OVERVIEW
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.

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 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 - If using the IR forwarding features with a 3^rd party codec IR remote, set the IR OUT switch to ON (SW3).
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, 73^ horizontal super-wide angle of view. Normal mode will produce 67.2^ 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 - Set the color space for HDMI (YCbCr) or for DVI-D (sRGB).
⑧ - Setting all DIP switches DOWN with a power cycle 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 end.
• 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 67.3° wide end HFOV to a Super Wide 73° 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.
INSTALLATION BASICS:
All RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount for...wall mounting the camera. There are options for IN-Wall™ mounts and IN-Ceiling™ Half-Recessed as well.
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 cells. Cameras generally don't like to be swamped with fluorescent light and nobody sits on the ceiling anyway.
- The included RoboSHOT wall mount can be mounted directly to a 2-gang wall box or can be mounted to the wall using the provided dry wall anchors.

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 1/4"-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 Linux 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.

The IR Remote operational characteristics are as follows:
- Preset Activation: IR Remote is limited to executing Presets 1 through 6
- Tri-Sync Speed on Preset: If a global Tri-Sync speed is stored in the preset by the user/admin, then that speed is used. If no Tri-Sync speed is assigned, then a default (medium) speed will be used.
- Preset Store: IR Remote is limited to positional (PTZ) type presets. To set a preset, position the camera, hold down the Preset Button and touch the one of the preset numbered buttons 1 through 6.
Telnet Control Examples
The following Telnet* commands are available through the Ethernet Port.
- Camera Home
• Camera Pan (left, right and speed - real-time operation) - Camera Tilt (up, down and speed - real-time operation)
• Camera Zoom (zoom in/out/stop and speed - real-time operation)
• Camera Store Preset (Gets or Sets 16 presets with global relative PTZ [Tri-Sync] speed control to destination) - Camera CCU(Gets or sets current image control values, sets in 1 of 3 CCU presets)
(AWB or manual w/Red and Blue gain, BLC on/off, Auto Iris or manual with Iris value and Gain, Detail and Chroma)
• Camera Standby (Gets or sets standby power mode - camera uses less power in this mode)

• Network Ping (send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network hosts)
• Network Settings (Gets MAC address, IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and NTP server address)
• System Factory Reset - System Reboot
• Version (system version information) - Exit (ends Telnet session)

*Please see the full and actual Telnet command list at the end of this manual for the actual command set.
The RoboSHOT camera platform uses a Linux OS and has a built-in web server. The internal web pages will allow control of the attached camera via an Ethernet network connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to control the camera, set PTZ presets, set security passwords, change the IP address, view diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more!
Compatible Web Browsers
You may ask, "What are the approved web browsers that work with the RoboSHOT's embedded web server?" The answer is Chrome® (latest version), Firefox® (latest version), Internet Explorer® (versions 8 through 11) and Safari® (versions 6 and 7) have been tested thoroughly with RoboSHOT and are compatible.
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 computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same for 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 access to the camera controls for the User and the Admin.

1) Pan, Tilt and Home Controls: These intuitive controls use the up/down and diagonal 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 can 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 slower 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 90° from center and 30° downward (to not collect dust on the lens). When the camera is inverted (ceiling mounted) the camera will pan 90° from center and 30° downward. If the system is on, then the button will be blue and controls will be visible. If the button is red, no controls are accessible and the screen states: Device is in standby. Click to power-up, then you'll know what to do.
6) Camera Presets: Twelve (12) camera position presets can be recalled simply by clicking a preset number.
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 number (1 through 12). The preset is stored and the dialog box closes. The Store Preset dialog bow will prompt the operator to enter the Tri-Sync speed to the stored camera preset and if the current color settings are to be stored with the preset too (see the next 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 preconfigured by the technical folks at Vaddio (really Scott set them all) that are meant 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 setting 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 approximate position above (about 1/3 up the speed 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 box and set the slider to about 12 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 within 10^9 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.
Screen Shot: Admin login from the Camera Control Page
On the security page, which will be reviewed at a bit later in the tour, allows the Admin to set the system to allow automatic guest access to the main camera control page. If guest access is turned on by the Admin, then system will open to the camera control page and an additional Admin Login is provided.
The default Admin password is: password.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - Camera Settings
Once the Admin logs in, then all the admin menu buttons appear on the left side of the screen. The first menu after Camera Controls is Camera Settings.

