How do I get the IP address of the RoboSHOT 30 HDBT camera?

Press and hold the Data Screen button on the IR remote for 3 seconds. The camera's IP and MAC addresses will be displayed on the video output. Alternatively, connect via RS-232 and send the appropriate inquiry command.

Can I mount the camera upside-down on a ceiling?

Yes. Set DIP switch 4 to DOWN (Image Flip ON) before mounting. Also adjust pan and tilt direction settings in the web interface if needed.

How do I store a camera preset using the IR remote?

Position the camera using the arrow and zoom buttons, then hold the Preset button and press a numbered preset button (1-6). To clear a preset, hold Reset and press the preset number.

What power options are available?

You can power the camera using the included 12 VDC, 3.0 A power supply, a PoE+ power injector, or a Vaddio OneLINK HDMI extension module. Do not use multiple power sources simultaneously.

How do I access the camera's web interface?

Enter the camera's IP address in a web browser. Default credentials: user password = password, admin password = password. The admin account provides full configuration access.

What is Tri-Synchronous Motion?

Tri-Synchronous Motion allows the camera to move all three axes (pan, tilt, zoom) simultaneously and smoothly at a defined speed when recalling a preset. This is useful for on-air transitions.

How do I reset the camera to factory defaults?

Via the web interface (System page), click Restore Factory Settings. Alternatively, set all DIP switches to the DOWN position and power cycle the camera. Note: This erases all custom settings.

Can I control multiple RoboSHOT cameras with one remote?

A Quick Look at the Camera

The RoboSHOT 12 and 30 models are similar. The RoboSHOT 12 is the camera on the left in the photo.

Front of the Camera

Two black and silver cameras with lens modules, displayed on a stand (no visible text or symbols)

■ Camera and Zoom Lens: The 12 and 30 models use different optical components.

• RoboSHOT 12 HDBT: 12X optical zoom lens (12X in Super-Wide mode and 10X in normal mode), Exmor 1/2.8-type, high-speed, low noise image sensor
• RoboSHOT 30 HDBT: 30X optical zoom lens, Exmor-R 1/2.8 type, backlit, high-speed, low-noise, image sensor

■ IR Sensors: Sensors in the front of the camera base receive signals from the remote. Make sure there's nothing directly in front of the camera base, and point the remote at the camera.

■ Status indicator: The multicolored LED indicates the camera's current state.

• Blue: Normal operation (blinks off momentarily when the camera receives a command from the remote)
• Purple: In standby mode or booting
• Yellow: Firmware update in progress
• Flashing purple: Error
• Red: On-air tally

Caution

Do not remove power or reset the camera while the indicator is yellow, showing a firmware upa progress. Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.

Back of the Camera

Rear panel connections are identical for both models.

From left to right:

■ Power connector: If not using a OneLINK HDMI extension module, use the 12 VDC, 3.0 A power supply shipped with the camera.
■ OneLINK HDBaseT/Network RJ-45 connector: If not using a OneLINK HDMI extension module, connect to the network.
■ HDMI connector: HDMI video output; connect to a display if not using a OneLINK HDMI extension module.
■ Video Resolution Select switch: Select the video output resolution.
■ Camera Settings DIP switches: Settings for IR remote frequency, baud rate and image flip.

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.

Video Resolution

Set the desired output resolution for the camera with the rotary switch. Switch positions 9 through D are not used.

Switch position	Resolution
0 720p/59.94
1 1080i/59.94
2 1080p/59.94
3 720p/60
4 1080i/60
5 1080p/60
6 720p/50
7 1080i/50
8 1080p/50
9 – D Not used
E 1080p/30
F 1080p/25

Camera Settings

Use the DIP switches to set 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.

Image Flip: If mounting the camera upside-down, set switch 4 to the DOWN position: IMAGE FLIP ON.

