Product Description

Many organizations deployed Polycom RealPresence Group codec systems paired with Vaddio HDBaseT cameras. As UCaaS platforms have become the primary conferencing medium, these facilities need a path to connect their existing infrastructure to Zoom, Teams, and Webex without replacing functional equipment.

The 999-9645-000 provides exactly that bridge. The OneLINK Bridge interface accepts video and control from a compatible Vaddio HDBaseT camera, routes it via HDBaseT to the AV rack, and outputs simultaneous HDMI (for the Polycom codec), USB 3.0 (for a room PC running Zoom or Teams), and HD-SDI. This means the Polycom codec retains full functionality for traditional codec-based calls while the USB 3.0 output makes the camera available to any soft client. Both call types run from the same room simultaneously without reconfiguration.

A configurable audio matrix with AEC handles audio routing and echo cancellation for both hard-codec and soft-client call types. A browser-based web interface provides system configuration and management. The bundle includes a Polycom fan-out cable, USB 3.0 cable, EZCamera RS-232 adapter, 48V power supply, and phoenix-style connectors.