1) Load Preset at Startup: Check this box to move the camera to a predefined preset location when the camera powers up. Use the pull down menu to select the Preset 1 through 12 to be loaded when this box is checked.
2) Load CCU Scene at Startup: Check this box to load a CCU Scene into the camera when the camera powers up. The pull down menu will allow the selection of one of the 6-factory scenes, or one of the 3 custom scenes.
3) CCU Scenes: Click on any of these 9 buttons to load one of the CCU scenes into the camera. These Scenes can be fine-tuned if changes are needed, and stored into any of the three User defined scenes.
4) Color Settings: When painting or shading camera scenes for specific lighting situations or environments, these parameters can be adjusted for matching cameras in the same area. The parameters within the Color Settings section are defined below (top to bottom):
- Auto Iris Check Box: When checked, the camera will operate in Auto Iris mode, when unchecked, the camera will be in Manual Iris mode and allow adjustment of Iris and Iris Gain levels.
-
Iris: Move adjustment slider as required to adjust the iris opening. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.
-
Gain: Move adjustment slider as required for amount of iris gain desired. Numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.
-
Auto White Balance check box: When checked, camera will operate in Auto White Balance mode, when unchecked camera will be in Manual White Balance Mode and allow for adjustment of Red and Blue Gain.
-
Red Gain: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of Red Gain desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.
-
Blue Gain: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of Blue Gain desired. Numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.
-
Back Light Compensation: When checked, Back Light Compensation will be applied to the camera if camera is in Auto White Balance mode.
- Detail: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of detail (Aperture) desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider. Note: If the detail is too high, the video can look grainy and appear noisy too.
- Chroma: Move the adjustment slider as required for the amount of Chroma (Color Vibrancy) desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.
5) Store CCU Scene button: Once the desired scene adjustments have been made, this button will activate a pop-up menu that can be used to store this scene into one of the three User Defined Scene locations. These User Defined Scenes can be named as required for clarity. These User Defined CCU Scenes can be adjusted and re-saved at any time.

6) Custom CCU Scene Labels: The labels for the (3) User Defined customizable Scenes can be changed as needed. Mouse the cursor into the appropriate window and edit the text. Press Save to store these changes or press Cancel to exit this window.
7) Global Preset Non-Tri-Sync Speeds: When Tri-Sync Presets are not being used, then this section governs the pan, tilt and zoom speeds between the camera presets. These will be defaulted to a nominal level, but can be tailored to most any application.
Screen Shot: Admin Menu - Room Labels
The Room Labels menu allows the Admin to label the company name, room name, room phone and help phone on a per RoboSHOT basis. The labels appear on every page at the top/middle of the page. Simply enter the room information and click Save.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - DHCP Network Configuration
Under the Networking menu, The Network Configuration and Network Interfaces are displayed. This is where the Network administrator assigns either DHCP or a Static address and the associated parameters.

Notes: 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.
Screen SHOT: Admin Menu - Static IP Configuration
If Static IP is used, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway are manually entered. Click on Save to keep the Static IP information.

Screen SHOT: Admin Menu - Security
The Security menu allows the Admin to set the Admin and User account names and passwords. There is only one "user" password and only one "admin" password at any given time. If changes are made, click on Save to store the change (it's best to write down the new names and passwords). A Guest Access check box is provided to let any user access the camera control page without logging in. An Admin Login is provided on the camera control page if the "Allow Guest Access" box is checked.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - Diagnostics
Diagnostics menu button will display a set of self-diagnostics. These diagnostics may help the Vaddio technical support team diagnose a problem with the RoboSHOT camera.

TELNET SERIAL COMMAND API
The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet session on the RoboSHOT. The command application protocol interface is intended to allow external device such 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 terminal 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 includes:
• 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 server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