Super Wide Mode (RoboSHOT 12 HDBT only): To use Super-wide mode, set switch 5 to the DOWN position. This gives 12X zoom with a 73° horizontal angle of view. Normal mode provides 10X zoom with a 67.2° horizontal field of view (HFOV).

Baud Rate: Set the baud rate for RS-232 communication using switch 6. 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.

Leave Switch 7 in the default UP position unless sRGB color output is needed.

Switch 8 is not currently used.

Pro Tip

Double-check switch settings before you mount the camera.

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 c system and void the warranty.

Note

Use standard RJ-45 connectors and a good crimping tool. Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. Poorly crimped connectors can damage the connectors on the product, cause intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Test cable pin-outs and continuity before connecting them.

Intact - Contact fingers will make reliable contact with the cable connector

Damaged - Some contact fingers are bent and will NOT make reliable contact with the cable connector

Pro Tip

To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.

Installing the Wall Mount

All RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount. Other mounting options are available as well. Contact us if you don't have the camera mount you need.

You can install the camera wall mount to a 2-gang wall box or directly to the drywall.

■ If you mount it to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the wall mount.
■ If you mount it to a wall box, use the cover plate screws supplied with the wall box.

About Ceiling-Mounted Cameras

Web Interface

The camera provides a web interface to allow control via an Ethernet network connection, using a browser. The web interface gives the user more control over the camera than the IR remote offers.

The web interface allows user-level camera control and password-protected administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address, viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates.

• Administrative access – The default password is password. The admin has access to all pages of the web interface.
• User access – The default password is password. Only the camera control page is available with user-level access.

If the LAN has a DHCP server, the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to browse to it. In the absence of a DHCP server, the camera's default IP address is 169.254.1.1 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

You can configure the camera's static IP address either through the network or from a computer connected directly to its Ethernet port. You may need a crossover cable.

Note

If the camera is used with a OneLINK device, the two devices have separate IP addresses and its own web interface.

Web Tasks for All Users: Controlling the Camera

CAMERA CONTROLS PAGE

The Camera Controls page provides most of the same controls as the IR Remote Commander, along with some that are not available from the remote:

■ Pan, tilt, zoom, or return to "home" position
■ Put the camera in standby or bring it back to the ready state
■ Set speeds for camera movements
■ Focus manually or set auto-focus
■ Set or move to camera presets
■ Select one of the stored lighting adjustments
■ Set the way the camera responds to the arrow buttons on the remote

Since the web interface is specific to the camera you are working with, it does not offer camera selection.

Note

Administrators can also customize the camera's home position from this page.

Switching the Camera Off or On

Use the Standby button to switch between low-power (standby) and ready states.

On entering standby mode, the camera moves to its standby position.

Moving the Camera

Use the arrow buttons for camera pan and tilt. The center button moves the camera to the home position.

Zooming In or Out

Use the Zoom + button to zoom in and the Zoom - button to zoom out.

Changing the Focus

Open the Focus control to select Auto-focus, or set manual focus with the + (near) and - (far) buttons. I know you get this, but I'm going to say it anyway: The + and - buttons don't work when the Auto Focus box is checked.

Moving the Camera to a Preset Position

Use the numbered Preset buttons to move the camera to any of its programmed positions. If you select a preset that has not yet been programmed, nothing happens.

Selecting the Appropriate Color Settings

Adjust the camera for the lighting in use by selecting the CCU scene that best fits your environment. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to be specific) have already set up presets for common lighting scenarios – Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to determine the appropriate adjustments.

The first three settings in this area of the web interface (initially labeled Custom A through Custom C) can be set and renamed from the Camera Settings page, accessible to admin users.

Storing a Camera Preset

1. Set up the camera shot, then use the Store button to open the Store Preset box.
2. Click one of the numbered preset buttons.
3. Check Save with Tri-Sync to allow the pan, tilt, and zoom motors to move simultaneously.
4. If necessary, use the speed slider to set Tri-Sync speed. For tight shots, slower is better.
5. To save the current color settings along with the camera position, check Save with current color settings.
6. Save the preset.

