 3rd party codec IR remote, set the IR OUT switch to ON (SW3).
④ - If inverting the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (SW4).
⑤ - Fo r 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 9600bp s for most appl ications. Default is 9600 bps systems.
⑦ - Set the color space for HDMI (YCbCr ) or for DVI-D (sRGB).
⑧ - Setting all DIP switches DOWN with a power cy cle loads the default camera settings. Return DIPs to desired
operating position after power cycle.
Note: Switch 8 is 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 e nd.
Image Flip (SW4): To invert the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (switch down).
Super-Wide Mode: Super-wide works only with the RoboSHOT 1 2 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 bau d rate are either 9600 or 38 ,400 bps. The 9600 bps works best with Cat-
5e over distance. Use 38,400 bp s for short control lines only.
DIP Switches (SW7 & 8): Not used for operation, please leave these DIP switches up or in the OFF positio n.

NSTALLATION
B
ASICS
:
All RoboSHOT cameras includ e a Thin Profile Wall Mount for…wall mounting the camera. There are options for IN-
Wall™ mounts and IN-Ceiling™ Half-Re ce ssed as we ll.
Pre-Installation
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 .
Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with the ability to point down and away
from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent lighting cell s. Cameras generally don’t like to be swamped with
fluorescent light and nobody sits on the ceiling anyway.
The included RoboSHOT wall mo unt can be m ounted directly to a 2-gang wall b ox or can be mounted t o the wall
using the provided dry wall anch ors.
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 crimped on by real crimpers (568B termination) from the camera’s RS-232 Port to the
controllers 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 DB-9F in some circles) to RJ-45F control adapter is supplied.
Determine Camera Mount Location and Mount
After determining the optimum location of the camera, route the required cables
(HDMI, Power and RS-232) from the camera to the head-end. There are two
cable management pass-throughs on the provided mount; one in the back to
pass-through into the wall and one in the platform to allow the cabling escape
straight down behind a video monitor.
If the wall mount is to be mounted on a 2-gang wall 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.
Power Up
Connect the supplied 12 VDC, 3.0 Amp power supply to a power outlet
The camera will wake up and initialize (this will take a few seconds since
RoboSHOTs use a Li nux OS). When an image is available, the camera is ready
to accept control information from the IR remote, RS-232, Telnet or embedded
web server. We recommend that since there are 4 ways to control the
RoboSHOT, pick one and run with it.
Use a level to
level the mount…

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 co mpute r, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the step s are the same fo r
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.

Screen Shot: Camera Control Page
This web page provides acce ss to the camera controls for the User and the Admin.
1) Pan, Tilt and Home Controls: These intuitive controls use the up/down and diagona l 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 ca n be controlled with the “+” to zoom-in and the “-“to zoom out.
3) Focus Control: Pop up allows the choice of Auto-focus or manual focus with near (+) and far (-) manual focus buttons.
4) 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 slo wer speed is used. These controls are for real-time
camera movements only.
5) 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 do wnward (t o not collect du st on the lens). When the c amera is inverte d (ceiling moun ted)
the camera will pan 90º from center and 30º do wnward. If the system is on, then the b utton will be blu e and controls will be
visible. If the button is red, no controls ar e accessible a nd the scree n states: Device is in standby. Click to po wer-up, then
you’ll know what to do.
6) Camera Presets: Twelve (12) camera position presets can be recalled simply by clickin g a preset n umber.
7) 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 numb er (1 through 12). The preset is stored and the dialog box closes. T he Store
Preset dialog bow will prompt the operator to enter the T ri-Sync speed to the stored camera preset and if the current color
settings are to be stored with the preset too (see the ne xt page).
8) CCU Scenes: 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 prec on figured b y the technical folks at Vaddi o (reall y Scott set them all) that are mean t
to be used in certain lighting scenarios. These lighting presets included: Automatic, Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo,
Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo and Outdoor.

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 se tting 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 appro ximate position above (about 1/3 up the spee d 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 bo x 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.

API
The Vaddio Serial Comma nd p rotocol i s a high level t ext based co mmand li ne i nterface sup p orted via tel net se ssi on
on the RoboSHOT. The command application pr otocol interface is intended to al low external device su ch 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 termin al 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 in cludes:
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 serve r. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are terminated
with a carriage return.
