RoboSHOT HD Cameras
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
(568B termination) from the RS-232 port on the back of the Quick-Connect interface to the camera's 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.
More Notes: Use of pass-thru type RJ-45 connectors is highly discouraged. The Vaddio Cat-5 wiring
standard uses pins 1, 2, 7 and 8 on both the power/video and the control Cat-5e cables. The pass-through
connectors have proven to provide insufficient connectivity for these important signals. They are OK for
voice and data that use the center pins only, but not for cabling systems that use all the pins.

Setting the RoboSHOT Camera HD Resolution

The RoboSHOT cameras control the resolution of the video signal sent back to the Quick-Connect interface. There
is, as explained on the page 9, a rotary switch to set the HD video resolution and a set of eight (8) dip switches that
determine certain camera functions. See the drawing and description on how to setup the camera.

Setting the RoboSHOT Switch Gear:

1) Set the desired and 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
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, 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 9600bps for most applications. Default is 9600 bps systems.
7) Setting all dip switches DOWN with a power cycle loads the default camera settings. Return dips to desired
operating position after power cycle
Note: Switches 7 & 8 are 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. When using RS-
232 control or Vaddio CCU controllers (also via RS-232), turn the IR OUT to OFF (up).

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 67.3º wide end HFOV to a Super Wide 73º 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.