Note:

The Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithm works best for on-air shots requiring significant movement in than one axis. It is not useful when moving the camera less than 10^ or when the camera is You may need to experiment with the Tri-Sync setting.

Changing the Speed of Camera Movements

Use the speed sliders to adjust the speed of movements that you control with the buttons for pan, tilt and zoom. For tight shots, slower is usually better.

Setting Pan Direction

By default, the arrow buttons move the camera in the direction that viewers at the far end would see. If you face the camera and use the left arrow button, the camera pans to your right.

To switch the camera pan direction to the near end point of view, use the Settings button to open the pan and tilt direction box. Then set Pan Direction to Inverted.

Setting Tilt Direction

Tilt direction can also be normal or inverted. Set it according to what will be the most intuitive for the people most likely to be controlling the camera.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Setting a Custom Home Position

CAMERA SETTINGS PAGE

If you are logged in as admin, you can set a custom Home preset in place of the camera's default home position (0° pan and 0° tilt). The Home preset is not available in the Store Preset box if you are not logged as admin.

Set up the shot and store the custom Home position as you would for any other preset. Like other presets, the custom Home preset can include color, speed, and Tri-Synchronous Motion settings.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Managing Access and Passwords

SECURITY PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

• Allow people to access the Camera Control screen without logging on (Allow Guest Access)
  ■ Set whether inactive sessions log off automatically or not (Automatically Expire Idle Sessions)
  ■ Change the password for the admin account
  ■ Change the password for the user account

Note

For best security, Vaddio strongly recommends changing the user and admin passwords from the default. Using the default passwords leaves the product vulnerable to tampering.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Adding Room Information to the Web Interface

ROOM LABELS PAGE

To display your company name, conference room name and phone number, and the number for meeting hosts to call for in-house A/V support, enter this information on the Room Labels page.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Configuring Network Settings

NETWORKING PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

■ Specify time zone and NTP server
- Assign the camera's hostname
■ Specify DHCP or static IP address
■ Set up other networking information

DHCP is the default setting, but the camera will use the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no DHCP server is available.

You will only be able to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if you set IP Address to Static.

Caution

Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very with the characteristics and configuration of the network where you install the camera. Errors in r configuration can make the camera and its IP stream inaccessible from the network.

Specifying Time Zone and NTP Server

1. To make the time zone and NTP server editable, enable Automatic NTP Updating.
2. Select the desired time zone from the list.
3. If desired, specify the NTP server to use. Otherwise, use the default.
   You may need to refresh the system time display.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Configuring Streaming Settings

STREAMING PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

■ Enable or disable IP streaming
■ Set the resolution, video quality, and frame rate for IP streaming
■ Specify the IP streaming port and path/URL

The camera uses the RTSP protocol for H.264 streaming. Resolutions range from 1080p down to CIF; frame rates are 30/25/15 for 1080p and 60/30/25/15 for all other resolutions.

Enabling or Disabling Streaming

IP streaming is enabled by default. Use the Enable IP Streaming checkbox to change this. Save the change before you leave this page of the web interface.

Editing IP Streaming Settings

Note

The web interface presents all the possible streaming resolutions values, but the IP stream cannot higher than the value set with the video resolution switch on the back of the camera. (See Video Resolution for information on setting the switch.) If the selected value is out of range, the camera will adjust the streaming resolution.

If you are not sure about these settings, start with the defaults.

1. Select the video Quality Mode: Easy or Custom. Easy automatically sets the recommended frame rate; Custom provides additional control.
2. Select the desired IP streaming resolution.
3. Easy quality mode only: Select Video Quality.
4. Custom quality mode only: Select the desired IP streaming frame rate.
5. Custom quality mode only: Select Constant or Variable bit rate.
6. Custom quality mode, Variable bit rate only: Set the Quality (Quantization) slider.
7. Save your changes.

