RoboSHOT 30 HD PTZ Camera
The all-new RoboSHOT 30 HD PTZ Camera is a powerful, professional quality PTZ camera with high quality imaging, exceptional detail and marvelous color reproduction. This camera offers integrators, dealers and end users with an incredible advantage over other professional PTZ cameras available today.
HDMI, YPbPr, USB 2.0 or H.264 Streaming Outputs
Power/Video/Control on two Cat-5's up to 150' (45.72m) for ZoomSHOT/WideSHOT series cameras
Power/Video/Control on two Cat-5's up to 100' (30.5m) for RoboSHOT, PowerVIEW and ClearVIEW series cameras
Embedded Web Server for browser-based robotic camera control and CCU image and color control
The optical zoom power of the RoboSHOT 30 is perfect for medium to large rooms and provides exceptional support for applications including, House of Worship services, large auditorium A/V systems, large distance learning classrooms, 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 direct drive pan/tilt motors, advanced Exmor image sensor, multi-element 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 shot simultaneously, which allows for smooth and useable on-air camera movements. That's right, there's no more pan/tilt, then zoom like other PTZ cameras available today.
The lens, image sensor and ISP are the magic beans behind this camera's remarkable video performance characteristics. The lens is a powerful, glass, multi-element lens featuring a 30X optical zoom with an impressive 2.3deg. tele end and 63.7deg. wide field of view. The Exmor 1/2.8", 2.34 Megapixel, Full HD (1080p/60) high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor combined with the Advanced ISP produces totally awesome, vivid, realistic color with super-fast, razor sharp auto focus and iris routines.
The RoboSHOT 30 uses the Vaddio EZCamera System to transport HSDS differential video, power and control to and from the camera over Cat-5e cables. The proven Quick-Connect Interfaces immediately provide the ultimate in configuration flexibility. The RoboSHOT 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 from anywhere in the world 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 30 was designed for the times and represents a new era in specifying and integrating professional quality cameras into large room system integrations. In short, it has never been easier to integrate cameras into any large to medium room system than with the RoboSHOT 30.
Quick-Connect USB Interface
The Quick-Connect USB (QC-USB) Interface for Vaddio cameras is the most flexible video, power and control camera interface available on today's market. This robust system uses the Vaddio EZCamera Cabling system and uses two Cat-5 cables to provide power, return HSDS video and extends RS-232 control signaling to the camera up to a distance of 100' (30.48m) with PTZ motorized cameras and up to 150' (45.72m) with ZoomSHOT & WideSHOT stationary POV cameras.
The Quick-Connect USB was designed to have multi-format digital and analog video outputs, it's compatible with all existing and forthcoming Vaddio cameras and like all other Vaddio interface products, it's an entirely unique interface that is easy to use and represents a tremendous value for integrators and end users alike.
Starting with the front panel, the backlit LCD is an ODV (omni-directional view), ABN (advanced black nematic) type of display that achieves superior front screen performance while offering a high contrast and wide viewing angle combined with high visibility. The LCD will display the MAC (HW for Hardware) and IP addresses allowing for easy access to the internal webpages and camera settings for a PC or BYOD (bring your own device - laptop or tablet) over the network. The QC-USB has a front panel system reset switch as well as LED indicators on the front panel to show if the system is streaming USB 2.0 (UVC) MJPEG, IP (H.264) video or if the network is in general use.
The QC-USB rear panel includes the USB 2.0 connection and the Ethernet 10/100 connection to provide for USB 2.0 streaming or IP video streaming and IP control. The USB 2.0 uses the standard UVC (Universal Video Class) drivers built-in to the OS of the computer, which means that no pesky programs or additional drivers and the associated headaches are required. Any compatible UC client using UVC drivers can be used. The system also streams IP video (H.264) and supports both RTSP and HLS (HTTP Live Streaming, Apple's variant on HTTP streaming).
An embedded web server provides for browser-based access of robotic camera controls, camera presets and rudimentary CCU functions (color and shading/painting controls) as well as the video configuration web pages. Analog and HDMI video outputs are also included and output the same video resolution that is sent from the camera simultaneously. The USB and IP resolutions are independent from the standard HD video outputs. The EZ-Power Video and RS-232 jacks are on RJ-45's and are cabled to the corresponding RJ-45 connections on the Vaddio cameras. The RS-232 IN is supplied to connect a camera controller or control system if needed.
