Vaddio OneLINK Bridge Codec Kit for Polycom + RoboSHOT HDMI Cameras - 999-9640-000

Product Overview

The Vaddio 999-9640-000 OneLINK Bridge Codec Kit connects legacy RoboSHOT HDMI cameras to Polycom 300, 310, 500, or 700 series codecs, while simultaneously bridging those traditional codec systems into USB-based soft-client conferencing platforms. The kit extends power, video, and control over a single Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable up to 328 ft (100m), adds USB 3.0 output for soft-client compatibility, and includes a configurable audio matrix with AEC. It is designed for organizations that have invested in Polycom codec infrastructure and want to extend system flexibility without replacing cameras or codecs. Note: Compatible with legacy RoboSHOT 12 HDMI and RoboSHOT 30 HDMI cameras only. Not compatible with RoboSHOT 12E or 30E HDMI models.

Product Description

Organizations running Polycom codec systems often face a common dilemma as UCaaS adoption grows: their hardware codec investment is still functional, but their end-users are now using cloud-based conferencing platforms like Zoom, Webex, or Google Meet. The 999-9640-000 codec kit directly addresses this by bridging legacy Polycom codec systems into USB-based soft-client workflows — without requiring camera or codec replacement.

The core component is the OneLINK Bridge interface, which accepts the HDBaseT signal from a connected RoboSHOT HDMI camera and outputs simultaneous HDMI, USB 3.0, and HD-SDI signals. USB 3.0 output delivers an uncompressed HD media stream directly to a room PC or UC endpoint, enabling the camera to appear as a USB webcam to Zoom, Teams, Webex, and similar platforms. The HDMI output continues to feed the Polycom codec for traditional videoconferencing sessions. This dual-mode operation means a single camera can serve both the organization’s legacy codec calls and its cloud conferencing sessions.

HDBaseT extension over Cat-5e or Cat-6 carries power, video, and control from the AV rack to the camera — up to 328 ft in a single cable run. This decouples camera placement from codec placement, enabling larger rooms to be served without the camera being physically co-located with the codec rack. The configurable audio matrix with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) manages audio routing and suppresses echo for clean, professional audio on both hard-codec and soft-client calls.

The OneLINK HDMI EZIM included in the kit mounts near the camera and handles the HDBaseT-to-HDMI conversion at the camera end. All required cabling and connectivity hardware is included for a complete installation. For organizations needing the same integration with newer RoboSHOT 12E or 30E models, see the corresponding Vaddio OneLINK Bridge kits compatible with E-series cameras.

Key Features

• Bridges Polycom Codecs to USB Conferencing - Enables legacy Polycom 300, 310, 500, and 700 systems to connect to Zoom, Teams, Webex, and other soft-client platforms via USB 3.0 output.
• Single-Cable HDBaseT Extension - Power, video, and control over one Cat-5e cable up to 230 ft (70m) or Cat-6 up to 328 ft (100m), eliminating separate power runs to the camera.
• Simultaneous HDMI, USB 3.0, and HD-SDI Outputs - Three concurrent outputs support the Polycom codec, a connected PC for soft-client use, and optional HD-SDI recording or distribution.
• Up to 1080p/60 via USB - Uncompressed USB 3.0 stream delivers full HD resolution for cloud conferencing applications.
• Configurable Audio Matrix with AEC - Manages audio routing and echo cancellation for clean audio on both hard-codec and soft-client calls.
• Plug-and-Play for BYOD Environments - USB 3.0 output enables bring-your-own-device conferencing without additional drivers in most environments.
• Browser-Based Interface - Intuitive web UI for configuration and system administration from any networked device.
• Complete Installation Kit - Includes OneLINK Bridge interface, OneLINK HDMI EZIM, power supply, cabling, and connectors.

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms with existing Polycom codec infrastructure
• Government meeting rooms transitioning to hybrid UC workflows
• Training rooms requiring both traditional codec and soft-client conferencing
• Multi-purpose rooms with legacy AV systems being updated for UCaaS

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this kit compatible with the RoboSHOT 12E or 30E cameras?
No. The 999-9640-000 is designed for legacy RoboSHOT 12 HDMI and RoboSHOT 30 HDMI cameras only. It is not compatible with RoboSHOT 12E or 30E HDMI models. For E-series camera compatibility, see the appropriate OneLINK Bridge kits.

What Polycom codecs does this work with?
The kit is configured for Polycom 300, 310, 500, and 700 series codecs. Contact Creation Networks if you need to confirm compatibility with a specific Polycom model or firmware version.

Can the camera still be used with Zoom or Teams after installing this kit?
Yes. The USB 3.0 output enables the camera to appear as a USB webcam to any soft-client platform on a connected room PC — including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Google Meet — while the Polycom codec continues to function via HDMI.

How far can the camera be placed from the AV rack?
Up to 230 ft (70m) over Cat-5e, or up to 328 ft (100m) over Cat-6. The single cable carries power, video, and control between the camera and the OneLINK Bridge interface in the rack.

Does everything needed for installation come in the box?
Yes. The kit includes all required connectivity hardware: OneLINK Bridge, OneLINK HDMI EZIM, 48V power supply, cabling, phoenix connectors, and Polycom fan-out cable.

What warranty applies?
Vaddio commercial AV products carry a standard limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details and service options.