Advanced IP Streaming Settings

RTSP port: Vaddio strongly recommends using the default RTSP port number unless you need to change it.

Streaming URL: If necessary, edit the path to change the portion of the streaming URL that appears after the IP address.

Save your changes.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Setting Camera Behaviors and Adjustments

CAMERA SETTINGS PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

■ Set up and name custom color and lighting settings.
■ Set the pan, tilt, and zoom speeds that will be used for movements other than recalling presets saved with Tri-Synchronous Motion.

Setting Up Custom Color and Lighting Settings

You can customize the camera's color and lighting settings as a one-time adjustment, or save the adjustments as one of the three custom CCU scenes.

1. Click any of the CCU scene buttons to load one of the CCU scenes into the camera, then fine-tune it as needed using the Color Settings controls.

2. To allow the camera to compensate automatically for the light level, check the Auto Iris box. Leave it unchecked to adjust iris and gain manually.

3. Auto Iris adjustments – these adjust contrast between the brightest and darkest areas of the image.

■ If there is bright light behind the main subject of the shot, check the box for Back Light
Compensation.
■ To increase contrast between the brightest and darkest areas, check the box for Wide Dynamic Range.

Note

Because Backlight Compensation reduces the contrast between extremes and Wide Dynamic Range increases it, they cannot be used together.

1. To allow the camera to adjust the white balance automatically, check the Auto White Balance box. Leave it unchecked to adjust red gain and blue gain manually.

2. Detail - adjust the slider as required for the right image sharpness.

Note

If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting. As in conversation, too much

1. Chroma - adjust the slider as needed for the right level of color intensity.
2. Gamma - adjust the slider as needed for the desired range between bright areas and shadows.
3. When the scene looks the way you want it to, click Store CCU Scene.
4. In the Store CCU Scene dialog box, select which custom scene to store (Custom A, B, or C) and optionally give it a descriptive name. You can rename it later if necessary.
5. Name and save your custom scene.

If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto White Balance.

Renaming a Custom CCU Scene

In the Custom CCU Scene Labels section, edit the text for the desired CCU scene label.

Setting Pan, Tilt, and Zoom Speeds

In the Global Preset Non-Tri-Sync Speeds section, set the speeds for movements to presets that do not use Tri-Synchronous Motion.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Rebooting, Updating, and Resetting

SYSTEM PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

■ Reboot the camera
■ Back up or restore the camera configuration
■ Run a firmware update
■ Set the camera back to its original factory settings
- Read (but not change) the current settings of the switches on the back of the camera
■ Set the camera's soft DIP switch to specify the LED color scheme

Rebooting the Camera

This can help if the camera stops responding as you expect. In the System Utilities section, click Reboot.

Saving (Exporting) or Restoring (Importing) a Configuration

If you need to configure several cameras the same way, you can configure the first one, export its configuration (Export Data button), and then import the configuration to the other cameras (Import Data button in each camera's web interface). The export downloads to your computer as a .dat file. The filename is the camera's hostname.

Certain information is not included in the configuration, such as hostname and passwords.

Note

The camera cannot import a .dat file that was exported from a camera using a different version

Starting a Firmware Update

If you prefer more detail than this procedure, please refer to the Release Notes for step-by-step instructions with screen shots.

1. Locate and download the firmware and its release notes.
2. Select Choose File, then browse to the firmware that you downloaded and select it. The filename ends with .p7m.
3. Click Begin Firmware Update.
4. READ the information in the Confirm dialog box and be sure you understand it. It may seem boring, but it could save you some time and aggravation.
5. When you are ready to start the update, click Continue. A progress message box opens and the indicator light on the front of the camera turns yellow to show the firmware update is in progress. If the update process presents warnings or error messages, read them carefully.

The process may take a few minutes.

Caution

Ensure that the camera stays powered on and connected to the network during the update. Inter update could make the camera unusable.

The camera reboots when the update is complete.

