Vaddio RoboFLIP 4K HDBT OneLINK HDMI System - Recessed Ceiling PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboFLIP 4K HDBT OneLINK HDMI System is a recessed ceiling PTZ camera solution for boardrooms, courtrooms, law offices, and commercial meeting spaces where verified video-active status is required. The system pairs the RoboFLIP 4K HDBT in-ceiling PTZ camera with the OneLINK HDMI receiver, extending 4K/30 video, PoE++ power, and control up to 328 ft (100 m) over a single Cat5e/Cat6 HDBaseT cable. The camera's unique flipping mechanism rotates fully into its enclosure during standby mode, giving room occupants and facilities staff clear visual confirmation that no video feed is active. With 30x zoom and a 70.2° wide-angle field of view, this ceiling PTZ camera delivers broadcast-quality 4K imagery across a wide range of installation environments.

Product Description

The RoboFLIP 4K HDBT OneLINK HDMI System (SKU: 999-99800-100) combines Vaddio's architectural in-ceiling PTZ camera with the OneLINK HDMI interface for a complete single-cable ceiling installation. The 1/2.5" Exmor R CMOS sensor captures 4K/30 video at 8.51 megapixels, with a 30x zoom range spanning from 70.2° wide angle to 3.1° tele—sufficient for full-room coverage or close-up detail of presenters and documents from a ceiling-mounted position.

Vaddio's Tri-Synchronous Motion technology drives silent BLDC direct-drive motors that enable simultaneous pan, tilt, and zoom at speeds up to 120°/sec with no mechanical noise. Pan range is ±160° with tilt from +90° to −30°, accommodating a wide variety of ceiling heights and room geometries. The single HDBT port on the camera carries PoE++ power, 4K video, control signals, and network connectivity to the OneLINK HDMI receiver, which then provides HDMI and USB 3.0 outputs to connected systems. Simultaneous IP H.264 streaming runs alongside the HDBaseT video output for independent remote monitoring or recording.

Control is available via Telnet, RS-232, the included IR remote, or Vaddio's optional Device Controller touch panel. The modern web interface allows integrators to manage 16 stored PTZ presets, adjust color, white balance, and focus, and access diagnostic logs, streaming settings, and network configuration remotely. The system is compatible with Vaddio's free Deployment Tool application for managing multiple units across a facility. The recessed ceiling housing allows staff to clean and sanitize rooms without risk of damaging camera components—a practical advantage for medical, legal, and government environments.

This package includes: RoboFLIP 4K HDBT camera, OneLINK HDMI interface, white trim ring with IR receiver and courtesy light button, tile support brace, IR remote commander, and a 6 ft. USB 3.0 cable. For systems requiring 3G-SDI output or audio mixing, see the Vaddio OneLINK Bridge series at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far can the OneLINK HDMI extend the signal?
The OneLINK HDMI receiver extends power, 4K video, control, and network connection up to 328 ft (100 m) over a single Cat5e or Cat6 HDBaseT cable.

Q: What outputs does the OneLINK HDMI interface provide?
The OneLINK HDMI interface provides HDMI and USB 3.0 outputs. For systems requiring 3G-SDI output or integrated audio mixing, the OneLINK Bridge receiver is needed instead.

Q: Does the camera stream simultaneously to HDMI and IP?
Yes. The RoboFLIP 4K HDBT simultaneously outputs 4K/30 via HDBaseT (converted to HDMI by the OneLINK HDMI) and H.264 IP streaming up to 1080p/30 over the network.

Q: Which third-party control systems are compatible?
The camera supports RS-232 and Telnet control, making it compatible with AMX, Crestron, Extron, Biamp, Q-SYS, and other major control systems. Vaddio also provides a Q-SYS plugin and free Deployment Tool for networked multi-unit management.

Q: Is this system TAA compliant?
Yes. The RoboFLIP 4K HDBT OneLINK HDMI System is TAA compliant, qualifying it for US federal government and defense AV installations.

Q: How does the flipping mechanism confirm video status?
When the system enters standby, the camera rotates 180° and retracts flush with the ceiling enclosure, presenting a flat surface. This provides unambiguous visual confirmation that video capture is not active—critical for legal, medical, and government spaces.

Q: What ceiling tile work is required for installation?
The system is designed for standard 2×2 ceiling tile installation. It ships with a tile support brace and trim ring. Installers cut an opening per the supplied drawing, mount the support brace above the tile, and drop the camera housing in. No additional brackets are required for standard T-bar grid ceilings.

Q: What is the warranty on this system?
Vaddio provides a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
