Vaddio RoboSHOT 12E HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express - 12x HDBaseT PTZ Camera System (Black)

Product Overview

The Vaddio RoboSHOT 12E HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express System is a complete HDBaseT PTZ camera solution for conference rooms, training rooms, and classrooms requiring a wide field of view. The system pairs the RoboSHOT 12E HDBT camera with the OneLINK Bridge Express receiver, delivering power, video, and control over a single Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable up to 328 ft. Simultaneous HDMI, USB 3.0, and IP H.264 streaming outputs make it well-suited for both in-room display and soft-codec conferencing integration.

Product Description

The RoboSHOT 12E is part of Vaddio's Elite Series of professional AV presentation cameras. It features a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor with 2.14 megapixels of effective resolution, delivering 1080p/60 video output. Its 12x optical zoom covers a 70.2° horizontal field of view on the wide end — appropriate for capturing multiple participants in small to mid-size conference rooms and training environments.

The OneLINK Bridge Express receiver provides a streamlined integration path for rooms using UC platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Cisco Webex. The receiver outputs simultaneous HDMI, USB 3.0 (uncompressed, up to 1080p/60), and IP H.264 streaming, and includes audio bridging with a configurable matrix and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). The full system — camera, power, video, and control — runs over a single Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable, simplifying installation in new builds and retrofits.

Remote IP management allows AV administrators to configure camera presets, adjust image settings, and update firmware without physical access to the camera head. The built-in web server supports browser-based control alongside Telnet and RS-232, making the RoboSHOT 12E compatible with most commercial AV control systems including Crestron, Extron, and AMX. Silent BLDC direct-drive motors deliver smooth, quiet pan/tilt movement with ±160° pan and +90°/–30° tilt range and 100 programmable preset positions.