Restoring Factory Settings

Sometimes it's easiest to just start over. To restore the original factory settings...click Restore Factory Settings. This will overwrite anything you have customized, such as custom CCU scenes and presets.

Reading the Camera's Back Panel Switches

Open the DIP Switches tab to see the camera's current switch settings.

Note:

Sorry, you have to physically move the switches on the back of the camera if you need to ch hardware settings.

Setting the LED Color Scheme

DIP SWITCHES TAB

Use the camera's soft DIP switch to set the LED color scheme (Pro A/V or UCC). At this time, they are functionally identical on this camera.

Web Tasks for Administrators: Viewing Diagnostic Logs

DIAGNOSTICS PAGE

If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, your Vaddio technical support representative may ask you to download and email the log file available from the Diagnostics page.

Telnet Serial Command API

The Vaddio serial command protocol is a high-level, text-based command line interface supported via Telnet session on the camera. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port; the default Telnet port is 23. Telnet sessions require the administrator account login.

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.

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 ccu get iris

RESPONSE: > iris 11

Syntax Error Example

COMMAND: > camera right pan

RESPONSE: > ERROR

Using a question mark as a command parameter will bring up a list of available commands for the menu you are in.

Things to know about control via Telnet session:

■ Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
■ All ASCII characters (including carriage returns) are echoed to the terminal program and appended with the VT100 string ESC[J (hex 1B 5B 4A), which most terminal programs automatically strip.
■ CTRL-5 Clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Typographical conventions:

■ {x | y | z} - Choose x, y, or z.
- – Substitute the desired value here.
■ < x - y > - Valid range of values is from x through y.
■ [optional] – Parameter is not required.

Troubleshooting and Care

When the camera doesn't behave as you expect, check the color of the indicator light on the front before you do anything else.

■ Blue: Normal operation (blinks off momentarily when the camera receives a command from the remote)
■ Purple: In standby mode or booting
■ Yellow: Firmware update in progress
■ Flashing purple: Error
■ Red: On-air tally

Stuff happens – we get it. Use this table to determine whether it's time to call Vaddio Technical Support.

What is it doing? Possible causes Check and correct
Nothing.The light on the front is off.	If a OneLINK extension module is used: The camera not connected to the OneLINK module.	Plug the OneLINK module into the camera.Plug the OneLINK module's power supply into a wall outlet.
	If a OneLINK extension module is used: The OneLINK power supply is not connected.	Test by connecting the camera directly K the 12VDC power pack that was shipped with it.CautionDo not connect the camera to the 48 VDC OneLINK power pack. This will damage the camera and void its warranty.If the camera works when it is connected to its 12 VDC power supply, but not when connected to the the OneLINK module, the OneLINK is bad.Contact your reseller or Vaddio Technical Support.
	If a OneLINK extension module is used: The OneLINK module is not working properly.
	Insufficient power using a PoE+ power injector – PoE does injector.
	At least one of the cables is bad.
	The camera or its power sur Iqptact your reseller or Vaddio is bad.
	The wall outlet is not active. Use a different outlet.(Check by finding out if it powers something else, such as a laptop or phone charger.)
The camera never finishes initializing and the light is put in an initial power source.	Insufficient power using a PoE+ power injector instead. Inverter.
The camera is not responding the remote and the light is yellow.	At firmware update is in progress.	Wait a few minutes, and try again when the light turns blue.
The camera does not respond the remote, but the web interface is available	The remote is not using the same IR channel as the camera.	Push the Camera Select 1 button on the remote. Try the other Camera Select buttons if necessary.
	IR is switched off (DIP switch 3 down)	Turn IR on (DIP switch 3 up) - see Camera Settings for more information.
	The batteries in the remote dead.	Not new batteries in the remote.
The camera responds to the remote but the web interface not available.	The camera is not using the address you browsed to.	Press the Data Screen button on the remote to see camera information.
	The web interface has stopped responding.	Reboot the camera.
